Can we get some love for James Newton Howard?


I've been addicted to the music in the Orange Man scene lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqXjr46CZVw His music always elevates Night's films so much, particularly the endings, making them so emotionally satisfying! Even the bad ones like The Happening and Last Airbender had great scores. I hope they'll collaborate again soon.

I couldn't agree more!
James's score for "Unbreakable" is literally perfect. I absolutely love the music and I listen to it all the time. It's amazing.

100%! The musical score for Unbreakable is riveting and one of James’ finer works. I would go as far as to call it one of the greatest film scores ever made.

While there is no need for me to tell you that this film is special in many ways, James’ hauntingly beautiful score elevates it to higher levels. Every piece of music is impeccably used and leaves a lasting impression.

If there is one particular track that I’m obsessed with myself, it’s “Visions.” Hearing it at the end of Split just brings those feels and it amps me up every time. All in all, Unbreakable’s score is a masterwork.

He did this, the fugitive, helped score Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, worked on Major League and did 2005's King Kong.

NOTHING but love for him!
