film scores


Enjoyed watching this  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4207112/ .  Made me wish I had a theater set-up!  Just wished AMC put more resources into their speakers (especially considering the effort that goes into making the score), never been overly impressed with the sound at my local AMCs (North NJ).  Be interesting to hear folks fav score?  Cheers, enjoy the wkd

Well the best score is of course the one the great Sergio Leoni commissioned Ennio Morricone to write for what stands as the best Western of all time, Once Upon A Time In The West. When the director has the music written first and then directs the movie to fit the score you know the score is great. 

This much is of course obvious. What I really want to say though is you do NOT need a "theater set-up" for movies. A Home Theater setup is in fact the best way to RUIN a good movie sound track. 

What you want is what you hopefully already have, a really good stereo. 

Then you put up a screen, back on the wall behind the speakers where it does not interfere at all with your sound system, put a projector on the ceiling up and behind where it does not interfere at all with your listening, and WALA! You have the best you can get for watching movies with the best possible video AND sound.
I listened to the Batman score penned by Danny Elfman the other night and really dug it.
I really enjoy the score from the movie “Manhattan”.  Great recording and song selection.
It’s too bad Hans Zimmer ruined film scores for everyone with his generic brand of meh.
