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.

I’m not very familiar with Scott’s output. Which tracks would you recommend as an earopener?

[Sigbjørn]

It’s great, but I find the main theme even better.

[Sigbjørn]

Perhaps some of the other guys here can add your recommendations.

[Sigbjørn]

Let’s hope the original recording of King of Kings gets re-released in the not too distant future.

Yeah, I guess Spotify is the most used streaming service.
