Well, not really. As was alluded to in the other thread, I don't subscribe to the notion of separating between "high art" films and "low art" movies that way. It all depends on how that socalled "low art" movie is realized. In the case of Sommers, as I said over there, he elevates B movie tropes to something that is equally impressive to me as a more critically lauded film, that crosses of the boxes of "high art" cinema. Sommers is an action auteur, and as such deserves credit for that. There's well-made, intentional, high quality camp and films that are not.
I’m not separating between “high art” and “low art” either. I wouldn’t be surprised if Deep Rising made a Goldsmith top 40 list. Hell, Congo would make my Goldsmith top 40 list easily! I still think it’s a surprising pick for top 10 given how prolific Goldsmith was.
To each his own I guess but I think what Thor said makes a lot of sense. I can imagine this would be a crazy comment to a lot of Goldsmith fans but after Deep Rising I listened to some other Goldsmith stuff on Spotify I hadn’t really tried much before and I’d much rather be playing Deep Rising than say Rambo - FB part 2 ( love First Blood by the way)
