It sounds good.
-
I wanted to laugh at him.
-
Thinking about checking out that show on the 29th or 30th.
-
i love this theater
-
Possibly the most underrated score of all time. Seriously, that music is haunting, memorable and all around awesome.
-
One of the ebst and most over-looked movies directed by Coppolla. A crying shame it's not better known.
-
Ba-WOMP-WOMP-WOMP!

Release the all the presidents men score already
by judge dredds fresh undies
and the parallax view, although that wasn't David Shire.
-
I must get more David Shire scores.
-
...reading the article. That's another reason I can't stand remakes. Anyone got the 2009 version in their head right now? There are few scores I'm impressed with anymore. Think of Jaws and Rocky. If those films were made today, they may have still been good films but I doubt the soundtracks would be near as memorable. The score for 76's King Kong still goes through my head from time to time. The 2005 version? I couldn't think of it to save my life, and I liked that movie.

One of my favorite '70s thriller scores, and I always forget that it was done by Michael Small (also a great score for Marathon Man, also), not David Shire.
-
would have to include Walter Murch's brilliant audio design and sound editing.
-
It really evokes the Seventies when you here it.
-
"All the President's Men" is already available on CD. It's paired with Michael Small's unfortunate score for "Klute" (a lot of annoying moaning in the cues, a wrongheaded staple of Small and Schifrin around that early '70s time...otherwise I love those guys' scores --- somebody needs to release Small's "Parallax View" paired with his spare score for "Terminal Man"). Check out Amazon or Ebay for the "All the President's Men" CD.
-
Here it is with free sound samples:http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=8319And I like the Klute score. Very eerie and atmospheric.
-
Parallax View is excellent as is his score to Klute!
-
Ordered me a copy :)
