Re: Film Composer James Horner Dies in Plane Crash

I was watching Field of Dreams last night and it just made me think of how many times Horner nailed it with his scores. The track during "the catch" is easily up there with my all-time favorites.

I've got the James Horner station on regular rotation on Pandora. I was just listening to it today.

Listened to Titanic soundtrack today. Still quality


On that topic, I still personally view Titanic as the #1 movie of all-time in terms of box office rankings. And I don't mean gross total or adjusted for inflation (because other movies obviously beat Titanic), but the fact that it was #1 at the domestic box office for 15 consecutive weekends is mind-blowing. This all happened when the internet was still in its infancy, and the word of mouth for the movie was insane.

I remember buying that CD soundtrack just for one little piece of music...Only to find out it wasn't even included.

Wow, that's terrible. He's got some great scores.

If I ever become somewhat famous, I'm definitely not going to take up flying as a hobby.

Sad news Horner was one of the best composers in the business.

I had ordered the Wrath of Khan soundtrack two days before his death and the post office just dropped it off after misplacing it. Listening now and it has always been one of my favorites.
