Thanks for the explanation. What about inserting a space or vertical line between the time and “EDIT”/”REPLY” in the header of each post? 🙂

Your comment about login made me remember an issue: if logging in through the username and password fields at the bottom of the forum, login always fails. Probably because the captcha is missing.

Noted. Sorry for derailing the thread – perhaps there could be a separate thread for questions regarding the forum itself.

To answer your Star Wars question: I think Christopher Willis could have been an good choice for a Star Wars composer, probably capable of emulating the classic Star Wars sound. He’s shown great skills at creating good pastiche scores, such as The Death of Stalin and David Copperfield.

That’s okay, but then the “REPLY” link/button on every post doesn’t really have a function other than bringing you down to the editor at the bottom of the plane?

Damn, I forgot Pinchcliffe Grand Prix when making my list. It of course belongs there.

[Sigbjørn]

When I select “reply” on a post, isn’t that post supposed to get quoted in my own post?

[Sigbjørn]

I haven’t counted in a while as a large part of my collection is in a disarray (in boxes). A rough estimate says I have too much.

So we meet again, Richard, at the turn of the tide.

It’s too long since I saw Clockwork (in cinema!), and it’s not really high on the list of films I feel the need to rewatch. 🙂

I think Carlos’ synth takes on classical music work well in some of the films, such as The Shining, but in A Clockwork Orange, for example, it’s annoying (which could be the intention).

I like Joseph Trapanese’s score to Tron Legacy. 🙂

[Sigbjørn]

Works for me.

That depends a lot on where to draw the boundaries – how does the music qualify as jazz, are films based in stage musical allowed, and so on.

Anyway, these are the ones that immediately come to mind:

– Stormy Weather
– Singing in the Rain
– The Glenn Miller Story
– The Benny Goodman Story, although the sound could have been better and Goodman wasn’t in top form.
– Crime in the Streets
– West Side Story
– Chicago
– Swing Kids – not for Horner’s mundane score, but for the unbelievably good big band recordings of 30s swing classics.
– The Artist
– The Post

Runners-up:
– Ellington’s film scores
– The Man with the Golden Arm
– The Pink Panther

Not a specific composer, but I’ve gotten a greater appreciation for golden age film scores in recent years. Probably a reaction to the decreasing number of (good) symphonic scores nowadays.
