Author	Topic: Your Top Two Scores

Ben Penserga Oscar® Winner	If you're stuck on an island and you had two scores/soundtracks, what would they be? (I know, it's corny, but I want to know.) My two would be "The Rock" and "Out of Sight". The second isn't the traditional kind of score, but it has some really funky grooves.

S Smith unregistered	Great question but TOUGH! I guess I'd say "Star Wars (New Hope)" and my Phoenix Symphony recording of "Magnificent Seven."

Audacity Oscar® Winner	Wow, only two. Would they have to be on LP? The reason I ask is because I could believe that The Professor could make a record player but I think the laser part would give him to much trouble if he tried to build a CD player. Seriously though, they would have to be WATERWORLD and Merlin. Or maybe my second would by the soundtrack to SWINGERS so me and Mary Ann could swing-dance to it. Audacity N.P.

Ed Coleman Oscar® Winner	Very tough choice, I guess I would take: Merlin - Trevor Jones Dragonheart - Randy Edelman Lionheart - Jerry Goldsmith I know, I know,,,I can't count. NP - Heaven and Earth, Kitaro

Kevin Oscar® Winner	Actually I'd skip the Professor and make sure MacGyver was on the boat. That way you'd have a multi-disc CD changer. I'd probably have to choose ET and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Kevin NP - (?)

LesterMoos unregistered	I don't think it was a corny question at all Ben. If I could only choose two they would have to be Empire of the Sun, and Dangerous Beauty.

Brue Oscar® Nominee	If I could only pick two I think I would have to go with "The Mission" and "Braveheart"...

Ben Penserga Oscar® Winner	I wasn't really going for the Gilligan's theme (I was thinking the generic-type) but if you want to change it up: happy island -"Out of Sight" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas (good for any time of the year) generic island-"Out of Sight" and "The Rock" Lord of the Flies island-"The Rock" and "Mission:Impossible"

S Smith unregistered	Wow. There are some really varied selections here. It's good to see. Brue: Good one. I totally forgot about "The Mission." That's a great score.

Dan Brecher Oscar® Winner	Does it have to be 2? Arghhhh, Phantom Menace and Scindlers List probably then....arghhhh, 2 is too few, I have sooo many more! Dan (UK) NP: The Phantom Meance (yes, again)

kyle42 Oscar® Winner	The Omen and Psycho although it is impossible to choose just two... NP: Meet Joe Black (Thomas Newman)
posted 05-03-1999 10:38 PM PT (US)

S Smith unregistered	Wait a minute Kyle. You're stuck on an island (the original question) and you're bringing "Omen" and "Psycho?" That just screams for a murder scene around the campfire on the beach.
posted 05-03-1999 11:19 PM PT (US)

Ben Penserga Oscar® Winner	The Omen and Psycho might be OK for the "Lord Of The Flies" island.

LesterMoos unregistered	I wouldn't want to be left on the Island with kyle. Sorry kyle.

kyle42 Oscar® Winner	Hmmm. I never realized that the question asked if you were stuck on an island (just kidding, although I am a fan of The Lord of the Flies). Actually, to tell you the truth I don't really have two favorite scores, they are all very good. I buy a lot of scores but only after I have heard some of it. One of the best I have bought from recent years is The Usual Suspects. About every track on that CD has a new theme that is pretty original. Ottoman has a lot of energy and spark that a lot of composers are running out of today. NP- Meet Joe Black (Thomas Newman)

BOND unregistered	hmmm.. my two favorites would have to be the PREDATOR promo by Alan Silvestri, and The Specialist by John Barry

Davidh unregistered	My favorites are best without their respective films: Dragonslayer by Alex North -- the most vivid and sophisticated orchestral music written for a film (and a pretty awful film at that). Jane Eyre by John Williams -- perhaps the most beautiful music written for a film.

Maestro Sartori Oscar® Winner	My God, why does it always have to be just two???!!! I honestly can't narrow it down to just two. My choices would be between Superman, The Star Wars Saga, and the Mask of Zorro. NP: The Phantom Menace (Passage Through the Planet Core) [This message has been edited by Maestro Sartori (edited 05-13-99).]

Ted Oscar® Winner	Braveheart and Total Recall, for they art awesome in so many ways NP: Phantom Menace

TimT Oscar® Winner	I'd bring Cutthroat Island and Merlin or Cutthroat Island and Amazon
posted 05-13-1999 05:42 PM PT (US)

Ben Penserga Oscar® Winner	TimT-Cutthroat Island, eh? How appropriate.
