Author	Topic: John Powell what should I have for my collection?

Vladimir Standard Userer	I have discovered that John Powell is in my mind one of the best composers today. However all I have in my collection from John Powell is Italian Job and Bourne Supremacy. What am I missing. I have on my list to pick up Chicken Run Mr and Mrs Smith Shreck 1-2 Paycheck Evolution Antz What else??????? Thanks

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Chicken Run is outstanding. Pretty much the only good thing I've heard by him though. NP: The Lord of the Rings (Leonard Rosenman)

Thanks If you have The Bourne Supremacy I recommend that you check out his score to the first film; why not quite as good and a little less dark, it is still a solid effort and a must for Powell fans. I've found that Robots grew on me throughout the summer and it is near Chicken Run as his best release, IMO. Check out Face/Off to understand what he put into the score; the album isn't well produced, but its effect in the film is remarkable for a first-time composer. I haven't gotten a hold of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith score but I've heard its a good cross between Paycheck and the Bourne scores.

John C Winfrey Standard Userer	Hes pretty good, but the theme in Shrek for the scene at the end sounds just like the music in Deep Blue Sea, from shortly before.

craig Standard Userer	As far as action scores go, FACE/OFF is one of my favorites.

SBD Standard Userer	For John Powell, PAYCHECK should be at the very top of your list. Superlative score.

rkeaveney Standard Userer	Hands down Powell's most entertaining score is THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH. Insanely catchy theme. Ryan

Ryan Alright, I gotta ask... did you actually see that movie? Is that where the $8 it made came from? Clayton NP>Face/Off (still one of my all time favorite action scores)

Lancelot Standard Userer	Perhaps a little-mentioned score worth giving a chance is Endurance. Just Visiting is fun, and has a few highly infectious themes. (How do you come by Pluto Nash??)
