    Starship Troopers perhaps Anthony?

    And for choral something like The End of all things...

    Hmmm...I've kinda gone the opposite route the last few years. I rarely listen to my non-stop, heads-on action scores anymore (even though they make out the majority of my collection). I prefer the quite, melodic, ethereal, moody stuff instead. Could it be my age?

    Yes! biggrin wink
    Seriously though, I feel the same way. I still love action scores but they're not so much on my 'to play' list as they used to be, I much prefer more "cerebral" scores in the vein of what you mentioned.

    Ah! So that explains it, I'm getting old... wink
    And I always thought the action scores get played the least because I have to show some consideration for the people around me. That's why I usually take the quiet scores, so others will like it too.

    Jablonsky's Transformers is pretty much on repeat here...

    Masters Of The Universe - Bill Conti

    Bombastic, pompus, richly thematic and not completely original.

    I love it!

    Bill Conti, not completely original?? Never!!! moon

    The Right Stuff...The Planets, Shostakovich Symphonies and the orchestral tutti of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto lifted almost note for note....

    Christopher Young's Hard Rain - a hugely fun listen. Diverting this off-topic slightly, does anyone know what his original track titles were supposed to be?


    Hard Rain is awesome. But I think Christopher Young's best action opus is The Core. I love it!! ...to the core.

    You want "big"? Open up the Basil Poledouris registry. Flesh + Blood, the Conans, Starship Troopers, all of it is HUGE! Robocop is more suspenseful but has its share of big, bold pieces, too.

    And check out most of Miklos Rozsa's sword & sandal epics. All HUGE.

    In the film Batman, The Beginning it was so loud in the theater due to their volume or just the soundtrack itself I really wanted earplugs!

    The film 300 was awful
    listen to more classical music!
