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?

    • Europe, very much so, the whole of August is a write-off, if you want anything delivered from there, forget it, but there's no similar summer shutdown period in the UK as such, just people taking hols while kids off school etc. The nearest the UK construction sector has to a proper shut down is the Christmas/New Year period when, depending on when the Bank Holidays fall, there's an approx 10-14 day unofficial shutdown between Christmas and New Year... 
    • There's planning permission for 2 houses.  Southwark planning site is too slow today to use, but found this link from Savills to auction the site: https://auctions.savills.co.uk/auctions/19--26-november-2024-158/3335-hansler-road-east-dulwich-london-se22-9dj-13236   Edited to add that the inclusion of lower ground floor in the planning application description indicates that basements will be dug.  Looks like Fellbrigg/Hansler is up for some heavy construction traffic next year.
    • He looks like the human version of the 😡 emoji. I'm sure he's lovely in real life (whoever he is).
    • Absolutely, Insuflo I very much doubt that anyone other than football fans would have heard of Dyche, much less his views on false number nines, mobile centre halves  dropping into midfield or diamond formations. But all middle-aged, portly, bald, gruffly spoken football fans from north of the capital who eschew fancy Dan tactics for the traditional, English merits of 4-4-2 shall be deemed knuckle-dragging Neanderthals by the Wokerati and the Metropolitan Elite. They care not what his views are, only that he looks like the sort of person who may have them. It's political correctness gone mad. But they, unlike Dyche, won't have a pub named after them.
