Kevin McCallister 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Okay guys, I know I started this a LONG time ago and it's been ancient, but I'm starting this up again.For those of you who don't remember, I started posting movie theme contests here a while back, the first three being Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Superman, and Home Alone, the winners for each being Parade of The Slave Children, the Krypton theme, and Star Of Bethlehem. Now, how about Catch Me If You Can?Tough choice for me. All the themes are great. However, I have to go with the chase motif. So fun, so playful, but the Father's Theme is also beautiful. The only gripe I have with it is that it's a LITTLE depressing. Sometimes, I feel like I can only listen to it if I'm pissed off or feeling kinda low. Frank's theme is also good, but I don't think it is as good as the previous two.Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I chose the Chase Theme - like Kevin said, it's so fun, and with a bit of urgency and mystery. Frank's Theme is really close for me, though. The Father's Theme works very well in the film, but I don't enjoy it that much as a listening experience.Ray BarnsburyPS - Keven, I really like these polls, keep 'em coming! I wouldn't mind doing one sometime, as long as you haven't copyrighted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 You know I still never got this score. I need to pick it up. Anyway I say the Chase Theme personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Um isn't the Chase theme the theme in the Main Titles and Frank's theme in The Float?Justin - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 And the Father's Theme is called Recollections, too.I had to go for Frank's Theme. So playful, so innocent, so fragile. So much like the character. Its leit-motif qualities are excellent. And so rythmic, it allows for a dynamic and superb score.-Ross, bigger CMIYC fan than he can explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 The waste of money last year was going to Wal-Mart to get the Attack of the Clones soundtrack, which reportedly had the extra track on it. It was only later in the day that fans started to realize that Target had the bonus track and not Wal-Mart. I wound up with 2 CD's. I gave one to my sister.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlao-roo 389 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Frank's Theme -- it's the heart of the score.Cinemusic finds it "saccharine." Cinemusic is orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch 294 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I can't have Williams music out there and me not listen to it. Last Christmas I tried to restrain from buying Chamber of Secrets and Catch Me If You Can CDs, thinking that it would make easy gifts that my family could get me... I couldn't do it. I had to have them and listen to them. I'm quite insane like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I would have thought it odd would never tell it on myself until Neil disclosed that about himself. TPM is not the only film score I am yet to unseal and hear, though.I might listen to it durin this weekend. But some particular track times scare me off terribly! It's like a film score in the megamix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
