Pop quiz, hot shots.
List your Top 12 director/composer partnerships - I guess for sake of having parameters, anyone who has worked together more than say three times?
I realise that a certain Mr Speilbergo and Mr Williams are going to feature prominently in many lists, so I'll kick off with my own list as that esteemed duo don't quite make it into the top slots! This is an honest list of my favourites, but I must confess it saddens me a little to see that it is light on non-American filmmakers, and features not a single woman! :O (Do female film director's and composers not build partnerships in the way that many of their male counterparts clearly do? It's an interesting question...)
In no particular order:
ROMAN POLANSKI and CHRISTOPHE KOMEDA
ALAN J PAKULA and MICHAEL SMALL
STEVEN SODERBERGH and CLIFF MARTINEZ
ANDREI TARKOVSKY and EDUARD ARTEMIEV
JOE DANTE and JERRY GOLDSMITH
WERNER HERZOG and POPOL VUH
ALFRED HITCHCOCK and BERNARD HERRMANN
DAVID CRONENBERG and HOWARD SHORE
TIM BURTON and DANNY ELFMAN
DAVID LYNCH and ANGELO BADALAMENTI
JOHN CARPENTER and JOHN CARPENTER (haha)
DARIO ARGENTO and GOBLIN
*EDIT* Goddamit - I forgot about DePalma and Donaggio!!
