James Newton Howard scores "Wyatt Earp"

[@jslasher1]

One of the all-time great scores for a Western. Should have won an Oscar®,

[@AgeBetterDotCom]

Absolutely!

Beautiful majestic score.

This makes me think of my father . He loved this movie. Thanks Dad for all you where and all you give me. If I'm half the man you where ...

[@christheoharis2116]

The greatest music score of my lifetime!

[@johammerstein3605]

This soundtrack got me hooked on movie scores. IMO...The Postman is another great score.

James Newton Howard is undoubtedly one of the greatest film score composers and has written scores in a wide variety of musical styles. I can't believe he has never won an Academy Award for any of his films (though he has been nominated nine times). In his early days he was keyboardist in Elton John's band and appeared on four of his albums.

[@Eiger6]

I've always loved the movie and the score. I think it's JNH's best work ever.

[@bodyslamchannel]

Best score ever ❤

[@amethyst7084]

James Newton Howard's score really captures the epic scope of this great film, as well as holding the essence of what musical scores for westerns have been over the decades (even just thinking of excerpts of 'Back to the future, Part III' as a comparison). Bravo JNH 🎼👏🏾♥️👍🏾

[@jslasher1]

Yes, but what famous American composer are the composers of Hollywood westerns always influenced by? I will give you a hint. His initials are AC.

[@amethyst7084]

​@@jslasher1 - sounds interesting...who's 'AC'?

[@jslasher1]

@@amethyst7084 If you don’t know I am not going to tell you. Listen to “Fanfare for the Common Man” to get the hint.

Beautifully brilliant score.

magnifique film magnifique music

@SuperRod88 You gotta be crazy. This is ten times more historically accurate than, "Tombstone". It's an interesting look into the whole life of Wyatt Earp, and not just the events of Tombstone. I love both films, but this is inclinded more with what I love, and that's historical epics.

[@amethyst7084]

I'm with you there. 'Tombstone' is a more 'in your face' action-type of film with louder noise levels, and more over-the-top acting. 'Wyatt Earp' is more measured in its performances, and spotlights its female characters more too. Gene Hackman was great, and Dennis Quaid was quite literally outstanding. As you also mention, 'Wyatt Earp' has more detail about Wyatt's early life and his family.

[@rjmdrum]

A Terrific mix of a great score for an underrated film/

I loved this movie and the score was sensational.

[@ocarlson007]

Amazing score supprised it got no attention at all :(

[@jslasher1]

I fully agree. A superb score, up there with "The Big Country" and "The Magnificent Seven".

[@slimanlongstride2104]

the best ever

[@EssentialXL]

"And when you do hit, hit to kill"

[@rogerlynch5279]

It is an interesting score. Fun Fact: Wyatt Earp is practically unknown here in Germany. Just a handfull of classical Western Fans know about him here around. No wonder I haven´t seen the movie in this neck of the woods :)

[@amethyst7084]

You must see it! I saw it for the first time when I was in Canada in 1994, and then made sure I saw it again when it was released in England that year. It has a great ensemble cast.

[@jlvsjlvs7116]

Can anyone tell me where I can listen to the end credits to this soundtrack? I can't find it anywhere.

[@helenrealmadrid]

Parece que John Williams se hubiese inspirado en esta banda sonora para crear la de War Horse

[@romm28]

Tombstone is, in my opinion, a movie for children. Wyatt Earp is a great movie. Not perfect, of course but superior than Tombstone. I'll never understand that Dennis Quaid didn't win an Oscar for his performance, a very powerful performance of Doc Holliday.

awesome flick. way better than Tombstone

[@awriter4theman]

This is a great movie, great score and outdoes laughable Tombstone ten to one.

[@anthonycampos8057]

Then why did it BOMB at the box office? And by the way Michael Madsen passed on Pulp Fiction to do this movie and immediately regretted it. That pretty much says it all.

[@andrewwaldock]

@@anthonycampos8057 It doesn't say it all, in fact it says nothing that matters. What draws crowds is almost never a measure of quality. See Michael Bay movies & marvel. The popcorn munching mental dialtones such as yourself like bright colors and noise. That pretty much says it all.

[@allensaw1813]

Tombstone had better villains and a better Doc Holiday but I think I think Kevin Costner was a better Wyatt Earp and the music was better.

[@kevinmai3998]

Score was top notch. The movie wasn’t as good as Tombstone.

[@revlulu]

I think they were both excellent films. They came at the subject matter from different perspectives. Wyatt will always be my favorite western character.

[@amethyst7084]

I just live 'Wyatt Earl's over 'Tombstone'. I think it's the former film's quiet moments, whereas Tombstone doesn't have the same tranquil qualities.

[@Robster543210]

Much better than Tombstone, much better.

[@giuliogrifi7739]

In my opinion it is a good score, but not of the highest level.
