Angel ,'Shells'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Did you ever hear the "1941" soundtrack? That one is a lot of fun.
Heh-- I played the march, in both symphonic and marching band. It is one of the best marches ever. And the overture to The Cowboys is also fabulous. (As a French horn player, I loved playing anything Williams—he's always good to the hornies)
ETA: after a lifetime of Sousa marches... god, I love Williams' marches.
I played the French Horn too! and Sousa marches were an endless string of offbeats, IIRC.
Another non-Williams-esque Williams score? Empire of the Sun.

Jeez, it's been forever since I heard that one-- I was just listening through a greatest hits CD that I have and Sugarland Express, the main theme, at any rate, also struck me as being very different.
Whoa, I wanna see this.

Mind you, now that I think about it, other than Claudia, Little Timmy Valentine from Vampire Junction, and, er, whatshertoes in the first Anita Blake novel, I can't think of many other examples of vampire children.
I think a child vampire turned the guy who turned Genieve in Kim Newman's novel.
I'm amazed how many people don't know how to pronounce Elegy.
What do they say? Eee-legy?
the hard G is most common but I've also heard the long E and for some reason, "Ellery."
Even after a huge amount of buildup Tropic Thunder managed to deliver big with the funny. I was surprised to find myself the only one laughing at the Apocalypse Now refence in a theatre with nearly 200 people. They seemed to enjoy the surprise guest star most of all.
