My Favorite 43 Film Scores V3

[blackmoresnight]

You got a good taste

[edwardcullenrules123]

Is it just me, or does the guy from broken arrow look like olly murs??

[gvflessas]

What? No Superman?

[1RadicalOne]

I have never heard that theme, and I suspect I would not like it enough to bump another score.

[gvflessas]

@1RadicalOne It is most unfortunate that you have never heard that song. The score for the original Superman movie was quite good. I highly encourage you to seek it out, as judging from the list, you are a John Williams fan. This is a nice list, though. I do like how Robocop is included. :)

[1RadicalOne]

It is now on my "To Do" list.

...Right behind 2012. ;)

[EspioArtwork]

Wuzblade

[jamboo01]

Craig Armstrong - Plunkett & Macleane

[charlesolivier89]

Très bon choix. Rain man est mon préféré surtout avec la scene du casino

[1RadicalOne]

Je n'ai pas vu la film; je ne peux pas commenter.

[1RadicalOne]

Obviously spam, quite possibly auto-generated. This is not even a movie.

[Hackeball45]

your nice

[1RadicalOne]

A sequel to what? This video?

[o0smd0o]

Hm a bit toooo much Hans Zimmer here, right?!

I like the Score from Jurassic Park - reminds me on Universal Studios in Hollywood ;)

[1RadicalOne]

There isn't a lot of Zimmer himself, just lots of his coworkers; I like that style of score.

As for Jurassic Park, that's because Williams almost always works with Spielberg, or at least Universal.

[laurensmalter]

Hans Zimmer is simply great, not weird he's in here so much, all of his songs are masterpieces!

[AMKALOS21]

nice obviously the best one is transformers score composed by steve jablonksy

[1RadicalOne]

Yes, the score to the first Transformers film is my favorite as well.

PS

If you want more of that, see my "Best of Steve Jablonsky" video.

[Sniper2477]

Twister owned all of these

[igotbored44]

save the best for last eh?

[1RadicalOne]

I did it in alphabetical order; if I were to put it in order of preference, I would have started with the Transformers score.

[igotbored44]

Yeah i see. Oh Ive got a question. Ive been looking for the Twister score all over. Ive checked, several stores and couldnt find it. I cant seem to find it online eather, and i don't want to risk downloading some sort of virus for "Free"

Im assuming that you have digital files of them, could you send them in an email?

[1RadicalOne]

I am not willing to violate copyright.

I purchased it from Amazon[.]com, so it can definitely be found there.

[1RadicalOne]

If one desires to leave a comment, please do so on the new video:

[cjbrett22]

no thomas newman!!!!!??? :O good list though :)

[1RadicalOne]

The only piece by Thomas Newman that I've heard and like is his score to "Pay it Forward", and even then, I feel it cannot compare with these. More, I had entirely forgotten about that film at the time of making and uploading all three versions of this.

[cjbrett22]

ah right. personally i think he is a genius (although not my favorite)

how about these:

James Newton Howard

Howard Shore

Danny Elfman

John Powell

Elliot Goldenthal

Patrick Doyle?

Just curious tbh. I can see you like Media Ventures/Remote Control!

[1RadicalOne]

I have a piece by James Newton Howard - though I don't remember which. I also have two of Elfman's pieces, the only one I can remember being "I, Robot", and that wasn't so good. I know the names John Powell and Patrick Doyle, but can't recall having any of their music.

[JoeSnyderwalk]

Agree with all except the Transformers scores...

[1RadicalOne]

You don't like them? Do you dislike the music, or find it to be too close to other composers (notably Zimmer)?

[JoeSnyderwalk]

Exactly. Well, to be honest, I do enjoy listening to them, but there are a LOT of similarities to other Hans Zimmer scores: the action music sounds like Batman Begins, and the Autobots theme has a similar chord progression to a theme from King Arthur.

But otherwise, a good list, rather heavy on Media Ventures but I like Media Ventures so no problem ;)

[1RadicalOne]

Granted, there are indeed similarities - Jablonsky worked for Zimmer for a time - but that in no way hinders musical elegance and beauty, but yes, it does cast a minor pall on the composer's reputation.

[1RadicalOne]

It should also be noted that Jablonsky's imitation - which is purely stylistical - pales in comparison to what James Horner appears to do, borrowing entire motifs from entirely unrelated composers. (I am not intending to "trash" Horner - his music is excellent - but this is indeed relevant.)

[JoeSnyderwalk]

No kidding, though there are moments in Transformers where entire motifs are ripped off of earlier Zimmer scores. You might move me to Spam for this, but I did make a video of film music similarities that shows what scores Transformers is similar to. You might want to check it out!

[1RadicalOne]

I won't mark that as spam. Legitimate references or links to relevant videos are not spam. I'll check it out soon - I'm a bit busy with another program ("BAT") - at the moment.

[Oscarete1]

Good selection. : )
