Jay 37,370 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 #1 of this criteria for me must be Graeme Revell. I've seen soooo many films he's scored - The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, The Crow, Tank Girl, Strange Days, From Dusk till Dawn, The Saint, Suicide Kings, The Big Hit, The Negotiator, The Siege, Idle Hands, Pitch Black, Titan AE, Red Planet, Human Nature, Tomb Raider, Daredevil, Open Water, Walking Tall, Chronicles of Riddick, Aeon Flux, on and on and on and on, and yet I've never once been compelled to check out one of his scores outside the film Does anybody else have a composer like that?

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'm not sure how many of his films I've seen, but I also have essentialy nothing by Revell. Only the three tracks that are on the From Dusk Till Dawn soundtrack, and they're about as overshadowed as it's possible to be by the songs. I did see the Power Rangers movie he did in the late 90s as a kid, and checked out the OST for that in the last year or so - nothing of interest.

Bespin 8,484 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Without having seen ALL their movies...ehhh... Don Davis, Michael Giacchino and Basil Poledouris. Ok now you can throw me rocks! Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Christophe Beck nearly makes it to my list. I've got a Buffy compilation which is quite good, and a few cues from Frozen. But I've seen WandaVision, the two Ant Man movies, all 3 Hangovers, Tower Heist, What Happens in Vegas, Without a Paddle, Cheaper by the Dozen and quite possibly others, and never had an urge to listen to any of the music.

Jay 37,370 Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 That's a good one, I've seen a lot of projects he has scored, but only wanted to own the Ant-man scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,466 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Daniel Pemberton (he's talented, but he's really not my style of music, with the exception of Enola Holmes) John Ottman (though Jack the Giant Slayer was pretty good) Post 2010 Marco Beltrami Every Bourne-style spy or thriller score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I have a similar view of Pemberton. I sort of like a few bits of The Rescue but really it's just Enola Holmes. Definitely with you on the modern thriller genre - Bourne, Salt, pretty much any other movie like that is unlikely to have a score I like.

Mentioning John Ottman, I only have his H20 score, which quotes Carpenter's Halloween Theme. So, I own a little bit John Carpenter score on CD.

Surprising - I don't have loads from either but their styles are very different. Frizzell tends to be more on the harsher, atonal side (at least for his action scores) that JWFan loves so much so I wouldn't be surprised if he's not very popular outside his films.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I've got a few like Mark Mancina, Christophe Beck, Henry Jackman, Harry Gregson-Williams, Dimitri Tiomkin (but that one should end soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's kind of where I was going with this. Like take Graeme Revell, he's scored a ton of big popular films, so he must be doing something right; Maybe I should check out some of his scores to movies I've liked, outside of the movies?

Bespin 8,484 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I don't know this Graeme Revell at all, but according to my usual method, If I was to discover him, I would start by these three scores: Darfur Now (2007) (IMFCA Nominee) The Saint (1997) (BMI Award Winner) Freddy vs. Jason (2003) (BMI Award Winner) (that movie was fun! A good mash-up between two icons!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,484 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 @Brundlefly Regarding starting a collection of a new composer you don't already collect, I would say to start with the current selling Expanded Sets (those who are not I think yet OOP). Danny Elfman DOLORES CLAIBORNE: THE DELUXE EDITION (2 CD / 2500 EDITION) (CD) MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE / 2 CD / 3000 EDITION) (CD) SLEEPY HOLLOW (4CD) (CD) James Horner *BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED (2CD) (CD) APOLLO 13 (2CD) (CD) BRAVEHEART (2 CD / REISSUE / 3000 EDITION) (CD) CASPER: 25TH ANNIVERSARY (REMASTERED / 2 CD / 3000 EDITION) (CD) CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (2 CD / 2000 EDITION) (CD) COCOON (EXPANDED) (CD) FIELD OF DREAMS: REMASTERED / EXPANDED (2 CD / 5000 EDITION) (CD) GLORY (EXPANDED / REMASTERED / 2 CD / 5000 EDITION) (CD) JUMANJI (2 CD) (CD) LEGENDS OF THE FALL (EXPANDED 2CD) (CD) STAR TREK II: WRATH OF KHAN (2 CD / 10000 EDITION) (CD) STAR TREK III: SEARCH FOR SPOCK (REISSUE) (CD) THE LAND BEFORE TIME (EXPANDED) (CD) TITANIC (4 CD / 5000 EDITION) (CD) WILLOW (2 CD) (CD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,140 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I am shamefully lacking lots of Golden Age composers like Max Steiner and Korngold. I'd like the right time in my life to remedy that. I only have one Bernard Herrmann score (Pscyho), and that's a shame. I am lacking lots of Modern Age composers. I will likely never explore them. Somebody name some more composers. I can't think of more I'm missing. GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody name some more composers. I can't think of more I'm missing. Concerning Golden Age, Steiner & Co. I recommend the 12-CD box with the Charles Gerhardt recordings. That is a great entry. And I think, I can more or less recommend all Max Steiner re-recordings by William Stromberg. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
