| Star Wars: How brilliant is this? It's a marvelous bit of program music with passages people reference frequently in popular culture. How many people have hummed the Imperial theme when speaking of Dick Cheney? The yearning strings of Luke watching the double sunset on Tatooine? The score is beautifully married to the film itself and is as much part of it as the ubermyth it has become. |
| Lawrence of Arabia: Maurice Jarre's masterpiece. The lit match,
the sun, and that brilliant score that evokes the wet and nautical
out of the arid and ponderous but still works like they were born
twins. It's an intense, sweeping score but is perfectly and
beautifully subtle in such scenes as the rescue of Gasim. It is said
there are only three stars in the film, the desert, O'Toole, and the
Jarre's magnificent score. Few disagree. |
