TubeLover Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 And a handful that *I* enjoy... Captain From Castile - Alfred Newman The Four Feathers - Miklos Rozsa Raise the Titanic - John Barry Battle of Britain - Ron Goodwin The Blue Max - Jerry Goldsmith ***Ben–Hur*** (1959) - Miklos Rozsa (The best!!!) The Ten Commandments - Elmer Bernstein Shane - Victor Young The Magnificent 7 (1960) - Elmer Bernstein Eye of the Needle - Miklos Rozsa E.T - John Williams To Kill A Mockingbird - Elmer Bernstein Psycho - Bernard Herrmann The Jungle Book (1940) - Miklos Rozsa Kings Row - Erich Wolfgang Korngold Just watched the Blue Max last night. An old favorite of mine too, and an underrated film. JC Link to comment
gmgraves Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Just watched the Blue Max last night. An old favorite of mine too, and an underrated film. JC OK. But you do understand that my interest in these movies is largely (in many cases) the music scores, not the films themselves. I mean, as great as John Barry's score for Raise the Titanic is, and it is great, the movie is mediocre beyound belief. Blue Max is an Ok movie, but the score is much better than the movie, etc. etc. However, to me Ben-Hur IS the best film the Hollywood System ever made with the best music score ever written for a film George Link to comment

Melvin Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 For me The Rocky Horror Picture Show ranks as the most fun. Other favorites already mentioned include Amadeus, Almost Famous, and High Fidelity. DuckToller 1 Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I've just finished watching: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mississippi_grind A fine movie with lots of good blues in it! (and one terrible Eric Satie piano performance but it was supposed to be like that) BTW has this movie been mentioned? I liked it a lot. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ray "𝐼𝓉'𝓈 𝒶 𝒻𝑜𝓁𝓀 𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓇'𝓈 𝒿𝑜𝒷 𝓉𝑜 𝒸𝑜𝓂𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓉 𝒹𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑒𝒹 𝓅𝑒𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝒹𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓊𝓇𝒷 𝒸𝑜𝓂𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓉𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝓅𝑒𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒" - 𝒲𝑜𝑜𝒹𝓎 𝒢𝓊𝓉𝒽𝓇𝒾𝑒. Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 @semente Oh, yeah! All three parts are good. And BTW - BBC Planet Earth! It's a documentary. But a great one and with a great soundtack. The first series were from 2006. Planet Earth II is aired now. It's simply fantastic! Just check it out!

PleasantSounds Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 A couple I haven't seen mentioned yet: "The Graduate" - classic with soundtrack by Simon & Garfunkel "The Children of Sanchez" with a brilliant soundtrack by Chuck Mangione, but the movie much less appealing +1 for "Amadeus" and "The Wall" Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yvonne, an old friend of mine sent me an e-mail some days ago: 'I got no time, could you check out if it's any good? (youtube link)'. She's got interested in neuroscience recently and she knows that if a music documentary is an interesting one I will surely watch it. Well, IMO this one is. If you are interested not only in music/neuroscience but also in such topics as music/maths, physics, medicine etc - I strongly recommend it. Also if you wonder whether being struck by the lightning can make you develop an interest in classical music and even make you start composing or if babies' vocalisations follow harmonic patterns or whether songs of humpback whales in some regards resamble birds songs or which animal has the strongest rhythmic skills (not joking) : I simply recommend it. I found the information about different parts of the brain being specialised in perception of such different aspects of sound and music as timbres, rhythm, low/mid/high frequencies etc very intriguing. Could it be the reason why we like so diverse audio gear.? Or why critical listening (consciously activating its specialised parts.?) is so different from 'just' listening (more relying on the synthesis of information coming from these parts 30ms later).? It's a PBS documentary. It features some well known scientists and musicians - Bobby Mc Ferrin, Yo-Yo Ma, Daniel Barenboim and others. Hope you'll like it too. Thank you Yvonne!
