Dunkirk a must see.

I'm not sure I can swallow that. Williams was fortunate to be working during the golden age of film, real movies that people associate with and therefore the music becomes maybe more famous. Everyone knows the themes to Star Wars and Jaws, but to think that Jaws is better music than almost anything by Zimmer, no way.

Zimmer's on a live tour in North America right now. I went to the premier in LA and it was worth every second.

And Wagner was a product of the Opera. And this composer was fortunate during this period and that composer was fortunate during that one. Every composer must find a place for his music to flourish and while I think Jaws was pretty basic, the entire Star Wars soundtrack was amazing.

Sometimes he was just scoring movies like ET and Superman, but other times the music made the film complete like Raiders, Empire of the Sun and Schindler's List. He's on a short list of modern classical composers that I even GAFA.

I'm not as familiar with Zimmer since so many of his films really sucked. Waste of talent to score crap like The Thin Red Line. Gladiator, The Last Samurai and Interstellar were decent films but honestly I don't even remember the music. I know the Dark Knight films had music that seemed to fit the film, but honestly I don't recall any of it.

But I think about Star Wars for two seconds and Luke's theme runs through my mind and to me it's more powerful than the Imperial March.

While at the theater to watch two other movies [previously], they were advertising the hell out of Dunkirk--hyping it up it appeared to me. Just from the 6 or 7 trailer/clips personally Imwill wait for Radbox or Netflix. I was not drawn in at all.

Watched it last night with the wife. I thought it was a really good movie and did a decent job of telling the story. With that said it had a few issues that I didn't love. The soldier on the civilian boat with "shell shock" was annoying. The one shot kills on every single boat that was hit by a single German bomb that resulted in almost instant sinking. And finally the never ending RAF gliding fighter pilot.

To my mind, Zimmer's best soundtrack is still Broken Arrow.

I'm really wanting to see it in 70mm IMAX.

Hope this thread doesn't get locked like my last one on the film!

I agree with Steyr, although I think Zimmerman is good and can easily recall the themes from Gladiator. Kingdom of Heaven, The Last Samurai, &c., not so much.

Star Wars, Minority Report, Memoirs of a Geisha, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, &c. Zimmerman is good and will probably be the best person writing movie scores after John Williams passes... but John Williams is still the best.

I thought it was incredible. 2 hours of straight different from Saving Private Ryan. There isn't a story line to achieve with the characters. It doesn't need it. The story tells the story. I thought it was significantly better than Fury. I'm glad I made the trip to see it. Waiting to watch it on my 60" isn't anywhere close to the IMAX screen. There is an element of feel to the movie that the cinema sound conveys that's tough to get at home.

The music in interstellar actually helped make the movie for me. It was epic organ music and I thought gave the movie a cool feel

Bear in mind overloaded Ships, and these were obviously grossly overloaded react very differently than running at their specifications.
A puncture in the hull of an overloaded ship will react to pressures caused by a puncture very differently than one running to their load specification.
Also, a lot of the Ships we are seeing weren't any more modern than the Titanic.
