And dat score...Originally Posted by Kevin Cleveland
Psycho was on late last night, too. Awesome. Hitchcock in a nutshell. He made better films overall, but this captured the essence of his suspenseful, eerie, as revolutionary as possible for the 1940s-1960s filmmaking better than any I've seen so far.
Leigh herself was so affected by the scene when she saw it, that she no longer took showers unless she absolutely had to; she would lock all the doors and windows and would leave the bathroom and shower door open.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_(film)#cite_note-80
The singular contribution of Herrmann's score may be inferred from the film's credit roll, where the composer's name precedes only the director's own, a distinction unprecedented in the annals of commercial cinematic music.
Dude composed the scores for like half of the AFI Top 100.
Wrote a paper on him in college. Dude was an amazing film composer.
Clerks 2 was on at the bar I was at on Saturday night. Volume was off but the thing was still lulz.
