Stunned there isn't a thread on the man already. Probably my favourite composer in the realm of film scores, with BATMAN RETURNS as the fave.

a G, a B flat, and a D walk into a bar and sit down. the bartender says, "sorry guys -- we don't serve minors here." so the B flat left, and the G and the D shared a fifth.

Georges Delerue wrote such distinctive music for French cinema. I first became aware of him with his scores for "Shoot The Piano Player", "The Joker", "The Five Day Lover" and "Jules and Jim". Later, with his unforgettable score for Philippe de Broca's "That Man From Rio", he really captured my attention. Of course, he did go on to become promiment in international cinema, too - "A Man for All Seasons" and "The...

When we got our first TV, the only studio that was still making films who had released their old (& some weren't that old) films to TV was Monogram. Of course, this included quite a number of westerns (Range Busters, Jack Randall, Tex Ritter, etc.). And, what each of these films had which immediately made them recognizable was their scores.

I'm not sure how big the orchestra was (haven't heard any of this in years), but it wouldn't surprise me if there were less...

Earliest Film Score Memories

feeds@yuku.com (The News Hound) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 14:14:15 GMT

Which were the movies that first made you take notice of film scores and their impact?

For me, it began with sitting in the theater and hearing James Bernard's music in Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, Alex North's opening theme for Airport, Rozsa's gorgeous Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, and the Basil Kirchin score to Dr. Phibes.

Also, on TV, there was the memorable music in The Mummy, The Day the Earth Stood...

I am reluctantly sending off the new CD from TRIBUTE FILM CLASSICS(distributed by
WWW.screenarchives.COM .Not content to bask on their laurels for
FAHRENHEIT 451 and MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, they now have done an amazing job of recreating the amazing and underrated score by Max Steiner.
My suggestion-whenever an album comes out from TRIBUTE FILM CLASSICS- buy it.

Has anyone mentioned the excellent Film Score Monthly restoration of RAINTREE COUNTY yet?

Two discs, over two hours of music from a variety of sources, plus bonus tracks and an in-depth 28-page liner notes booklet.

This is a major release which has inspired no less than four threads on the FSM message boards, one of which (at this posting) has had more than 10,000 hits!

"For the brave who dare!"

Their new SOME CAME RUNNING is also great.

What have you bought lately?

I've quite a few upcoming expenses: everything from doctors, dentists, and our townhome fixing up project.

Feeling as morose as Helen Wright in Humoresque, I couldn't get a certain song out of my head "What is this thing called love?" I tried to resist buying this recording but I succumbed.
