One of the best love stories ever made and a great musical score from Legrand.    Posted:   Nov 25, 2011 - 5:42 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) NO 92- LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD-71-Piero Piccioni, lovely main theme mixed with solid action cues makes this a top winner for me, That theme is pure beauty in musical form.    Posted:   Nov 26, 2011 - 4:42 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) NO 91-10-79-- Henry Mancini's best song and non vocal score, we have the classic melodic ""It's easy to say", the pretty, "He is no more then a man", the beautiful theme when Bo and Dudley first talk, the very catchy Mexican dance number etc etc,a winning score for a winning movie, In a way it was Henry's last real score of that type as the film industry change, the type of score he started way back in the early 60's.    Posted:   Nov 27, 2011 - 6:39 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) NO-90- A BRIDGE TOO FAR-77-Likely my favorite war film score of all time, John Addison delivers a fantastic score with a great addictive march which is what a march is suppose to do, end credit piece is pure gold.Film might be considered overblown not this great score.    Posted:   Nov 27, 2011 - 6:53 PM     By:   MMM   (Member) I would have put A BRIDGE TOO FAR at 91 or 89, but NEVER at 90! What were you thinking???? Seriously, good to see LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD on the list. Almost nobody I know has heard the music, and the main theme is possibly one of the ten loveliest I've ever heard, a masterpiece at building slowly and methodically and paying off big-time. If I could write one theme as brilliant as this I could die a happy man.    Posted:   Nov 27, 2011 - 7:23 PM     By:   shureman   (Member) Seriously, good to see LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD on the list.

The expanded GDM CD is an absolute treasure.    Posted:   Nov 27, 2011 - 9:45 PM     By:   MMM   (Member) I have both the expanded score and the original release, and would be happy to sell the original to a happy buyer!    Posted:   Nov 28, 2011 - 6:31 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) NO 89-THE FAR PAVILLIONS-84-Great majestic lofty score by Carl Davis helps film along in grand manner, Carl has always been a dependable and fine film composer.    Posted:   Nov 29, 2011 - 7:35 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) NO 88-THE LONG DUEL-67-Always enjoyed this nice John Scott score, with good action cues and a wonderful melodic main theme that is hard to forget. MR Scott is another fine film composer who very seldom fails to delivered a positive score.    Posted:   Nov 30, 2011 - 6:38 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) 87-THE TOWERING INFERNO-74-John William's score that delivers it all, stirring opening credit theme , great mood cues, pretty themes and a grand end credits overture which covers it all, 4 star all the way.    Posted:   Nov 30, 2011 - 6:54 PM     By:   Gary S.   (Member) 87-THE TOWERING INFERNO-74-John William's score that delivers it all, stirring opening credit theme , great mood cues, pretty themes and a grand end credits overture which covers it all, 4 star all the way.

Jack Nitzsche main melody has such a beautiful melodic twist to it, that it is a instant classic to me.one of the great themes.    Posted:   Dec 5, 2011 - 11:33 AM     By:   dan the man   (Member) NO-83-GODZILLA-54-What a score from Akira Ifukube, Solid marches, great mood cues, wonderful sad hynm at conclusion, lifts this moderate film to higher heights which is what a good film score can do.     General Discussion: Dan the man, 100 best?    << < 1 2 3 4  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7
