4. The Last of the Mohicans

[hlthe2b]

9. Last of the Mohicans was a favorite of mine too

after that, just about anything by John Barry (Bond movies, Dances with Wolves, Out of African, Midnight Cowboy, Body Heat, Chaplin, Born Free, Somewhere in Time, the Cotton Club, and on and on... )

after that, just about anything by John Lunn (does mainly British movies and BBC serials)


I just love soaring musical orchestral scores...

[Cicada]

5. Blade Runner

The combination of the music and the images is achingly beautiful. I met a woman, an aspiring actress, a few years after the movie who shared my reaction. She told me that after the movie came out she was working as a temp when she walked past Ridley Scott’s office, I think at Universal. Having never seen him or a photo of him she left a note for him. I will marry you. She was serious.

Achingly beautiful.

Disney's Sleeping Beauty (used a lot of the ballet music)

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

41. Here's Mine : Miodnight Express

From the movie "Midnight Express" I present Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase" which won the Academy Award for best score in 1978.

The driving beat perfectly captures the atmosphere of Billy Hays running through the streets of Istanbul, as he tries to evade the Turkish police.

[First Speaker]

42. John Williams' soundtrack for the TV version of Jane Eyre...

...it starred Susannah York and George C Scott, and the film really wasn't all that much compared to the Joan Fontaine/Orson Welles version. (Even though the TV version was actually filmed on location in Yorkshire, the Hollywood version looked more like the real thing. Figure it out.) But Williams' score is just hauntingly beautiful, surpassing--in my view--anything he did later in his years of superstardom. Bernard Herrmann's score for Vertigo is maybe one whisker behind in second.

[Skittles]

45. Body Heat

the amazing John Barry
