You won't see a lot of them in the 90's. This was my personal "Golden Age" in terms of soundtrack acquisitions and interest, and it was mostly Hollywood scores that caught my interest.    Posted:   Nov 19, 2011 - 7:17 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Still waiting for Thor's first non-Hollywood score...

But have any non-Hollywood (or even norwegian) scores made your lists so far, on all the years you have participated in?    Posted:   Nov 19, 2011 - 8:02 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Still waiting for Thor's first non-Hollywood score...

But have any non-Hollywood (or even norwegian) scores made your lists so far, on all the years you have participated in? Sure. Quite a few non-Hollywood scores in earlier (or more contemporary) stuff. Not too many Norwegian scores, though. But funny you should ask...I'll be appearing on Kulturhuset on P2 on Friday and talk about Norwegian film music history. I'll be sure to pick out some favourites then.    Posted:   Nov 19, 2011 - 9:23 AM     By:   BrenKel   (Member) Without question this was a great year for James Horner who actually had 6 scores in the cinema that year although one, Legends of the Fall, was released in the US in 94 actually arrived on our shores in the UK in 95. Top 5 for that year: Braveheart - James Horner Apollo 13 - James Horner First Knight - Jerry Goldsmith Casper - James Horner Judge Dredd - Alan Silvestri Honourable mentions in this great year for film scores: Under Seige 2 - Basil Poledouris Congo - Jerry Goldsmith Lawnmower Man 2 - Robert Folk Waterworld - James Newton Howard Jumanji - James Horner    Posted:   Nov 19, 2011 - 9:47 AM     By:   solarwnz   (Member) "Powder (Jerry Goldsmith - mysteriously, this is a favorite of many JG fans" Including Jerry himself! This was a particularly memorable year for me in terms of purchasing scores. I recall buying many over the spring, summer and fall and thinking, "Wow. A lot of great scores this year!" My top five are pretty familiar: 1. Jerry Goldsmith - First Knight 2. James Horner - Braveheart 3. James Horner - Apollo 13 4. James Newton Howard - Waterworld 5. Jerry Goldsmith - Powder Runners up: John Debney - Cutthroat Island. Alan Silvestri - Judge Dredd James Horner - Casper Michael Kamen - Mr. Holland's Opus. Carter Burwell - Rob Roy    Posted:   Nov 19, 2011 - 10:15 AM     By:   goldsmith-rulez   (Member) "Powder (Jerry Goldsmith - mysteriously, this is a favorite of many JG fans" Including Jerry himself! Yeah? Let's not forget he also considered RUDY one of his finest scores.    Posted:   Nov 19, 2011 - 10:54 AM     By:   solarwnz   (Member) "Let's not forget he also considered RUDY one of his finest scores." As do I!    Posted:   Nov 22, 2011 - 6:09 PM     By:   ToneRow   (Member) Can't even reach to 5 titles for this '95 year. BEYOND RANGOON by Hans Zimmer TO DIE FOR by Danny Elfman plus Elmer Bernstein's rejected '95 score for THE SCARLET LETTER & Jerry Goldsmith's re-recording on Varese Sarabande in 1995 of Alex North's A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. It was a pretty good year for art films, though: Claude Chabrol's LA CEREMONIE ULYSSES' GAZE by Theo Angelopoulos Michelangelo Antonioni's BEYOND THE CLOUDS    Posted:   Nov 23, 2011 - 8:48 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) Can't even reach to 5 titles for this '95 year.

It has become one of my favorite Danny Elfman scores.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2011 - 8:56 PM     By:   Merkel   (Member) 1 - Nixon (Williams) 2 - Batman Forever (Goldenthal) 3 - First Knight (Goldsmith) 4 - Sabrina (Williams) 5 - Pocahontas (Menken)    Posted:   Nov 23, 2011 - 9:32 PM     By:   jkannry   (Member) Apollo 13 Waterworld Powder First Knight The Postman Runners up Across Sea Of Time Under seige 2 Lawnmower man 2    Posted:   Nov 24, 2011 - 3:27 AM     By:   ToneRow   (Member) What do you think of Dolores Claiborne? It has become one of my favorite Danny Elfman scores. I've owned the short soundtrack for DOLORES CLAIBORNE since it came out in 1995. Overall, I like Danny Elfman's soundtracks, but DOLORES CLAIBORNE has never been a favorite of mine. I wouldn't deem it to be Top 5 material.    Posted:   Nov 24, 2011 - 4:06 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) What do you think of Dolores Claiborne? It has become one of my favorite Danny Elfman scores.

I wouldn't deem it to be Top 5 material. I think it's a superb score written mostly for strings. The kind of slightly dissonant, yet at the same time melancholic mood he conjures up. It makes up for at least 50% of the bleak atmosphere in that film.    Posted:   Dec 2, 2011 - 6:51 AM     By:   SBD   (Member) BATMAN FOREVER (Goldenthal) CASPER (Horner) DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT (Mann) DR.

Babe (Westlake) 2. To Die For (Elfman) 3. Batman Forever (Goldenthal) 4. Toy Story (Newman) 5. Dolores Claiborne (Elfman) And since I bothered ranking them for myself, the rest of the scores from '05 that I'm familiar with... 6. Twelve Monkeys (Buckmaster) 7. Pocahontas (Menken) 8. Braveheart (Horner) 9. Sabrina (Williams) 10. Nixon (Williams) 11. Nick of Time (Rubenstein) 12. Apollo 13 (Horner) 13. Die Hard With A Vengeance (Kamen) 14.

Both would fall between 13 and 14 on my list.    Posted:   Dec 2, 2011 - 1:39 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) BATMAN FOREVER (Goldenthal) CASPER (Horner) DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT (Mann) DR.

You're disqualified too!    Posted:   Dec 3, 2011 - 7:45 PM     By:   SBD   (Member) I find it hilarious that, with more important things going on like DIE HARD selling out again and Family Dollar (of all places) carrying Varese goldmines, people can still get up in arms about lists of ten scores in threads where the (suggested) limit is five.    Posted:   Dec 3, 2011 - 8:13 PM     By:   Timmer   (Member) I find it hilarious that, with more important things going on like DIE HARD selling out again and Family Dollar (of all places) carrying Varese goldmines, people can still get up in arms about lists of ten scores in threads where the (suggested) limit is five.
