In Memory of James Horner

In memory of James Horner, who died on Monday, I wrote a post about one of my favorite scores, The Mask of Zorro (1998) for James the Movie Reviewer.  It's up here.

  1. Just last night, my mom told me she'd heard on the radio about James Horner's death. :-( He composed some of my favorite movie soundtracks, like Legends of the Fall and Glory and Titanic.

    1. He composed many of my favorites too, and I'm so sad that all that ends now.

  2. I was devastated about this news--his score for A Beautiful Mind has been a favorite of mine for over five years! :(

    1. I haven't listened to that one, Jamie, but I'll add it to my list of ones to seek out on YouTube or elsewhere.

  4. Aww. That's terribly sad. I've just been getting into his music too - listening to my dad's Titanic soundtrack and the Braveheart one (which I found at a thrift store, thought I'd give it a try, and loved it).

    1. I listened to "Braveheart" a lot for a while. I have yet to hear a soundtrack of his that I didn't enjoy.

    1. Good point, Tom. At least we do have what he's already written.

Agree or disagree? That is the question...
