Because of the tragic and untimely death of James Horner, I was drawn to revisit some of his work this week. Two of his finest accomplishments (IN my never-to-be-humble opinion) were the scores for FIELD OF DREAMS (1989) and SNEAKERS (1992).
These are not only two of my favorite film scores, these are two of my all-time favorite movies, and they were both created by Phil Alden Robinson.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that the man who created these two, practically iconic films, has disappeared?

You might also wonder why directors like Nicholas Meyer or George "Mad Max" Miller oder Chuck Russell don't work more than they do.
Hollywood wants young people, because they're supposedly more in tune with the pimple-faced pizza crowd that makes up for 80% of today's audiences.

Trekfan, Thank you so, so much for posting that amazing interview with Phil! I have not seen "The Angriest Man In… Brooklyn? The World? But the interview made me want to watch it, even in spite of the negative reaction that you experienced.
I'm just so glad to know that Phil Alden Robinson is still working in the industry, and that gives me hope that he will once again create a piece of art that I will love.
Sadly, James Horner will not be able to participate...

) and I see from Mr. Robinson's relatively short IMDb listing, there is also The Sum of All Fears which is enjoyable albeit far from the that of Field of Dreams and Sneakers.
