It stars Keanu Reeves. It didn't have very good reviews, but I liked it.

How about High And The Mighty theme? Thats got to be a classic. Also the song from High Noon, both written by Dimitri Tiompkin.

yesss!...wow forgot all about Dimitri..............those 2 songs were so popular back then and very " hummable "

Ive got both the popular versions of High Noon, Tex Ritter and Frankie Laine. Never get tired of hearing it. Frankie Laine, he was another one who did great movie themes. The Hanging Tree, Rawhide, altho that was a TV show. Another great theme was Jose Feliciano's Old Turkey Buzzard from McKenna's Gold.

And we cant forget Gene Pitney's Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Town Without Pity.

you've got some memory B. H.!...

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE MOVIE " TOWN W/O PITY "....i wonder what there was about that flick that made it stand out in my mind after all of these yesrs..

Probably because it was ahead of its time about a rape trial, plus the song.

I've heard Town Without Pity and I liked it a lot. I didn't know it was made for a movie! I should see it!

The movie was quite good. It starred Kirk Douglas and was about soldiers accused of raping a German girl. I dont remember much about it, its been years since I saw it.

Another one I like is Warsaw Concerto from a movie called Suicide Squadron. Its about a concert pianist who joins the Polish air force to fight the Nazis. And who can forget Stella By Starlight from The Uninvited?

Pirates of the Caribbean is definitely one of the top five for movies. I love Wicked and Les Miserables and Fame too.

Great choices... and isn't Hans Zimmer a GENIUS?!!!!!

suzy1124 · Post by **suzy1124** » 13 Jan 2014, 15:09

I agree, all excellent choices...........

Here's another " oldie " but goodie............HENRY MANCINI...an unbelievable talent, greatly missed....

Moon River...
Breakfast at Tiffany's...
Days of Winhe and Roses...
The theme from Pink Panther...

Mancini was a legend for sure. Baby Elephant Walk and the theme from Lifeforce were awesome, too. I once heard a radio broadcast of Mancini conducting the Utah Symphony and the opening piece was the super-cool Lifeforce theme. I didnt know he was dead. He will be missed.
