Gladiator without a doubt. With M99 on Hans Zimmer. Goat composer.

LOTR Trilogy's soundtrack was also excellent.

by Forza Mon Mar 09, 2015 1:26 am

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of my favourites.
The Untouchables is also good.
Any of the Indiana Jones series (except the 4th one) and the Dirty Harry series.
Ocean's 11 (the re-make) also has a really suave soundtrack by David Holmes - the theme song in particular.

Hans Zimmer's best is still Lion King imo though. That is a masterpiece. One of my favourite films ever.

Calling Zimmer the GOAT, as much as I love him, I can't really get behind in any way. John Williams is pretty much the overall GOAT, 49 academy nominations is pretty tough to get around.

Shoutout to Morricone. Ross and Reznor will be some of the greats if they keep this up.

Danny Elfman, anyone?

His collaboration with Tim Burton is so well known, but he really is a fantastic composer in his own right. My favorites for him have to be Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish. Wistful is probably the word I often think about when it comes to the scores for those flicks.

If someone mentions a LoTR reference in any line, I suddenly get the urge to watch all 6 movies now days. Its my favorite of all time.

The soundtrack is obviously amazing as well.

Not better than Glory or Malcolm X imho, though it's very good.
Such a GOAT.

Wanna do a A-Z marathon.
Anyone got good suggestions for X and Z, atm I'm stuck with X-Men: Last stand (only X-men film, bar The Wolverine, I haven't seen) and The Zero Theorem. hmm

by Kaladin Tue Mar 10, 2015 11:36 am

Did you watch Zodiac? If not then watch it

by Freeza Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:54 pm

This film looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait.

by RealGunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 8:38 pm

That looks amazing. Disney and Pixar working together?

by Freeza Tue Mar 10, 2015 8:41 pm

Just Pixar I think, the guy who made Monster's Inc and Up making it. Seems like it's finally back to form since their 5 year slump.

100% chance it'll make me cry

by RealGunner Tue Mar 10, 2015 9:02 pm

Definitely will lol.

Speaking of which, going to watch Big Hero 6 this week. Sudden plan but should be worth it.

Yeah already seen it.

by RedOranje Tue Mar 10, 2015 11:10 pm

Well, Sony's found its next cash-cow franchise to replace Spider-man when they inevitably lose all control over the property. 2 Ghostbuster movies apparently getting going AND an entire department being created to find new ways to "expand the universe" (i.e. expand the revenue options) beyond film.

by McAgger Wed Mar 11, 2015 3:27 am

RG, I saw Big Hero 6 3 days ago. AMAZING. :bow:

by El Gunner Thu Mar 12, 2015 8:48 pm

Edward Norton in Primal Fear :bow:

Has to be a lock in everyone's Top 3 Norton performances of all time. The exact position can be debated on, but top 3 no doubt.

by RealGunner Thu Mar 12, 2015 9:09 pm

Back from Big Hero 6

Was quite good. Fairly predictable but it was aimed at kids so it was allowed. But very very entertaining. Great animation and music was amazing. Voice acting as good as Disney usually do.

Can definitely see a sequel.

7/10

by M99 Thu Mar 12, 2015 9:20 pm

Speaking of sequels, what are the sequels you really want to see but they have not been announced yet or won't even be released at all? For me nothing beats these two.

The Real RockNRolla
District 10
