Ok. Keep those top five lists coming. Try this one: Jerry Goldsmith was a master at scoring action scenes. Here's your place to sound off on what you consider his most exciting, gut-busting, ferocious adrenaline-pumping action cues ever. (Not just busy music but total all-out action cues.) My top five: Breakout (CAPRICORN ONE) Raisuli's Attack (THE WIND AND THE LION) Hot Water (OUTLAND) You're Renewed (LOGAN'S RUN) Antonio's Death (PAPILLON) I was struggling between that last entry and Night Of The Beast from POLTERGEIST but I'm not sure that one qualifies as just a pure all-out action cue. --Doug |

To The Davenport: Gads... you got me on that one!! Yes, The Rescue from BABY should make the list. Guess I'll have to drop Antonio's Death and make room for The Rescue. (Or cheat, and do a top six list.) Anyway, thanks for the reminder on that one! --Doug |

Hmm. I'll second your nomination of "Hot Water", since those trombone figures just before the unison upper string trills near the end remind me of someone retching from the strain of running for their life. I also favor the chase from BOYS FROM BRAZIL since it has those barking brass sections, like slavering dobermans (dobermen?). |

Oh Doug.... Strangely enough, when I saw the subject of this thread, the very first cue that popped into my mind was "Antonio's Death" Also, are you talking about how the music fits the scene as well, or just how the music stands on it's own? |

Some of my choices are not total, start-to-finish action cues but build their way to their peaks. (And Terry Cloth, sometimes you can't help being influenced by their effect with the films!) FIRST KNIGHT - Arthur's Farewell GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH - Pot Luck IN HARM'S WAY - The Rock ISLANDS IN THE STREAM - Is 10 Too Old? (soundtrack recording) THE LAST RUN - Rickard Escapes THE OMEN - The Altar 100 RIFLES - Escape and Pursuit UNDER FIRE - Rafael WILD ROVERS - Wild Horses THE WIND AND THE LION - A Bid for Freedom/Something of Value (Sorry, Doug -- I just remembered you asked for lists of five only. I'll just acknowledge I can't do that; I already squeezed out too many I love!) |

Hmmm ... only five? Let's see ... I'll make things easier on myself by picking some that haven't been mentioned yet, and restricting myself to one per decade: Retreat (THE BLUE MAX) The Dogs Attack* (THE OMEN) The Tractor (THE SECRET OF NIMH) My Favorite Plague (THE MUMMY) Final Flight (STAR TREK: NEMESIS) * Since only the second half of this is an action cue, substitute "The Demise of Mrs. Baylock" if so desired. Of course, the action portion of "The Dogs Attack" is about the same length...

I agree with most choices but since there is no point for me to write down the exact same content as you guys have so instead I present to you another top 5 list that has not already been mentioned. In no particular order: The Sleeper from Executive Decision Tree House from Forever Young Roxy Loses from Basic Instinct The Bust from Rent-A-Cop Ice Chase from Chain Reaction Ok, I now that the main bulk of my choices came from his films from the nineties but I am more familiar with those ones. |

Doug's initial 5 looks a whole lot like mine, so here is my alternate list: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet - TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE Klingon Battle - STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE Darkness Fails - LEGEND The Road to Masada - MASADA Moving Day - THE SECRET OF NIMH |

Mine is almost identical to Doug's, with a couple of exceptions: Breakout (CAPRICORN ONE) Raisuli's Attack (THE WIND AND THE LION) Hot Water (OUTLAND) Hanging On (FIRST BLOOD) Clever Girl (TOTAL RECALL) Honorable Mentions: The Hunt (PLANET OF THE APES) Helicopter Rescue (THE CASSANDRA CROSSING) The Ravine (THE EDGE) The Hunt (THE FINAL CONFLICT) The Wagon (TAKE A HARD RIDE) I know, it's a Top Ten...

Supergirl - The Monster Tractor In my opinion the absolute Goldsmith melody driven action/adventure cue ! The Mummy - Tauger Attack The rythm of this cue always amazes me, I've never heard such a nervous rythm ! Air Force One - The Hijacking The building of this cue is so clever and efficient... Strangely this cue reminds me some James Horner action cues at some points (Brainstorm and Apollo 13) Total Recall - End of a Dream A glorious apothesis to an overall perfect action score ! Rambo II - Village Raid/Helicopter Fight Great heroic 80's action at its best ! All these action cues always blow me away !!! |
