The Last Of The Mohicans is the best soundtrack ever.


I bought CD's with it on & have watched the film at least 6 times. As much as I love the film, I have to watch it again & again, just for the music.


ETA My 2nd fave has to be The Good. The Bad & The Ugly

Zimmer has been the busiest of boys, on paper. He farms a lot of the donkey work out his drones though. By all accounts - noting a basic tune down and handing it to someone else saying 'score that for me, would you?' is a regular occurrence. The 'Zimmer Score' that impressed me the most was The Thin Red Line, I think.


I'd nominate a couple of Kubricks:


The Shining has a great score / soundtrack.


2001 is my all-time fave though: if you get a chance to see/hear it in a good auditorium (I went to the BFI) the whole thing - just sounds amazing.. especially the silence.

Have you heard the original score which Kubrick scrapped? It's available on CD... but it's hard to imagine 2001 without the classical soundtrack...

I know the story about it, but not the music itself.


The iconic classical contributions hog the limelight re 2001 but - as I say - it's really hard to appreciate how good the rest of it sounds without a decent cinematic experience.

Didn't all the Old Masters do the same?

    • A letter, you say - we haven't had one of those (again...).  Has anyone seen any blue notices on the park railings? Or an advert in a 'local paper'? All things that Gala are supposed to be doing as part of their application, according to the consultation document. And will there be any penalties if they don't? 😖 Is there any update from those who attended either the online or physical PR tick box events? Such ridiculous times and location, why not hybrid & local?
    • One month on and Never-Here-Keir is getting ever closer to the toaster. It seems that he goes AWOL at every opportunity. He's done 34 foreign trips to 26 countries since becoming PM.  Surely, with all the in-fighting going on at #10 and with some MPs and one Labour mayor on manoeuvres,  should he not be staying at home and fighting for his premiership and the interests of the Labour party?  or does he reckon he is already doomed and feels better away from it all?
    • 5stars!   Aria has completed a third job for me today and I’m always so glad to recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, timely and communicative plumber.    Aria came to look at the job on the day I messaged about it (replacing and repositioning radiators). He advised on different solutions and what I needed to buy.   He then came back today to do the work. He managed to move things around to get it done in the small window I had available. The work was done to a very high standard (Aria will always check for any potential issues several times) and for very good value.  He’s also just a really nice friendly guy who I’ll definitely work with again.
    • Glad Gigi is safe.  Hope there won't be 'a next time'.
