@Paaskynen,
The terminal theme for "Ghost and the Darkness" a film based upon the stuffed lions that reside in Chicago's FIELD MUSEUM , and what they did to get stuffed and mounted.

I've been looking for a great theme from a lousy movie, but can't find any.

They must exist though.
The closest I can think of is "Platoon". The movie itself was not memorable at all to me but the music, especially Barber's 'Adagio For Strings' was so moving that I bought the soundtrack album. I was so pissed that the CD was literally the soundtrack, dialog, sound effects, everything overlaid on the music. Is that normal? I never bought another after that.

@Finn dAbuzz,
"Personally, not a fan of the Morricone spaghetti western themes, but love Wagner, as all neo-nazis must." (referring to Gungasnake.)

A severely negative comment, even for A2K, more appropriate to the waning days of Abuzz. Yeah, the Nazis loved Wagner, but his music transcends the mundane and is, therefore, divine. And gungasnake may be a fundamentalist, but he's not a nazi.

Yes, the nazis played Wagner in the death camps, and those who survived, of course, despise Wagner. I recall a story about a foreign conductor going to Israel and leading a concert that included a piece by Wagner. A member of the audience stood up--a survivor of one of the death camps--and shouted, "You will not play Wagner!" Well, they did play Wagner, because the music transcends everything negative associated with it.

@layman,
Luigi Boccherini's piece "Night Music in the STreets of Madrid" is the end theme of one of my all time favorite movies. See'f anyone can catch it

Just finished watching, "Battleship Potemkin," the Eisenstein production done in 1925. It's a silent film with accompanying music from three of Shostakovich's symphonies, the 5th, the 8th, and another I didn't recognize. Apparently different versions use different music. I liked this one, very dramatic, the victory ending with the conclusion of the 5th.

Wow...Are you off the mark!

How you arrived at the conclusion that my reference to neo-nazis was a reference to Gunga is beyond me.

Even allowing for your inability to detect sarcasm my comment clearly referred to me: (I) love Wagner as all neo-nazis must.

(Please understand that I do not truly consider myself [or Gunga for that matter] a neo-nazi --- this last bit added only because it would be a shame to see you further confused.)

@Finn dAbuzz,
Sorry! One of these days I'm going to learn how to read. I'm only 72; there still is time.

@coluber2001,
No problem

Your rebuke was quite mild by A2K standards.

@hemant12,
Started watching a Bollywood movie last night (Bang Bang). I lasted 2 minutes. The problem wasn't the subtitles, some of my favorites have been subtitled foreign films.

"The Intouchables" was great btw.
