acsc1312 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 As far as "soundtracks" go, Forrest Gump and Boogie Nights hit the top of the list right away. Oh, and pretty much any Scorcese movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 When it comes to television you can't go better than Giacchino's work for Lost, though Bear McCreary's work for Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica comes hella close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashrendar44 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I got so many favourite scores but Danny Elfman always had the softest spot for me. There are many better composers but what I admire is the fact that he is an autodidact and yet composed so many iconic classical scores that got great melodies, thematical works and thrilling orchestrations (thanks to Steve Bartek and Shirley Walker talents) honouring Hollywood orchestral score tradition without dumbing it down to droning noise like RCP/MV. He embodies classical and modern, intimacy and bombastic heroism, delicate arrangements and thundering percussions/brass, daring wacky harmonies and romantic ambiance all at the same time, like blending Tchaikowsky, Herrmann and circus music in a shaker for a very recognizable result (his use of children/women choirs). He is my model and holds a special place in my movie scores loving heart. I mean, how could you not feel chills down your spine during the finale of this piece: James Horner can suck it. He got nothing on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when people say things like that. As if Horner was against Elfman's score or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
