Morlock 11 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Current favorite: 'Anderton's Great Escape' from Minority Report. One of the best action cues of the past few years. It's fun, exciting, fresh and right on for the scene. JW in his element, reinventing himself. I thought I heard all the different kinds of action cues JW might have in him, but then this one came along. I don't quite understand the animosity many people have towards this score and this cue (though, to be fair, most of those people were Stefan). Morlock- who often seemes to be the only person on this board to genuinly like every single JW score between Sabrina and War of the Worlds, and always seems to be the only one who thinks that MR is one of the scores that makes JW as great as he is Morlock 2- who would love to pre-empt whatever comment Stefan will be making with some witty comment, but, for once, is not sure what direction he will be taking in his reply, if he replies at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Current favorite: 'George sets the pace' from The Eiger Sanction, by John Williams. I liked George's theme in 'Training with George', but it sounds a bit too mock-Baroque. But then you get this track...starting out with that irresistable guitar version of the theme, joined by woodwinds, and then by some sort of harpsicord sounding instrument. Then at 1:09 it goes seemlessly to an 18 second woodwind passage that I just can't get enough of, after which the guitar comes in in a most graceful way, the melody dying down......and then restarting, with a larger ensamble, and then repeating the same passage from before, just this time by strings, with the guitar in the background, than repeating the theme a couple of more times in a classic Williams-esque manner of ending the track by kind of playing around a bit with the end of the theme. Morlock- who wouldn't be surprised if this is the longest paragraph in existance talking about The Eiger Sanction's score. Well, I like it. David Shire does too.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 My current favorite is Elfman's "Ice Dance" from Edward Scissorhands. The entire movie is a perfect combination of film and score, right up there with E.T. in that sense, and I see this piece/scene as somewhat of a focal point of each.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Just to clarify, I was saying it's the way the film and score work to together in Scissorhands that's nearly as perfect as the film/score combination in E.T.; not that Scissorhands is as good a film or score as E.T.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 'An Invitation to the ball' from The Count of Monte Cristo by Ed Shearmur. I hadn't listened to this score in a while, but reading through Doug Fake's old rumbling (available at Intrada's new forums), he praised the score, so I decided to give it a second chance. It did grab me in particular, but this one cue is just a fun, infectous, irresistable scherzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 If it's the track I think,,then it's Willliams most Hillbilly track You say that as if it's a bad thing! (It is indeed that track) Secrets of the Castle from Prisoner of Azkaban. The first half is a dark and hauntingly beautiful arrangement of the Double Trouble and Hedwig themes. Plus, the oboe bit never fails to give me the chills. A wonderful, wonderful track. A nice, dark version of Double Trouble, with hints of Hedwig's theme, and than....the fun begins. The funnest and most mischievous version of Double Trouble yet, with the voices to back it up. Silence- and then it starts. That woodwind run caught my attention more than any other cue in the film. Wonderful, brief moment. The kind of piece that really tells me JW had a good time writing the score- going that extra effort for a tiny little piece of film.
