Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Granddaddy of the Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures is rightfully proud of its century of contributions to both American cinema and the art of film scoring. But the first disc of this 43-track double-CD anthology merely hints at the studio's musical peaks, blithely skipping through its first seven decades in just 17 tracks. Indeed, the package as a whole seems more interested in marketing its post-'70s catalog of hits and blockbusters than it does in paying real homage to history and roots. Even rarities like Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend are served up via modern budget-line rerecordings, as is Ennio Morricone's epochal Once upon a Time in the West). Contemporary recordings of Aaron Copland's rare score to The Heiress and Franz Waxman's great Sunset Blvd. fare better, but soundtrack fans may miss the originals. The studio's rich pop-crossover successes in the '60s are documented via Breakfast at Tiffany's "Moon River" and excerpts from Romeo and Juliet and Love Story, while successful franchises like Star Trek and Raiders also get their due. Too often the '90s-focused second disc only underscores some uncomfortable trends in contemporary scoring--orchestral nervous tics punctuated by booming crescendos, treacly piano Muzak--and makes one wonder if the music of The Rugrats Movie and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider are really film music milestones. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Mostly Original Soundtracks Makes This a Worthwile Buy.......2004-12-09

All but 2 of the songs here are original soundtracks ("Alfie" is sung by Dionne Warwick, not Cher as in movie; "Flashdance" is sung by Irene Cara, but not the version from the film). For the reviewer who wanted all the instrumental tracks, there's a whole other CD of just scores, called "Paramount Pictures 90th Anniversary Memorable Scores". This one IS called "Paramount Pictures 90th Anniversary Memorable Songs" for a reason, with songs representing the studio's entire history. If anything, there are too many songs from recent films, far from classics, such as "Tomb Raider" and "Save the Last Dance" ... how can they put those alongside "Saturday Night Fever" and Sinatra??? Still, a mostly great collection if you don't already have the individual albums.

4 out of 5 stars OK, but could be Better.......2003-09-11

This compilation could be better if these are also included: Axel F (instrumental track from Beverly Hills Cop), Forrest Gump (piano), Love Story (piano), Top Gun Anthem, Titanic Anthem, Flasdance Love Theme, and Grease instead of Tomb Rider, All The Way, Thanks for The Memory, or Que Sera Sera (at least my mind told me those songs are more memorable). It also sounds odd to mix oldies with songs from 70's, 80's or 90's. Come on Paramount, you can make it better (in 2-CD's if necessary).

5 out of 5 stars Solid Collection.......2002-08-21

I think Paramount got it right here.these Songs truly hold there own in film&on Disc to me.the music here covers a Good time period&captures different Era's rather well to me fully.a Solid Collection.
