Mary Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 The music of Brave Heart was very good - haunting even. Of course 2001 - a Space Odyssey was darn good too - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly also - too many too choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I believe it was the first Arnie film with his name above the title. The music is awesome, and I've said it in other threads, the music in the orgy scene is better than Saint-Saens orgy music in SAMSON AND DELILAH. Composer was Basil Polidouris, from So.Calif. If anyone has a phobia about snakes, avoid this movie along with all the other snake films, though. James Earl Jones morphs into a giant snake in CONAN.

observer Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 They used Saint-Saens organ music, in the film "Babe"; about the little pig who thought he was a sheep dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Whenever I hear something fresh or new or good on the radio,and the announcer then says,"that was xxxx by Saint-Saens" I always nod and think "it figures!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Usually, anything composed by John Barry is well worth it - eg James Bond theme & incidental music, 'Dances with Wolves', 'Out of Africa' and many many more. Also like Ennio Morricone 'The Mission' & others, Hans Zimmer 'Thin Red Line' etc etc, James Horner 'A Beautiful Mind'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You've hit the nail on the head. Our 'serious music' composers these days are film soundtrack musicians. I used to browse that bin more than the popular music bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I suppose both Peter and Obs are conversant with Mexico's famed Dos Equis. I think might even have seen a Tres Equis, but I've never heard of Quatro Equis in any place - are you suggesting???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goonerman Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Monty Norman composed the James Bond Theme, but John Barry arranged it and really souped it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 The Jaws attack music was awesome and so simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 The musician who performed the shark theme died last month. The two note theme - with a tuba -- not the swimming music. Uh oh, you meant the attack music, not the two notes alerting us to the shark's presence. Sorry.
