At wave level, everything exists as a contradiction. Everything is existing in more than one stage/place at any given moment. Everything must move/vibrate and constantly change to exist. Everything, including buildings, mountains, oceans and thoughts.

SHAFTR

Francis Ford Coppola and Nina Rota with the Godfather films.

otherwise...
Sergio Leone / Ennio Morricone

There are shadows in life, baby.

I agree that Spielberg/Williams is the best collaboration ever, with the best results for each film with very few exceptions.

Just to remind people which films they made together (practically all the Spielberg films):

1974 - The Sugarland Express
1975 - Jaws
1977 - Close Encounters of the Third Kind
1979 - 1941
1981 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
1982 - E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
1984 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
1985 - Amazing Stories (TV)
1987 - Empire of the Sun
1989 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
1989 - Always
1991 - Hook
1993 - Jurassic Park
1993 - Schindler's List
1997 - The Lost World
1997 - Amistad
1998 - Saving Private Ryan
1999 - The Unfinished Story (Documentary)
2001 - A.I. Artificial Intelligence
2002 - Minority Report
2002 - Catch Me If You Can


BTW, why isn't Hitchcock/Herrmann on the list???

Sorry, but I forgot:

Alfred Hitchcock / Bernard Herrman
Frederico Fellini / Nino Rota
Robert Zemeckis / Alan Silvestri
Franklin J. Schaffner / Jerry Goldsmith

Spielberg and Williams

Zemeckis and Silevstri a good nom.

Quote from: SpikeFellini / Nino Rota

That is the correct answer.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

i thought about it for a few days, and this is what i've come up with...

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.
