Author	Topic: Favorite James Newton Howard Score

Audacity Oscar® Winner	I couldn't let Scott start all these lists without starting one on my favorite composer. 1) Waterworld 2) Grand Canyon 3) Wyatt Earp 4) The Postman 5) The Fugitive 6) Outbreak (expanded edition) 7) My Best Friends Wedding 8) Flatliners 9) The Trigger Effect 10) Diggstown/Major League Since Jeron did it...Honorable mentions... Sixth Sense, Restoration, Off Limits, Intersection, Alive, Saint of Fort Washington And if what Dan tells me about it is right I am sure Snow Falling on Cedars will be on this list as soon as I get the damn thing. Audacity NP Wyatt Earp (James Newton Howard)*****

Dan Brecher Oscar® Winner	YES, Snow Falling on Cedars is amazing, and as it happens, is my fave James Newton Howard score. As A runner up, I'd have to say Dave. I LOVE his theme for ER too btw. hehe Dan (UK) NP: Meet Joe Black (***/***)

James Oscar® Winner	Ed... uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think George Fenton did The Crucible, not JNH. Well, I only have two JNH scores: The Postman Wyatt Earp But I love Waterworld and plan to get it very soon. James

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	I have around 25 CDs on him and some tapes, plus the Off Limits LP and Promised Land cassette. I like almost all of his work. Overall, there are only 3-4 of all these I don't like much: Three Men and a Little Lady Mumford Glen Garry Glen Ross Intersection The rest are all good to very good with some great. I really like Dave, Waterworld, Alive, Grand Canyon, Wyatt Earp, Flatliners and several others. Best, John.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	I don't like most of his work, to be honest, but have been variously impressed by ALIVE, DIGGSTOWN (an underrated movie!), THE SIXTH SENSE and STIR OF ECHOES -- especially the latter, which had some real balls-to-the-wall horror action stuff in it that really impressed me.

Chris Oscar® Nominee	James Newton Howard? I just can't get enough from him. I own: - Outbreak - My best friend's wedding - The Fugitive - Waterworld - Space Jam (Score!) - The Postman - Wyatt Earp - Primal Fear - Devil's Advocate - Snow falling on Cedars (delicious) - Stir of Echoes Everytime I read something about Howard here, I'm in the mood to buy everything else I don't have.

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	Add Restoration to my best list on him. I got this recently on ebay and its very good. His original cues blend well with the Purcell classical stuff on it. A nice all-around score. Best, John.

Chris Oscar® Nominee	I have something to add to my list, too. - Restoration (great) - The sixth Sense

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	He seems to me a somewhat variable composer, but I do like The Fugitive (Goldsmith "borrowings" aside), and Wyatt Earp (my favourite by JNH).

scoreaholic unregistered	I think that some of JNH stuff can be very boring and others can be great. I bought Waterworld and hated it. I already had Alive and The Fugitive which were excellent, so I though that I could try this. Waterworld sucks. Anyway, I also have A Perfect Murder which is excellent, and Devils Advocate which has some great cues, but if you listen to it too many times in a row some of the cues in the middle get a little boring.
