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?

    • I started this thread when the EDF was probably at its peak, a gentle prod in the ribs at some of the numerous threads/posters, be they pompous, argumentative, or downright wacko e.g. child abducting clowns, whilst using Camberwick Green/Trumpton pics to illustrate this parallel  universe. All threads take on a life of their own, but I would like to say that it was meant to be used in the spirit of a third-party commenting on events rather than someone using it on a personal level to 'get even'.  As you were...      
    • Hi,  Anyone selling any cushions or giving away for free? 2 or 4 please. Ideally any tone  of blue and not feather infill - yellow or grey also good. Thank you and have a good day    
    • Try Mind and St Christopher’s - they generally accept such items, if bagged. There is a large bin at the car park of The Plough but it’s often full (despite my calls to the number provided) and some (on here) have said the organisation has links to certain charities/groups that one may find troubling. (Please do your own research. I cast no aspersions.) 
    • However I don't understand how I could check if the SSD is detected without being able to see anything on the screen? Or how I could run any diagnostic tools without being able to see anything on the screen?
