    By what criterea do you make such a bold statement? I would agree that he's our greatest living orchestral film composer.

    Because he's John Williams. There is no criteria. If you aren't John Williams then it sucks to be you. wink

    Williams rules. Fact! End of story!

    I admire him greatly, but no one tops Thomas Newman in my book.

    Horner isn't lacking any in comparison either.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    He's not lacking but he isn't John Williams who is the best of the best out of the living composers.

    You do know that I was playing devils advocate? It's hard for me to disagree with you so unless someone here can come up with a better argument.........

    Southall's entry was the best counterpoint and I have to admit to being seriously shaken in my convictions.
    So being the dandy lion that I am, I immediately retreat and discuss some Horner (apologies for going off-topic on the off-topic on the on-topic shame )

    I like James Horner. love Mostly.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Jerry Goldsmith.

    END. OF. DISCUSSION.


    I remember reading that Henry Mancini said one time, "Jerry, you scare the shit out of us."

    No, not "Johnny, you scare the shit out of us."


    Jerry wore a chemo pack on the scorng stage, dying, but doing another film score. Johnny buys black turtle necks.

    Who did Richard Donner consider for "Superman" first? It wasn't Johnny!
    Jerry had a schedule conflict, then Williams was asked, but Williams had one too, so who did they ask next? Well, they didn't want on Johnny's schedule to clear, they just asked JERRY FREAKIN' GOLDSMITH again.

    You might as well ask what is better, boobs or ass. Everyone's going to have a strong opinion on either, but ultimately they both rule.

    If we continued down a route of dead composers then the likes of Goldsmith and Williams would be minnows compared to the giants of the classical world.

    Well, Jamie is the ass, that's for sure.

    And since everybody likes listening (i.e., "looking") at Williams, he's clearly the boobs.

    Because he worked with him on The Omen.
