Lee Oscar® Winner	David Newman's Anastasia finale. Mission to Mars still gets me everytime and Ever After by George Fenton. Damn good stuff if you ask me.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	I need to check all these out. I have Dark City and the closing track is intense! I didn't know this, but I have the soundtrack to ET on an old record. That's kinda funny! Now I need to put it on CD. Clayton NP The Lost World - John Williams (AWESOME PACKAGE DESIGN!)

Hasta Oscar® Winner	While probably not THE most dramatic ending, I wholeheartedly agree with THE FAMILY MAN...

JEC Oscar® Winner	The grand timpani finale to Zulu, which for some unknown reason, is almost entirely missing from the Raine version.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	How many of you enjoyed the score to The Family Man and would like to see Elfman do more scores like that??? I know I would! Clayton

strupie Oscar® Nominee	My absolute favorite ending is the one in Bravehearts' execution scene (very emotional)... heck, the whole score is great!

Ken S Oscar® Winner	Don't pay attention to this message. It's just an attempt to get the rest of the replies to show themselves - 'til this day I can see only half of them.

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	The ending to Backdraft

Ken S Oscar® Winner	Oh, now I g o t i t to work Hey LEE, if You liked the finales from "Anastasia" and "Ever After", I presume that You would like also the finale from Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" - it has churchbells a thousand times better than "Ever After" and a very noble & enchanting climax passage. Just be sure to listen it from Disney Records "Classic Soundtrack Series" (the last release) because it is the complete version - from an earlier release they omitted the most magical 7 seconds.

Gae Oscar® Winner	Hey, I cant believe no-one's mentioned "The Throne Room and End Titles" in Star Wars, or is it too obvious?. E.T. of course..the complete "Adventures on Earth" The finale of "Spartacus" with Alex North's Love theme. Close Encounters of course. The end music to "King Kong" and his fall of the Empire State building...(Steiner) Mario Nascimbene's choral rendition of "The Viking's" theme during Douglas' cremation. "The finale and End Titles" from Rozsa's "Eye of the Needle" gets me going every time...although this is ruined on the DVD as the music plays over itself twice!! The closing music in "Jaws" before the "End Titles"...."Smile you son-of-a-bitch". William's majestic and moving "End titles" to "The Towering Inferno" David Arnold's "End Titles" to Independence Day of course. Loads more, but I cant think of them at the moment!! Gae

Lee Oscar® Winner	Thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out when I go on my CD spending spree this Tuesday. 61, The Others and American Outlaws will soon be mine.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	JEC, Zulu final....big thumbs up! Gae, The Vikings final....big thumbs up! Slightly off key but I love Hanson's symphony #2 at the end of Alien!

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	I've thought of another one! Unbreakable by James Newton Howard. Great ending! Clayton

Will Oscar® Winner	Have you guys forgotten Braveheart? "Freedom/The Execution/ Bannockburn" is as dramatic as you can get!
posted 08-06-2001 03:37 AM PT (US)

Timmer Oscar® Winner	No! I haven't forgotten that fine fantasy film BRAVEHEART, despite it's knockers I love Horner's score to this, though those final scenes are cringe inducing!
posted 08-06-2001 05:40 AM PT (US)

SBD Oscar® Winner	For me, definitely "This is the One" from ED WOOD (in the weeks since I've gotten it, I've become hooked on this score). Runner-up: "The Aftermath" from STREET FIGHTER
posted 08-06-2001 06:09 AM PT (US)

Timmer Oscar® Winner	...and before I forget has anyone mentioned the End Title from Silvestri's PREDATOR 2, does this one belt out a shyt kicking finale OR WHAT?! frigging eck!!
posted 08-06-2001 10:19 AM PT (US)

Ken S Oscar® Winner	TIMMER'S RIGHT !!! How COULD I forget PREDATOR 2 - it's magnificent! May I also suggest John Williams' enchanting "End Title" music from THE AMAZING STORIES - it closes Varese Sarabande's CD (World Premiere Recording)... In my opinion the "End Title" is Williams' most magical and soaring piece of music and the perfect ending for all the TV episodes.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	Although this hasn't been getting posts lately, I thought of another score! American History X by Anne Duddley. Benedictus is soooooo dramatic! Clayton

posted 08-14-2001 01:42 AM PT (US)

Dr. Zaius Oscar® Winner	What the Brits did to the Scots is akin to the GENOCIDES we see occurring in Europe and Africa throughout the past 60 years. The history of their criminal behaviour in Scotland is truely horrific.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	...And can any of you name a 'progressive' country without blood on it's hands?! Big Bear, I'm not bitter about Braveheart, I quite enjoyed the film though did find the ending cringe inducing, my 'fantasy' comment was very tongue in cheek though I do get narked when supposedly historical drama's become 90's revisionist overhauls! I'll leave it at that before I start sounding like my neighbor D2 (not that I could...I have the typing speed of a tortoise, it would take me till next week to do a D2 like posting ) I know 3 Scottish gentlemen, all of whom thought Braveheart was hilarious (not least for Mel Gibson's accent), all said (in differing ways) good battle scenes, crap film! ...and Wallace and the Princess? fantasy or what! p.s. little known fact about Timmer...I'm related on my Mother's side to Robert Burns...TRUE!!

Big Bear unregistered	I did not mean to offend, Timmer. It would seem that you and I feel much the same way about Braveheart.

HAL 2000 Oscar® Winner	Shadows of the Empire. The last 30 seconds of Destruction of Xizor's Palace. Sublime.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Dr.Zaius, Are you Scottish? ...and do YOU know 3 Highlanders? ...and tell me your proof of genocide on the Scottish perpertrated by the English?!

Dana Wilcox Oscar® Winner	I can't believe no one has mentioned three of the most effective end title sequences in the history of the business: Miracle & Finale - Ben-Hur Farewell My Life, My Love - Spartacus Summer's End (AKA End Title) - To Kill A Mockingbird
posted 08-14-2001 06:15 PM PT (US)

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	I think that Pearl Harbor's Heart Of A Volunteer and Gladiator's Now We Are Free were pretty dramatic. Not quite as dramatic as others, but still dramatic. Clayton
