Author	Topic: Scenes you're dying to see just because of the music

Camillu Standard Userer	There are a large number of films I haven't watched but whose scores I know very well. Loving a score doesn't necessarily make me want to see the film, though I usually eventually do. Some pieces, either because I think they're excellent, or because they're hard to imagine on screen, make me very curious to see the scene in questions. I finally got around to watching The Abyss yesterday. The 'Bud on a ledge' theme has been one of my favourites ever since I got the Cinema Choral Classics compilation in my early days of collecting. And now I can finally put scenes to the music. I had to get through over 2 hours of the film (I watched the special edition, and liked it a lot) but it was worth it. The scene is just as great as the cue. Wading through Mission to Mars to experience the 'Where?' scene was much less fun, but just as rewarding. Others I'm very curious about: The Hanging and Escape from Plunkett & Macleane. Tarawa from Snow Falling on Cedars The Fire from Restoration Charging Fort Wagner from Glory.

Stargate Standard Userer	Sometimes I'm very disappointed when I finally am able to put the music with the picture. The sound is drowned out or cut up into little pieces. I felt that way when I watched five minutes of Van Helsing (which looked terribly stupid). Here are some scenes I wouldn't mind seeing: Lillian's Heart Attack - Brainstorm Theology/Civilization - Conan The Battle - Cutthroat Island The Egg Travels - Dinosaur Riding The Fire Mares - Krull Faith & Courage - Last of the Dogmen Just to name a few.

I haven't seen any of the Star Wars except IV and V!) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - No Ticket Dinosaur - The Egg Travels Pride & Prejudice - Your Hands Are Cold

Camillu Standard Userer	The Egg travels lives up to expectations. It's the opening scene of the film and was the first teaser trailer, so you can probably see it on apple or movie-list. I'm at work but will post a link tomorrow

Camillu Standard Userer	http://www.term-mart.com/dinosaur.mov or on YouTube.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rlrG1_fw1M as promised... here's a link. This was the first teaser trailer, which shows the first 5 and a half minutes of the film. It feautres the first 2 tracks on the album - The Inner Sanctum, and The Egg Travels. Size is quite small though. [Message edited by Camillu on 02-25-2007]

Shaun Rutherford Standard Userer	Say what you will about Horner and Carmina Burana (I still don't think it's a direct steal), but the "Libera Me" part of "Charging Fort Wagner" cue (and scene) choke me up literally every time. I should listen to this again. Goin' to have a good cry, Shaun NP- Booker T. & The MG's - McLemore Avenue (Glory sounds like a great follow-up to this, right? I'll put it under the heading, "Booker T had the right to record this in the first place thanks in part to the 54th Massachusetts")

Theology/Civilization is in my top three all time favorite pieces. It definitely lives up to the music in a beautiful travel montage and the discussion of Theology between people. The Battle is very good too.

Camillu Standard Userer	Is the first half of the track 'That Next Place' from Meet Joe Black a scene in the movie, or is it the end credits? If it's a scene, then I'll add it to my list above.

vdemona Standard Userer	Whenever I listen to the music from these scenes I have to watch the movies again: He is the one - The Matrix The Battle in the Ring - Brotherhood of the Wolf Although it's cheating since I already had these movies on dvd! [Message edited by vdemona on 08-04-2007]

gkgyver Standard Userer	I thought you meant scenes that are in the future. I, for one, am dying to hear Dumbledore's Funeral in Half-Blood Prince. And not least of all because I know that, after hearing OotP, Nicholas Hooper will reach deep down into the old barrell of musical clich�es.

vdemona Standard Userer	If we're talking scores in the future, after having checked out the website for Beowulf by Paramount I'm very interested in Alan Silvestri's score. Especially during the scene when Beowulf meets Grendel's mother in the caves by the underground lake.

Camillu Standard Userer	How about a spoiler alert gkgyver?? And no, I'm referring to films already released, whose scores you have and love, but you haven't watched yet

Tarawa from Snow Falling on Cedars Charging Fort Wagner from Glory.[/B] Escape was underwhelming in execution. Tarawa was very interesting and completely unexpected in term of visual. Fort Wagner was pretty good. I'd say to with this first

AaronR1074 Standard Userer	For the Love of the Princess by James Horner from Braveheart comes to mind the most. It's the montage scene that takes place after the love scene with Sophie Marceu. Probably one of Horner's finest moments.

Camillu Standard Userer	Yesterday I finally sat down to fast-forward to the end scens of Nanny McPhee. I know the film is delightful, charming, etc., but all I wanted to see was how Patrick Doyle's superb 'Snow in August' cue plays out on screen. I wasn't disappointed - it's left intact, heard in all it's glory with minimal sound effects or dialogue, and it certainly makes the scene. Great stuff.

StarlessWinter Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by NeoVoyager: Pride & Prejudice - Your Hands Are Cold Pride & Prejudice is one gorgeously shot film with a surprisingly wonderful performance by Keira Knightley, for whom I otherwise care little. The music doesn't tread any new ground, but it works well throughout the film.
