Seems he died in a plane crash - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33235271

His score for Aliens was epic! - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000035/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Yeah just saw this myself ... there seems to be an awful lot of big names shuffling loose this mortal coil, of late.

Agreed - his score on Aliens was immense. It gets the adrenaline pumping like no other - that scene in the control room, for instance ... holy moly! :stunned:

For a movie that tried too hard at times, James Horner's score was still epic.

Nice article over at AICN. I didn't realise quite how much he'd done! - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/72035

Didn't realise he did *batteries Not Included - that's one of my childhood favourites. I watched that over and over and over again. My Mum has said that whenever I was up in the TV room and she was about the house, she'd smile and shake her head every time she heard that main theme from the movie emanating through the house. :)

^^ Great watch!


...and I didn't even relaist he did Lord Of The Rings!




Wrath of Khan - F***ing amazing score...

Um, I'm not sure where you got that, Neil.

Howard Shore did the score for the Peter Jackson directed LOTR trilogy.

^^ Ooops! You're right! He didn't do LotR! My bad!

No big, but if I hadn't just finished revisiting my LOTR DVDs(with all their lovely commentary) that might have given me pause. ;)

Now this score is pure Horner, from a favorite Science Fiction Film of mine.
