    Regarding William's use of Korngold... the Star Wars theme has many notes from one of Korngold's works... I don't know by heart which piece it is, but its pretty much the same; ta ta ta.. ta taaaa etc etc. Nothing against it... just didn't know that Williams used this piece for "his" main title music for Star Wars, until I heard one of Gerhardt's re-recordings of Korngold's works.

    Regarding Horner, I am forever grateful that he wrote Krull. My favorite fantasy score of all time. Its an absolute thrill; superb loonnnggg theme... the wonder of the music of the Glaive, the music for the firemares, battle music, that great love theme... etc etc. My favorite forever.

    So I always have a soft spot for Horner's music... so when I hear some ppl saying that Spiderwick has some Krull like stuff... I can't wait to hear it. (I love some parts in Horner's Troy, especially towards the end, because of the Krull/Battle beyond the stars inspired parts, now that's the Horner I like)

    Again, another attempt by a desperate Horner fan trying to validate Horner plagiarism by bringing other composers into the mix.

    No wonder I've become sick to death of these film score forums, with comments like that.


    Can't handle the truth?

    KING'S ROW is the one, I think. Apart from the opening leap though (which is unmistakable), Korngold's becomes a very different sort of tune.

    But wouldn't you just rather than listen to Krull then listen to a second rate version of it in Spiderwick... or second rate Casper in this case?

    I am not hunderd percent sure what you mean, but I guess you mean why I should like to listen to second rate Krull/Casper scores instead of the real deal; Krull itself.

    The reason is that I know this score since 1992 (first the expanded Southern Cross one, and then the complete double cd) note for note, I can whistle this score from the beginning till the end.. so to speak. I even made (at that time) my own alternative album cover art for the Southern Cross version. (based on the original LP)

    So Krull I know by heart, therefore it is always great to hear anything closely related to Krull. (I even recorded an episode from the TV series Hercules, which had a Krull like children choir for a few seconds in the beginning of an episode) So, there you have it; Krullmania. (hey, I guess that will become my new nickname here... hehe)

    Oh yeah, one forgotten or seldomly reviewed/discussed Horner score that I really like is Once Upon A Forest. A treasure. I love it. (except one obnoxious song; "he's back")

    I have to say that I don't hear anything like Krull in Spiderwick. It's grown on me a lot, though.

    Well, Spiderwick sounds quite nice -- yes, I did notice the minor Casper references but it's light and pleasant, particularly the "End Titles" cue. Not nearly as good as his early to mid-1980s work but it's nice.

    My top 3 Horner scores are:

    1. Wrath of Khan
    2. Krull
    3. The Rocketeer

    I'd wait for Ralph, Sure he'll be doing a top 3 Horner soon?

    Brainstorm and Deadly Blessing are my two favourite Horner scores, and I also believe Aliens is extremely good.

    Hey, weren't we just supposed to pick THREE favourites?
    I am extremely serious.
  21. I know, I know ... you like less. tongue

    But less is more, and if you like more, than you should be happy with that kind of "less" we have provided.

    You guys are so eager to go on with this... well, okay then. Give me your TOP THREE Horner scores. I´ve taken Justin´s and Matt´s votes into account. Jordi, please specify a ranking or name just three.

    Here´s the first account, my votes not included, since I still have to decide on them...

    1st place: Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan 5 points
    2nd place: Krull / Something Wicked This Way Comes / Titanic 2 points each

    The Rocketeer / Willow 1 point each
  23. I didn't put them in order, like I mentioned. If you have to take three only, take ST2, SWTWC and Titanic.

  24. Oh, sorry, I didn´t see that, I rushed through this. Adjusted with two points each.

    Yes, what franz said. In terms of Horner, favourites change all the time.

    But I'll give it a go:

    1. ALIENS (the original release, not the deluxe release....amazing to see me give the first place to a horror score, which I don't generally like, but there's something special about this one)
    2. STAR TREK II
    3. TITANIC
    I am extremely serious.
