    If it wasn't for Schindler's List, I'd say JAWS is Spielberg's best film.


    Very arguable.

    Jaws is darn near perfect, Schindler's made me cringe once or twice ( and not for the right reasons )


    Having seen Jaws for the first time in about 2006, I found it silly and cringe-worthy. And yet I absolutely adore Jurassic Park, and I saw that when I was about nine. Context and age are everything when it comes to enjoyment of films.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    No, it was definitely the original Jaws. And I've seen nature documentaries about sharks that were scarier than that film. I mean, how can you be afraid of one silly shark when you've already seen the masterpiece of stalking terrors that are Spielberg's raptors?

    Hmm, quite. The complete score is a great listen too, as Alan recently mentioned. Creates quite a different perspective on the whole score since there's a few inclusions of Courage's original theme.

    I can't wait to see this film on Blu-Ray just to hear the score against the wonderful imagery!


    I have ST: The Motion Picture on Blu-Ray and it looks amazing!
    I wish they could release the "Directors Cut" on BR as well but it looks like that wont happen.
    Like Timmer said it's not a great film but it sure is watchable! It has an epic grandness to it.
    And Goldsmith's score is beyond perfection (if that's possible)!






    As for JAWS, Simply brilliant! Both film and score. End of argument! cool

    Yeah? JAWS is certainly not a cringe worthy film. Yeah, the shark may look fake at times, but it's so well directed by a young Spielberg, it doesn't matter!

    I first saw it about 4 years ago, didn't think it was cringe worthy at all.

    The complete score is a fine listen, but I often return to the second disc of the official album more so than the complete score. cool

    Can you describe the character of the music a little? Based around a couple of themes in a romantic classical idiom, would you say?


    It's a bit like the good parts of Brideshead Revisited and Becoming Jane transported to modern sensibilities. It's not in the classical idiom. The opening theme with the cascading piano is a highlight for me. Here's a youtube link to it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNfPK7BOVvQ

    I can understand that, but in the film it's very effective (and this is what film music is primarily for, right?) Certainly not one that's meant to be noticed.

    Oh, I agree. I saw the film a year or two ago and it was a perfect fit. But I really don't think it merits its own album and listening experience apart from the film.

    Big Spielberg nut that I am, never thought as Jaws as one to have, sure it's a good effective thriller with standout moments, but I don't think it aged that well, and remember I was young as well when I first saw it, it just didn't rock my boat ( rolleyes ) like some of his other work. It still doesn't. The unseen alien abductors in CE3K give me the willies much more than that big ol' shark ever will... tongue

    If I should give a personal Spielberg top 3 I would say: Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters, Schindler's List. Jaws just don't cut it. IMO.

    NP: Star Trek - Michael Giacchino

    I have a new found appreciation for this one after FINALLY seeing the film last nice. The opening sequence was remarkable and Giacchino was in top form all the way through to the final call of his new Trek theme over top of the gigantic STAR TREK title! Trilling and emotionally charged music.

    This film was also the first Trek film that had me on the verge of tears. Not even Spock's death in Wrath of Khan holds a candle to the the birth of James T. Kirk sequence in the new film. With the sound effects dialed down Giacchino's heartfelt music was allow to take centre stage. And while that isn't a unique device in film making it worked... and worked wonders!

    What a fun ride and the score is splendid!

    We can give thanks to the fact that 'Bruce' barely worked due to technical problems cool

    The film is a near perfect masterpiece, a film with heart and soul, fantastic performances from every member of the cast, iconic scenes ( Quint's Indianapolis speech ) and a dream score to boot.
