...StarShip Troopers, which I think of as one of the most perfect scores ever written -- it serves the double or rather triple layers in the film so darn well.
Exactly! I remain in awe of what a perfect score Poledouris wrote for a film as tricky as Starship Troopers. Too heavy on the satire or too heavy on the gravitas and the music might have made a farce of what Starship Troopers was aiming to be. Somehow, Poledouris managed to strike just the perfect note.
And yet I still wonder what Goldsmith would have done with Starship Troopers
Anyway my fave collaborations:
Elfman/Burton
Burwell/Coens
Serra/Besson
Goldsmith/Verhoeven
Goldenthal/Jordan

A more interesting question is, do such collaborations help or hinder creativity?
People get typecast.... which negates their versatility.
Also, obviously a director may have a good working relationship with a particular artist, BUT does that preclude the chances of other, newer composers getting a chance? It's a question.
The director who uses the same composer in many projects is singing the song of verstility, admitting that one composer can do many things. So far so good, a blow against typecasting. But on the other hand, such a director does limit the chances on any one project, maybe typecasting himSELF. .
I'm going to say Rozsa and Wilder just because no-one else has. I'm not entirely convinced it's an artistic decision nowadays.
