ALRIGHT JAKE ONCE AGAIN! This did win BEST O. SCORE, many since think the unnommed THE BIG COUNTRY or especially VERTIGO deserved it instead though

WOW, I just remembered, how come they don't also try & remake this one yet???

THERE YA' GO! Used to go to this-(only a buck then) just about everyday as a kid & JAWS
Most critics always rank AIRPORT (l970) the finest disaster epic of the '70's, but I barely like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (l972) mainly due to HACKMAN'S dynamic performance!
as kids-(10 or so) we even used to act out the scenes from TI

Gee, Jake, wonder why you picked this good one Another example of people today being so shortsided about anything & I despise this word BEFORE MY TIME!
This girl thought I meant the Pierce Brosnan rehash when I asked of she ever saw this movie, DUH

In an interview I saw SPIELBERG'S own A #1 is VERTIGO_(B. Herrmann) & J. WILLIAMS chose ON THE WATERFRONT, had forgotten I think WILLIAMS included HIGH NOON'S famous scoring just under VERTIGO STEVEN looked surprised

How could I forget another ENNIO tremendous score 1987's THE UNTOUCHABLES as a request

Agreed. It was also sort of a break out role for Gary Oldman; don't recall seeing it on t.v. at Halloween or any other time
It's been on cable a lot since, especially HBO, but left unspoken ALWAYS on HALLOWEEN & SCARY MOVIES?
-
Though not in my personal top 10, can you get your hands on ROCKY?
& of course ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST & AMERICA both?
Ennio Morricone is 92 now

JakeHolman superbly supplied a ton of clips/scores in a topic I started quite awhile back GREATEST BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS & your doing the same with these scores in a way THANKS

You must be a Jerry Goldsmith fan. 😁 He is my favorite. The Mummy has a great soundtrack. I hear bits of The 13th Warrior, another Goldsmith.
Of all his tons of scores Goldsmith only took home one Academy Award for THE OMEN (l976) upsetting ROCKY in the process Same with ELMER BERNSTEIN, even more-so, he goes further back & of all his works only won for of all things THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE?
Alex North never won?

(***1/2 very good) & took home 3 Oscars for it's costumes, sound effects and make-up Strange thing is not 1 show or online ever mentions this for HALLOWEEN movies?

We forgot 2010: A SPACE ODYSSEY (l984) pretty good & didn't appear to be just HOLLYWOOD $greed$
-
Ebert & Siskel used to get so ****/angry at these remakes & that was the '80's & ;90's vs thesedays.
Siskel used to joke & say they now will have to show wat Rhett Butler did after leaving & walking away in GWTW

Now-(despite the stupid & out of place huge storm at it's climax) Scorsese's l991 hit CAPE FEAR was very strong, but almost blew it For yrs they had that boat at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS down here in 0rlando
Hollywood/The Academy only nommed it twice though for DE NIRO & J. LEWIS, it's cinematography shoulda been in there It did hit $78m. I saw it with a pack & screaming audience
& THAT TREMENDOUS SCORE, adapted by E. Bernstein from B. Herrmann's
Sound sooo much like HITCHCOCK

I also dislike the last sequence of the 1955 version. In fact I wish Lillian Gish's character was not in it at all. It feels like a phony tacked on ending to satisfy the production code, when I think it should have had a much darker, bleaker ending. It's a film that should clearly spell out what happens when children are not adequately provided for...
They were thinking on JANE DARWELL, but wanted a little lady instead vs him

surprised they haven't also gave EASY RIDER a whack yet, among many? Only reason they aren't really jumping on the Western remake arena is because they don't seem to make $$$$ in this era???
Magnificent Seven a couple yrs ago was flat (**) but hit $90m.
& they obviously did do TRUE GRIT, which not as fun as WAYNE'S Oscar winner, I think exceptional It snagged about ten nods & made about $180m as well
-
Color of Money (l986) ($52m.) (***1/2) was another really strong remake
Favorite film soundtracks or film songs

went to this too, like the superior GETTYSBURG in '93 Not nearly as memorable in my view, but still worth seeing You'd think one of the worlds best living actors ROBERT DUVALL woulda been perfect a Gen. lee, but fell & broke ribs during filming & doesn't seem into it On the contrary MAERTIN SHEEN was perfect as Lee
There was a third book LAST FULL MEASURE
