Runners-up: "Going To Mexico" from THELMA AND LOUISE "Light" from THE THIN RED LINE "9am Central Park" from GREEN CARD The credit for Thelma & Louise belongs to the amazing guitarist Pete Hancock. Pete Haycock is even more amazing.    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 8:38 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Another vote for "Part II" from PACIFIC HEIGHTS, especially the middle section.

Is that from a bootleg?    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 1:13 PM     By:   David Kessler   (Member) BURN IT ALL from Backdraft is his best followed by Nick & Masa from Black Rain Journey to the Line from A Thin Red Line Hate from Point of No Return The Descision from Thelma & Louise    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 4:07 PM     By:   Koray Savas   (Member) "The Battle" (Gladiator) is one of my favorites, but many come to mind. "The Kraken" (Pirates 2), almost everything from The Rock, "Leave No Man Behind" (Black Hawk Down), etc. Hard to pick one... The Rock was mostly Nick Glennie-Smith. Yes, but the main theme - the most memorable segment - was all Zimmer's. Glennie-Smith wrote all the themes. He was having trouble with the score, so they brought in Hans Zimmer to help him out.    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 4:43 PM     By:   rollon1959   (Member) I'm not a big Zimmer fan but I really like 'The Battle' from Gladiator. I agree. Zimmer tends to attract a good deal of negativity, but " The Battle " is a stirring and powerful cue, which I listen to on a fairly frequent basis. I also like " Fort Walton - Kansas " from The Rock, which is one of those cues ( 1.37 ) which I would love to have seen extended in the score. Not sure if it was Zimmer or Gregson Williams that was responsible for that cue?    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 4:45 PM     By:   jamesluckard   (Member) The cue when THELMA & LOUISE look from their car to the old women, sitting bored behind a window, and see the future they don't want. Their main theme plays mournfully on electric guitar. It still gives me chills. It's the first half of "The Robbery" on the version that, of course, none of us owns.    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 4:53 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Glennie-Smith wrote all the themes. He was having trouble with the score, so they brought in Hans Zimmer to help him out. That's not what I heard. I seem to remember an interview where Zimmer himself says that he did the main theme. Besides, Gregson-Williams wrote a theme too, let's not forget that.    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 4:53 PM     By:   Koray Savas   (Member) I also like " Fort Walton - Kansas " from The Rock, which is one of those cues ( 1.37 ) which I would love to have seen extended in the score.

Runners-up: "Going To Mexico" from THELMA AND LOUISE "Light" from THE THIN RED LINE "9am Central Park" from GREEN CARD Going To Mexico? Is that from a bootleg? Mea culpa! I meant to call it the "Main Title" from THELMA AND LOUISE, featured on the Prague Philharmonic collection: http://www.amazon.com/Film-Music-Hans-Zimmer/dp/B000PAU032/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1254185721&sr=1-1 This is a terrific rendering of the main theme, by the way; arguably more satisfying than the version heard in the film's opening credits, because it repeats that wonderful moody melody at least three times. The other tracks people have mentioned here are also wonderful. THELMA AND LOUISE is my favourite Hans Zimmer score. I can certainly see how people would 'credit' Pete Haycock for the score track on the MCA release ("Thunderbird") because it consists mostly of guitar solo, but surely Zimmer deserves the credit for the wonderful melodies elsewhere in the score? Or is there something I don't know about the way this score was written? Please inform if so.    Posted:   Sep 28, 2009 - 7:19 PM     By:   Koray Savas   (Member) Just because the guy performed guitar on the score doesn't mean he wrote it.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 4:01 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Regarding THE ROCK, I found one of the interview quotes here at FSM: B: So how much of you is in The Rock which has a mishmash of music credits? Z: The main theme is mine, as are a few other bits. It's really hard to tell. I do have a huge influence in there. But I never really wanted to write any of it. It was always supposed to be Nick Glennie-Smith's score. From http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/features/zimmer.asp    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 4:26 AM     By:   Kakihara   (Member) There is a really fun interview in FSM Vol 2 Nr 7 (sept 1997) where Zimmer says: "I just want to say, catigorically, the CD of The Rock stinks.... The Rock wasn't supposed to be my movie. It was Nick's movie and Jerry Bruckheimer didn't like the tunes.... I came in and wrote - I was the ghostwriter! I wrote some tunes for it which kind of became the main themes. I said I don't want credit on this, this has nothing to do with me, this is not my movie. And then Nick phoned his agent and said he couldn't have his name in the opening credits over a piece of music that I had written, so would Schwartz insist that I take this credit... I wrote two tunes for it, and they happened to play them a lot..." Zimmer was suprisingly honest in this interview, he also bashes his own music in Days of Thunder and Broken Arrow.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 4:34 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Yeah, Zimmer is always a treat in interviews!    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 4:55 AM     By:   gajjy1   (Member) Roll Tide from Crimson Tide.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 5:17 AM     By:   EvilDead   (Member) "The Battle" (Gladiator) is one of my favorites, but many come to mind.

Your answer is there.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 5:59 AM     By:   mastadge   (Member) Interestingly, if you listen to Glennie-Smith's THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK, the theme is almost identical to that of THE ROCK. Anyone know why he did that?    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 6:19 AM     By:   Willgoldnewtonbarrygrusin   (Member) "A Cold Day in NY" from "Regarding Henry" - one of my favorite Zimmer scores.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2009 - 6:29 AM     By:   Misanthropic Tendencies   (Member) The shortest, most quiet one.     General Discussion: Favourite Hans Zimmer cue?    << < 1 2 3 4 5  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5   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
