    I watched "Tarantula" with music by Mancini and others last night. This was another of the low budget films of the 50's from Universal.

    But WHAT an execution!
    One of the best Big Nuclear Monster movies out there, and a classic in its genre and period.

    It's not a joke. One of Clint's earliest and un-credited appearances, he's one of the fighter pilots bombing the giant spider.

    Watched SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE today and totally enjoyed it. It does use a typical Bollywood formula of boy meets girl, boy and girl are separated by very bad people, boy and girl grow up etc ( no spoilers here ).

    Oh yeah, and I LOVED the music cool

    Watching Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain and they're totally using John Williams' Dracula (among lots of other scores). I needed to share that.

    Cool!

    Saw last night...

    Les Poupees Russes (Russian Dolls)
    This one is the sequel to the awesome film- L'Auberge Espagnole. There's no way it can stand up to the first film but this one is rather nice. All the characters have gone on to do their own things and here we focus on two of them-- Romain Duris and the incredibly gorgeous Kelly Reilly. kiss

    The Holiday
    This was a decent flick. A house swap by the two female characters (Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz) leads to them finding love. An enjoyable score by Zimmer even if he's inspired a lot by Morricone. Jack Black plays a film composer and us fans will probably dig the scene where he hums and talks about famous themes. Cameron Diaz is irritating and looks as old as the mountains. Eli Wallach was a nice surprise. Jack Black played the piano as well as any Bollywood actor tongue

    An early Monogram series called Mr. Wong with Boris Karloff as a Chinese detective? A bit hard for me to swallow given the other roles he has played over the years.

    Eli Wallach is the real star alongside Kate Winslet and Jack Black, I did like Diaz and Law's chemistry together, though I loved Winslet and Black's romance more

    but Eli Wallach has given the movie a depth that elevated it entirely

    Chariots of Fire, Driving Miss Daisy, Gone with the Wind I think, Jaws and he plays the Indiana Jones theme on piano, which is magical

    such a cool thing having a film composer in a movie

    It ain't exactly Chariots of Fire, Gone with the Wind or Jaws in terms of public recognition, I wouldn't have thought! (Though I don't suppose any Zimmer theme is, now I think about it.)

    I think his Pirates of the Caribbean theme is pretty famous. In my experience I've found most people almost instantly recognise it.

    I'm trying to imagine what circumstances you may have met people and been able to determine that they could instantly recognise the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean!

    I'd say it's his most likely theme to be recognised, but probably not quite in the Jaws league!

    I play it to them using speakers or on a piano.

    It's not as recognisable as Jaws, definitely probably not, but people do recognise Pirates - whether film music geeks think it's worthy of recognition or not.

    I remain sceptical that the average man in the street would really recognise it, to be honest. Nothing to do with whether it's worthy of recognition (I think it's a really catchy, fun theme) - I just doubt they would - at least, not in the same way as the average man would identify Star Wars or Jaws or Indiana Jones or Star Trek or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or The Pink Panther or The Great Escape.

    What is the POTC theme? Which cue? Is it the da-da da-da-da-da da-da-da-da da-da-duh-da one?

    I don't imagine it's quite at that level, but I certainly have a hunch it's Zimmer's most famous tune. Most people of MY age group tend to know it, that's all I can say.

    I love to do or see a survey on this! It would certainly prove enlightening.

    I've no doubt it's Zimmer's most famous tune. Can't think of anything else which would even be a candidate, to be honest. Maybe the Lisa Gerrard stuff in Gladiator, but I guess he may not have written that?

    True. I actually struggled to think of a "famous Zimmer tune".... then the most obvious one came to mind.
