About all I can add is that what First Breath said is probably true. What is memorable to one person may not be memorable to another listener.

Jkannry, so you usually go to Bond films first for the score? There have certainly been some amazing scores for Bond films for many decades.

Joan hue,
Yes. I've routed for series survival because of the scores. Have some fondness for character but it's music, the music(bad joke). Will buy it first and then pay attention to see where was used.


I've played some bond Barry when on bbc America ir other channel sometimes to have music running from TV in background.

I suspect if music went downhill, and I don't mean Barry vs Newman, the series would start to lose interest for me.

We are twinsies, Ray. I was immediately grabbed by The Magnificent Seven. After that movie, I really started to tune in to scores from future and past movies. However, upon first viewing The Wild Bunch, I did not notice the music, and I know why. I was mesmerized, hypnotized and shocked by the ballets of violence in that movie. Upon repeated viewings, Fielding's amazing music finally downloaded into my mind and ears.

Ha...not the first time I've noticed that we often share similar film and music tastes (and influences). We both love a good Western and Western film scores in particular, especially the great Elmer Bernstein.
On a related note, I just tracked down a copy of the DVD for CANNON FOR CORDOBA, only because of the score (I have the CD but had never seen the film). Poor film, but what a great EB score!

We did part company on GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL in a recent thread though. wink

Yes, Ray, we both seem to love westerns and many of the great western scores.

I thought your comments that followed mine about The Grand Budapest Hotel were very good. I did notice music, colors and the casting that you mentioned. So I still wonder why I didn't get into it, especially after reading your insightful comments. You enjoyed layers that just didn't grab me. I watched all of Moonrise Kingdom which you liked, but I kept waiting to really enjoy it, and I didn't. You used the word "quirkiness." Maybe I'm just not into "quirkiness." Different strokes, I guess.
