So why didn't this win best score? I don't even think it was even nominated.

De Palma & Donaggio are my jam. AMA.
Ayden Russell
Because it was nothing compared to that year's winner
Isaac Roberts
A lot of De Palma's films have really, really great scores, to the point that it's honestly surprising that this stuff was composed for these films. He's an interesting filmmaker. Most of his work could definitely be called "trash" but he's got a really beautiful, classical, high-minded aesthetic when it comes to visuals and music
Thomas Perez
Wrong year, it was the year after that. Which is even WORSE because it's fucking Fame of all things, the High School Musical of its day.
Jaxon Ortiz
have you seen Redacted? not enough people talk about that movie.
and yes his soundtracks, especially with Donaggio, are phenomenal:

Yeah, I mean Snake Eyes was trash but at least the score was good?

Nothing pisses me off more than '07s AA
How is this youtube.com
better than this youtube.com
or this youtube.com
And they had just GIVEN that fucking tool an Oscar... THE PREVIOUS YEAR. For fucking BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
What a bankrupt institution. I am sure the politics of these movies had nothing to do with their noms or wins. That would be PREPOSTEROUS.

dude that's no where near as good as Dressed to Kill's theme. This shit sounds hokey as fuck.

I haven't seen Redacted, I'll check it out. I actually haven't seen anything he's done since Snake Eyes. I've heard Femme Fatale is worth a watch too
Colton James
They're both shit compared to youtube.com
James Scott
The politics had nothing to do with it. The movie was actively marketed to academy voters with dinners, gifts, etc. The Oscars are a corrupt joke, it doesn't even need Sup Forumstier conspiracy theories about Jews or SJWs because it's transparently a corrupt cash grab cloaked in phony prestige.
Wyatt Reed
Femme Fatale is Mulholland Drive level good. It's almost unbelievable what it manages to achieve aesthetically and narratively. it'll knock your fucking socks off.
I'm one of the 5 people that absolutely loves Passion too.
Redacted is a punch to the gut. It's a pretty gruelling watch, but it might be a bit too dated now. It's best not to read anything about it and go in blind. It was one of Cahiers du Cinemas Top 5 films of the year that year.
Juan Collins
Cheers. I'll go for Femme Fatale first, and wait till I'm in the right mood for Redacted
What about The Black Dahlia, is it as bad as everyone says? Seemed like a great choice of subject matter for De Palma
Henry Barnes
lol I think I subconsciously blocked out Black Dahlia for a reason.
Along with Bonfire of the Vanities it's by far the worst thing he's done. From the opening scenes you can immediately tell something is off. The rhythm just isn't there and it's hobbled by dull narration and characters.
It's worth watching for his usual stylistic ticks and recurring thematic obsessions, but it never really comes alive. Most importantly it doesn't push any boundaries, which is usually what makes a De Palma worth its salt.
The Fury is also pretty patchy and disappointing.
Chase Thomas
oh and check out the recent De Palma-approved fan edit of Raising Cain! That movie is the shit.
Jason Morgan
Best De Palma score is Morricone's from The Untouchables.
Nathaniel James
I agree but I unironically think Blow Out and Body Double are incredible works
Jose Bailey

DON'T DO IT
Jason Brooks
Agreed 100% even though I'm the one that called them "trash." I didn't really mean that as a negative, I love his movies. But there's definitely a sleazy, pervy quality to his work that I don't really know how else to describe.
I'd add Phantom of the Paradise to your list too, at the very least, it's unlike any other film. Sisters, Carrie, and Dressed to Kill are also essential
