Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 It's TJ's last poll all over again! But, because of the inclusion of Spielberg/Williams the answer will be easy to predict. Oh well. BTW, a notable exclusion: the Leone/Morricone collaboration.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Goldsmith's collaborations with Crichton, Dante, Verhoeven, Schaffner and Wise have yielded nothing but great scores for talented filmmakers.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 It's TJ's last poll all over again!No, because I think the obvious #1 is Spielberg, in the first poll I was asking the 2nd greatest collaboration ever, in the second poll your favourite between Zemeckis/Silvestri Vs.

tony69 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Well Spielberg and Williams are both amazing geniuses. The important thing of course is that Spielberg likes music and respects williams' music. i recall for ET he said he would cut the film to william's bike chase sequence rather than other way around. It's because of these things that they are so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benefactor 3 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Two or three movies together are not enough for consistent composer/director relationship. Indeed De Palma loves working with different composers (Herrman, Morricone, Sakamoto , Donaggio, Williams, Elfman, Doyle, Moroder etc.)Jerry Goldsmith & Ridley Scott Are you kidding? Goldsmith hated to work with Scott. Once he said he'll never forgive him.As for Verhoeven don't forget Goldsmith, Rogier van Oterloo, Loek Dikker, Dave A.

batmanand 0 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 JW and Spielberg is undoubtedly the greatest composer/director collaboration. Indeed, i would go so far as to say it is one of the greatest of all cinematic relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEfranz_conrad 0 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 OTHER.... Jerry Goldsmith and Franklin Schaeffer.Lionheart, Islands in the Stream, Patton, Planet of the Apes, Papillon, The Boys from Brazil and The Stripper. Shame on the person who included Zimmer/Scott, Ottman/Singer over this one.Also one of the best - Sakamoto/Bertolucci - The Sheltering Sky, Little Buddha and The Last Emperor are all top of the line scores.

bondo 33 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 There's nothing wrong with the Zimmer/Scott or Ottman/Singer choices. They're perfectly legitimate. That said, not every collaboration can be Williams/Spielberg great every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEfranz_conrad 0 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I challenge any man to prove to me that Ottman/Singer deserves a place on a list of great composer director partnerships over any of Jerry Goldsmith's collaborations, especially the Schaeffer collaboration. I suspect its absent because with the exception of the Herrmann/Hitchcock collaboration, too few film score fans even know about it. Which is a shame.

Director 1 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 My vote went to Hitch & Benny, but I must point out you left out the 2nd greatest director-composer collabo: Fellini & Rota. In both these cases, these composers defined the nature of the films and that clearly makes them the best. (Of course, just my opinion.)Director - passing through...

Hitch 58 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 My vote went to Hitch & BennyDirector - passing through...You chose....wisely! Also don't forget Peter Weir and Maurice JarreJoe Johnston and James HornerEdward Zwick and James Horner (though not since 1996)Neil Jordan (Up the Irish) and Elliot GoldenthalJulie Taymor and Elliot Goldenthal (unless there's a divorce)Alfred Hitchcock and Franz Waxman / Dmitri Tiomkin before that hack Herrmann came on the scene. Curse you, Lyn Murray And last but not least and maybe slightly out of sync with the above but we are talking collaborators:Lorenzo Da Ponte and Wolfgang Amadeus MozartPeter Sellars and John AdamsMovie quote of the day:THE NAKED GUN (1988), starring Sir Leslie Nielsen and Academy Award winner Sir George Kennedy.Frank: "How's Nordberg?

Magnus 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm not sure the composers of the 30's, 40's should be included, since it was, as far as I know more about the film companies deciding on who scores what. Just like the film companies decided who directs what and who acts in this or that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
