that disappearance of Titanic

 

Mohicans, ET, Batman, Chinatown, Social Network, Episode 1, and Gladiator are all lower on the 2015 Countdown than Titanic.

 

 

Terminator dropped off the List entirely

[ShouldIBeHere]

Titanic not in the TOP 25 is unforgiveable.

 

Pretty good list otherwise.

 

Thanks for doing this.

Pretty good list and one of the few occasions I can stomach Star Wars winning something as the music is great (although I would have preferred Indy).

 

There's almost nothing that stands out to me as not deserving its place on the list (well apart from Interstellar, but I am just going to have to accept that that film will be on every list about anything it is eligible for for the forseeable future.)

 

Overall well done though

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Great list and thanks for all the work Numbers.

 

While the top ten is freaking awesome, personally, I feel some scores are criminally low:

 

Star Trek II

E.T.

Batman Begins

Spider-Man(Admittedly biased)

 

Some omissions of note to me:

 

The Dark Knight(Rises made the list but not this????)

Braveheart

No Ottman scores at all(X2?, DOFP?)

Amazing Spider-Man by Horner(Again, I admit my bias here)

Batman Returns

Krull by Horner(One of his best works, IMO)

The Shadow(one of Goldsmith's best, IMO)

The Rocketeer

Independence Day

Casino Royale

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Die Hard

Lethal Weapon(Actually no Kamen on the list at all)

Aladdin

The Matrix(Tron Legacy but not this???)

 

EDIT: Not enough John Barry.

 

Dances with Wolves

Chaplin

On Her Majesty's Secret Service(Better than Goldfinger, IMO)

The Living Daylights(underrated)

Born Free

I really wish I had not been partially frozen for months and taken part in this. Film scores are one of my passions. I used to own like 150+ scores on cassette back in the day and spent good $$$ for the rarer ones at conventions. There was a time I used to look at who did the score before I even looked at what the film was about or who it starred. My obsession has waned a bit in recent years, but I still love listening to movie music(especially when I'm writing).
