  1. Since I'm a new fan, I can't really chime in on this, but I think you guys are mostly right. The band is in a slow decline - in my opinion - right now. I don't think they'll be around for too much longer.

  2. John Williams and James Horner are my two favorites. Someone above mentioned "Avatar"...that one is beautiful. It has some breathtaking moments.

    Hans Zimmer is very good, too, although familiar themes of his seem to come out in every score. James Newton Howard has a few good ones. Alexandre Desplat needs to be mentioned; his scores for the King's Speech and Benjamin Button have a very simple beauty to them. Nicola Piovani wrote a beautiful score for "Life is Beautiful." Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings soundtrack needs a mention here as well. Finally, Randy Newman wrote a pretty powerful score for "Seabiscuit."

    Ok, I love movie soundtracks a lot. A lot.

    This song is beautiful. Tears

  4. I loved it. I cringed a little at the addition of *some* of the modern soundtracks (Lana del Rey fit well). The book is one of my favorites and this movie captured my feelings about the book better than the Robert Redford version. That one always seemed a little bland to me, and I wanted to punch Mia Farrow in the face throughout the movie. Leo as Gatsby was heartbreaking. I can't wait to buy the DVD and see it again!
