I have watched "The Defiant Ones" on Netflix. Basically how Jimmy Iovine and Dr Dre made their careers.

I quite liked it. Also won a Grammy Award if not mistaken.

Django Unchained

I can't place #3 but I recall hearing it.

#5 is correct.

#3 is a movie from 2006. Directed by M Scorsese (I hope this hint doesn't give away too much)

If I have put this one up already, I apologize, but I was thinking about this movie over the weekend and remembered this line

A real softball

'It

I've watched Tenet last weekend

Directed by Chris Nolan

Starred with John David Washington (Denzel's son) and Robert Pattinson

I have to admit, every time I watch a Chris Nolan movie I have to watch it at least twice to get a grip of it

Same happened with Interstellar and Inception previously.

Worth watching for sure, but don't even walk away to get a cup of tea or anything because otherwise you don't follow the movie anymore.

Also check out Ludovico Einaudi. "Una Mattina" is fantastic.
Found him on the score of "Les Untouchables" - it's the original (french) version of "The Upside".

Gordon: I'm following your references. Morricone was iconic, as is Zimmer (and as jimv said, also Miklos Rozsa). But don't forget about John Williams and his many contributions including in Spielberg and Lucas movies). Bob

Oh absolutely... As a matter of fact my list has a few John Williams scores.

I also like Alan Silvestri as well as Henry Jackman very much. As I also like Thomas Newman - Meet Joe Black has been a very good score, too. Rather calm, but very well composed. Also liked American Beauty.

Let me heck out Rozsa - but am sure I will like that, too.

Overall, I think Hans Zimmer is today what Ennio Morricone has been for the Spaghetti Western Movies or for movies like The Untouchables...

In 2019 Zimmer did the Movie Soundtrack for The Dark Phoenix (X-Men), not sure you guys are very much into those kind of movies but the movie score is fantastic (the main theme "Gap" is phenomenal). Worth listening in for sure.

I didn't make the list, just posted it. If there are songs or scores you like, let's hear them.

I think the topic at hand was more songs than just movie scores, as that would need another top 100 list.

I did not think that was your list Lenny, apologies if we misunderstood each other.

I thought the idea was fur us to post a list of music we like, hence my question would you rather want to have a list of "normal" music or movie scores. Let me give it a go... I may surprise some of you with my taste - despite my age. 

I am the type of guy that is very attentive to the music when he watches a movie. In my view if the music / score is good, the movie automatically becomes more attractive.

When you say movie songs Lenny, does that also include classical scores?

I don't know if I had mentioned this previously, but I have started to watch the latest Star Trek saga, Star Trek Discovery. I think it was on Prime or something else, up to season 3 I think, but they released Season 1 on CBS broadcast TV. I believe it is 16 episodes long and I just finished episode 11 and like it very much.

To be clear, I was never, and still am not. a trekkie. I enjoyed the original Star Trek with Bill Shatner and also enjoyed a lot of The Next Generation. After that, I never watched any of the series and there were quite a few. I belong to a sort of TV Geek thing from a library where we met every week to discuss assorted TV shows and urge others to watch some of them. (It started with GOT, proceeded onto TWD and now we discuss whatever). Since there is no in library thing, we do this on Zoom every week (if anyone would like to join, they are more than welcome). So we are into SciFi now with most watching being the Expanse and also Discovery. I sort of dropped out of the Expanse thing as I wanted to binge-watch but they are releasing the series one week at a time so I forget from week to week. I'll catch up after the season. But I am really into Discovery. Yes, it is another Star Trek thing but it seems to rise above many of the cliques and is very entertaining. If you're a Trekkie or just like good Sci-Fi, I would recommend it along with The Expanse.

Hey Lenny

I think we touched on it and we discussed about watching Picard or not.

I liked Discovery - but won't give away anything until you're through with it.
