Thank God someone mentioned Goldsmith, The Master.

I have several thousand soundtracks, or should I specify film scores--I probably have fewer than 300 soundtracks as most think of them (songs in movies).

My favorites? Depends on which day you're asking. But Goldsmith scores will always be among my favorites. He wasn't as lush as Williams (or as sappy), and his modernistic tendencies are just more appealing to me. The action cues in Papillon, Planet of the Apes, The Chairman are mind-crunchingly good.

Among my faves, though...

Star Trek-The Motion Picture (Goldsmith)

The Empire Strikes Back (Williams)

Conan the Barbarian (Poledouris)

Jungle Book/Golden Voyage of Sinbad/Ben Hur (Rozsa)

Ghost & Mrs. Muir (Herrmann)

Ghost & the Darkness, First Knight, Total Recall, Capricorn One, Under Fire (Goldsmith)

Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Guns for San Sebastian (Morricone)

Quest for Fire (Sarde)

The Agony and the Ecstacy (North)

Many, many more but my fingers are tired.

When you start a FR film score list, add me!
