I never really could apreciate Zimmerīs music very much, but one that I do find very good is...hmmm...I canīt remember. Itīs that one, where Michael Keaton plays a total psycho who tries to ruin this young couples life, by taking over their new hous. Can anyone tell me the name of that one?SFT

SFT,the film was "Pacific Heights". My favourite is "The Peacemaker" but I'm starting to get into "The Thin Red Line" and "Crimson Tide". Gae NP "The House of Frankenstein"(Hans Salter). P.S. If any of you like old Horror film music buy this...it's really atmospheric!

Gae, you're actutally listening to good old Hans Salter? That's great! In my hands I hold the Marco Polo CD "The Wolf Man etc." - I'll listen to it laster that night...Regarding Hans Zimmer: "Beyond Rangoon" is a great meditative score, "K2" and "Broken Arrow" is a fun action scores, and I like the animation stuff ("Lion King", "Prince of Egypt") too.

My favorites are THE ROCK and BROKEN ARROW, but I think that a great score that not that many people talk about is THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. It was composed by Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams. It is a fantastic romantic score, I just wished I could find the movie at my local video store.Audacity

The score that I adore most from Zimmer is definitely Days of Thunder but sad to say that it is not released... Those released that I like are The Lion King, Drop Zone, and The Rock. I am planning to get the other Zimmer scores such as Crimson Tide, The Peacemaker and The Thin Red Line.

I'm not much of a fan in of his action scores, but I love both The Lion King and Prince of Egypt. There are parts of Crimson Tide I like a lot, too.Although I've heard precious little of it, I may get Beyond Rangoon soon, I've liked what I've heard so far.

I'm not a huge fan of Zimmer myself, but I must say that I do really like The Thin Red Line. Wonderful stuff, & thankfully not too heavy on the synths.
