:clap:  Very interesting!
By the way: "Enemy mine" is a movie from a german director named Wolfgang Petersen. Before he goes to Hollywood he had made several movies in Germany (Bavaria Studios) - one of his most famous movies (at least in Germany) is: "Die unendliche Geschichte" (based upon a novel from german author Michael Ende), perhaps this movie is also known in USA.

And to the problem with "moviethemes" aka "classical music". Yes, it is very often, that movie music use original classical works. I'm not sure, but i hear very often an american composition in films (Samual Barber - Adagio for Strings, often as derivate or only few extractions), most of these films fortunately are very well done movies  :) .

Original movie scores are often only "good to hear" if you saw the movie before, sometimes, movie scores are boring or make me nervous without the movie, they are written for.  :^o 

To me the best movie-score-componists of these days are: Howard Shore (of course "Lord of the rings", but also for scores of the David Cronenberg movies!), Carter Burwell and James Horner.

It's always interesting to me, what other people think about arts (to me a lot of movies are artworks) and take looks behind the curtains (of making art/films/music/theatre and so on...).

Thanks for the interview and sharing your thoughts, pangor  :)
