Dean1700 4 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 There have been far to many threads about what our favourite score is or the best score ever but what CD is in your collection that is your least listened to. Maybe it is because the score is just bad or because you prefer to listen to something else instead. Are there any scores in your collection you have not listened to at all?Mine are:Harts WarThe Last Castle andThe Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 It's not exactly a "score", but my only CD I've never listened to fully is the John Barry: Themeology. I generally just skip around tracks on it.I only listened to Pirates of the Caribbean once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I never listen to both Home Alone except for the Christmas time. That means that those 3 CDs are played only 1-2 times in a year.Greatest Christmas scores, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 The Jungle Book...Almost all fo these are scores I barely picked up after the first listen (a couple I haven't really listened to yet).The '94 Poledouris score? Really?! Tell me that's one of the ones you haven't really listened to yet. It's really a fantastic score. Although some good stuff was left off the soundtrack, for the most part it has the highlights. If you haven't heard it, listen to it, like...now. If you have...wow. Just wow.

Ollie 1,069 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 When you have over 600 film scores there are alot that might sit awhile before they get played again.Now if you mean scores that I find dull, I don't have any in my collection. If I don't like it I don't waste my money buying it. If I'm not sure I'll sample the sound clips before purchasing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I like the statements of the themes in the Main Title. "Treasure Room" (oddly named, but that's the track) is one of my favorites also. "Civilization" is one of my favorites, my favorite part being the A part (there's actually three different cues in the track), with the cue-exclusive Civilization motif--which I like a lot. "Shere Khan Attacks" has some pretty cool action music, as does "Spoils." I really like the whole thing, but off the top of my head, there they are.And I know the feeling, Mark. It's not so much that I'm bored of any scores that I own, it's just sometimes the rotation works so I don't hear stuff for a while. Usually when I buy something, I like it, and listen to it over and over for at least a week or so, then I'll move to a rotation of my previously bought stuff.

A24 4,369 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Blame H.G. Wells.I can't blame the original work a director chooses to base his movie on. Spielberg is responsible for what is and what is not shown in his movie. For instance, Spielberg placed the story in 2005. Should we blame Wells for that also?

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I'm quite happy with the 1953 version. There's actually a pretty impressive battle scene, some awesome special effects for the time, incredible alien craft designs and a noteworthy score by Leith Stevens. There's not much I don't like about that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaderbait1 1 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Manchurian Candidate (2005)'s score. It sounded so good in the movie, and I hadn't bought a CD in such a long time.

If ever there was a score that can't stand on its own, this is the one. Yes, except for the Epilogue. I think that brass part is brilliant, listening to the clips of the track before the film came out, it sent shivers down my spine, and really got me psyched about the score. In the end, it was only used twice in the film, but that piece IMO says, more than anything else in the score 'The War of The Worlds'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,773 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I don't get all this negativity towards WotW. I listen to it all the time, especially The Reunion Plus I don't think the movie called for a very thematic approach (although I often hum the theme from the aforementioned track)Then again, I've never listened through Superman, Witches of Eastwick or any SW OT's. I guess I'm more of a 90's/00's Williams fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
