Valley Of Shadows is 👍
Yup. My alltime favourite of his as well.
I think my first encounter was the COLORS trilogy, specially BLUE I liked a lot as the music such a specific integral part. I generally like him but I am not directly a fan.
Big crossover appeal with that trilogy, especially BLUE where music plays a central part of the story. I love the films dearly, and their scores, but not necessarily in my top 5.
