Favorite Movie Composers

EDIT: Tom, seeing your post reminded me of something I wanted to ask you...have you seen the HBO mini-series The Pacific? I saw Band of Brothers and loved it, and was thinking about checking out this follow-up...for some reason I figured you probably saw it?

 

Yes, I've seen it - there's a thread somewhere back in time where I'm complaining about innacurate minutae (**** that basically I would only see - "the spacing between the LCM's is too close...") So basically, I didn't much care for it.

 

But that's me. A normal person would probably like it. My only non-abnormal complaints would be that, as it combines two stories, it feels a bit disjointed, and that it really doesn't capture the essential mix of boredom and terror in the Pacific as well as Band of Brothers did in the European theater.

Interesting...well as long as it didn't suck, I'll definitely check it out. I just won't hold it to the same standard as BoB. I still remember the scene in BoB where

they came upon the fence in the woods and then started seeing the prisoners in the concentration camp...without having any concept that such a place existed...that image has stayed with me since I saw that episode

 

 

Thanks for the feedback...and just to make sure I'm not taking this thread off the tracks too much, I'm going to be sure to pay attention to the music in the Pacific :w00t:

Lalo Schifrin is a famous movie and TV music composer.

 

I don't think you'll get many responses back due to the lack of people posting who have seen movies/TV that far back or who know the names. I mentioned Jerry Goldsmith, perhaps the greatest movie composer of all time, in a list of composing giants and no response.

 

I mean giant:

ASIDE: Lalo Schifrin did the music for a very, very unique movie that I enjoyed as a kid:

Lalo is an old timer so the brunt of his work comes in 70' and 80'. His fussion of jazz and bossa nova was a trade mark of his.

The theme of Starsky & Hutch is his, he wrote the core of Bullit and Enter the Dragon. The guy was a heavy weight in the disco era.

 

Get Smart was a fixture in Argentinian television and we couldn't get enough of it. Dom Adams was amazing.
