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?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….

      Vet recommendation

      By Angelina · Posted

      Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
