There Be Dragons - Robert Folk
Now, this is an Erik Woods score if ever I heard one. Really enjoying it.
Booya! Great isn't it?

One film-related song of recent years that I think is a wonderful piece of music: Shirley Bassey's "No Good About Goodbye" that should have been in Quantum of Solace.
THIS is a Bond song - David Arnold does a great job at recreating the whole feel of those 60s/70s Bond song. And having Bassey singing the song also helps a bit!The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Black Gold - James Horner
Love the main theme! If only James Horner had developed it further through out the score instead of repeating it note-by-note in every cue... -

NP: REAL STEEL (Danny Elfman)
The battle cues are cool (Elfman does MV!), but the more introspective music (guitar, strings) for the intimate moments are better.I am extremely serious. -

Magic - Jerry Goldsmith
Always loved the unsettling main theme, creepy use of harmonica too. Plenty of classic Goldsmith suspense moments scattered throughout, many skillfully contorting the main theme. 'The Lake' is another standout cue. -

I've been listening to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and Firebird Suite on a continuous loop all day! I know this should go in the Non-Film Music thread but screw that... everyone (film music fans, too) need to... scratch that... should be required to have these two remarkable, ground breaking, revolutionary classical pieces in their collection.
Now that I'm done my 5th lap with these two... how can I go back to listening to film music? There really isn't anything better, is there?

The Cassandra Crossing - Jerry Goldsmith
Wonderful 70s action/thriller music. Film is hilariously bad, god knows where Goldsmith's inspiration came from. -

Viva Zapata! - Alex North
I woke up this morning with a peculiar urge to listen to something by Alex North. So I am. My favourite Golden Age film composer. -

"Gathering Forces" is one of the great pieces of film music - the original performance remains the definitive one I think. There is an energy to it which isn't really present in any of the re-recordings I've heard and Alfred Newman, conducting, manages to get the perfect balance between the sweetness of the melody (the Newman strings not out in full force, but very much there) and the aggression of the percussion. -

Just saw the begining of KING OF KINGS on Channel 5, now THAT Ladies and Gentlemen is how you write choral music, unlike todays mostly generic choral writing you could take away the choir from the theme to King of Kings and it would still be full of substance.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

It certainly is! I recommend following it up with the Amazing Stories score Alamo Jobe which is stylistically very similar.
