@CrazyDancingJoe Totally feel you, that faux western theme is one of the best "hero" themes ever. Who knew a late 80's dark comedy could have such an awesome score?
Does anyone know what the song is when ray and art are slowly walking to the house with the close-ups and all about to ring the doorbell for the first time?
I love the fact that the guy who wrote the beautiful score to the star trek movies was also the guy who wrote this funny music. God Bless you Jerry Goldsmith wherever you went when you were taken from us.
Dont know why but whjenever im not feeling good, unwell or whatever, I just lie down, shut the world out and put this movie on and it makes me feel better.
Great theme for an interesting movie. One of Joe Dante's best, it reminds me, even to this day, of a stretched out Twilight Zone episode. And come on, who doesn't love the late, great, Brother Theadoore.
I own the Varese Sarabande 25th Anniversary Volume 2 compilation and it has the End Credits from The 'Burbs on there. It's one of the only tracks on that compilation thus far (I've listened through up to halfway of disc 3) that I come back to often, it's just that great. I haven't heard 95% of Goldsmith's entire output but he hasn't let me down yet.
There's still a lot of music of his that I need to listen too. He was at his best during the Bronze Age which took place during late 70s through out most of the 80s and early 90s.
it came with the frame.
