Welcome to the Celluloid Tunes film music forum!
In this forum, you’re free to talk about anything, although preferably with a film or film music focus. There is only ONE rule: Please be respectful to other people who don’t share your opinion!
But first — why not introduce yourself! Who are you, where are you from and what film music do you like?
Hi Thor and fellow Vikings!
Congratulations for the re-launch! What a treat!
I just wanted to state the obvious: C&C releases are a blessing and make the world a better place.
However, going through registration I noticed that the text frames are white, and the surrounding frames are too, so I found that a little difficult to take in visually. No matter. It might by my eyes or my screen.
There was fresh snow tomorrow here in western Germany. Hopefully winter’s last stand. temperatures are increasing.
All the best!
🙂 Volker
Hi there,
another fellow from Germany here (who actually likes this weather, than the usual rain ;-)) and I happen to help build this nice place respectively the look of it.
The frames are actually lightgray but depending on the screen and brightness used it could be a bit hard to see. Is this an issue as the frame borders actually are not that important. If it is a huge issue we certainly can adjust that a bit.

Ha! 😉
Thanks for popping in, Volker.
Hi Thor,
Interested to see how this forum develops, and would be particularly interested to hear about Norwegian and other Scandinavian film music-related news.
I’m a Scotsman who used to work in England and lives in Wales. But then you knew this already.
I’ve been listening to film music ‘seriously’ since I first heard John Williams’ STAR WARS back in 1977. But, looking back on it now, my enjoyment of the genre started even before this – I had a keen interest in TV themes and that interest would sometimes be higher for the theme than for the show itself. I’m a big fan of music giants such as Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Elliot Goldenthal and Howard Shore, but my tastes are quite broad.
I try and keep my own film music review blog ‘ticking over’ with reviews and awards news – https://reelmusic.wordpress.com – and, in this blog I try and highlight some of the lesser-known scores from smaller films.
Looking forward to seeing how this forum develops over the coming weeks and months.
Hello, all,
My name is Richard, and I am brand new, here.
I have been recommended to join this site, by my compadre, Thor.
I’ve been listening to film music for over 50 years, and I’ve been a member of JWfan for almost 17 years. It’s time to brach out, as it were, so here I am.
I look forward to reading, and posting about all things film music.😂
I’m not sure about that, Thor, but I’ll try not to “fart” about (pun intended), like I do, elsewhere.
Thanks for the invite.To the uninitiated, you’ve sometimes gone by the name “Naive Old Fart”. Just in case people think you fart all over the place.
Hi all! I “think I know” quite a few of you here, from your FSM Board posts. Some of you will thus “think you know” a bit about me, for better or worse. But in case you don’t, a short introduction –
I’ve been into film scores since my early teens. Now in my sixth decade I feel comfortable as a kind of archaeologist, delving into so much material from my favourite time period (very roughly from around 1955 until about 1985). I have very little connection with the present. I am a man out of time, a bookish, serious old fellow with a beard and glasses, and very little patience for modern fads.
I’d say that my favourite composers are Goldsmith and Williams, but I also love Rózsa, (some) Herrmann, Alfred Newman, Leonard Rosenman, Jerry Fielding, Lalo Schifrin, Alex North, Hugo Friedhofer, Basil Poledouris – and of course I have an unhealthy fascination with mavericks from the world of jazz, especially the amazing output of Gil Mellé and Basil Kirchin. And Oliver Nelson too, but he seemed to be more human than both Mellé and Kirchin, who actually came from another planet.
Hello everyone!
Well my name is Fanny, I’m probably the youngest over here and FSM (yeah I’m a millennial sorry 😂) that I joined a few days ago, even if I was checking the boards since like two years ago, I’m French Canadian living in France so my English is not the best, please pardon my grammar and syntax mistakes.
Was invited by Thor from the FSM boards to join this forum, so thanks to him for the invitation.
I’m a huge fan of film music scores since a few years (got interest about it when I was 14yo, so it was 7 years ago now), particularly synth and horror scores, my favorites composers are likely: Graeme Revell, Jerry Goldsmith, Tangerine Dream, Elliot Goldenthal, Daniel Licht, James Newton Howard, Goblin, Marco Beltrami, Paul Haslinger, Vangelis, Steve Moore, Tyler Bates, Charlie Clouser and John Carpenter.
Then I’m collecting scores on Cd’s and digital since that time, also into trading of recording sessions and complete scores, and I basically joined those places to share about scores since I have no one of my generation in real life to share about it, and well I guess that’s all for an introduction yet.
Good to see you here, Fanny! You might very well be the youngest; I think Edmilson is also in his 20s, but he hasn’t posted much. It’s refreshing with younger eyes and ears!

@Fanny: Reading that list and your comment about horror scores I immediately wondered, no Christopher Young? And is this because you don’t particularly like him? Or are you too young to know him? On the other hand Goldsmith and Carpenter are even much older veterans in that area.
Hello all. Some of you will know me from other forums, good to see you here and looking forward to diving in!
Yup, welcome, James! Hope you chime in in a few threads….we’ve had some new members recently that have popped in, but then disappeared off the face of the earth (Bregt, Graham Watt, Richard, Fanny….).
Hi Thor! Thanks for inviting me here. I hope the atmosphere of this forum will not be similar to the one in FSM… (That was the main reason I left there).
