    24 Voyage En Ballon - Jean Prodromidés
    This score is just charm incorporated. Based on a lovely, playful theme that exudes a sense of innocence and wonderful, open-eyed adventure of wonder and beauty that greatly speaks to me. This is how travel should sound: it's the soundtrack to an Awfully Big Adventure.
    The Grand Voliers track may well be another entry of mine into the Singular Great Tracks thread, it really is that jaw-droppingly awesome (in the original meaning of the word).

    I'm slowly catching up!

    21 The Greatest Story Ever Told - Alfred Newman
    The polar opposite interpretation of Rozsa's take on the New Testament, Newman centers his work on quiet reflection and spiritual inspiration. A deeply moving score on many levels.
    There is a three-CD version available, which is great to be sure, but I heartily recommend the original album representation which is one of the most coherent and narrative representations there is, even (or maybe especially?) with Handel's Hallelujah chorus rousingly rounding it off.

    22 Thief Of Bagdad - Miklos Rozsa
    This may actually be my most personal choice as I have a strong, personal connection to both score and film, which was my late father's favourite. So yeah. A lot of bias in this choice. That said, this is easily Rozsa's finest oriental score with absolutely classic, outstanding tracks like The Harbor Of Bagdad and the incredibly moving Eternal Love (I really prefer the vocal version on Bernsteins FMC rerecording, but sadly it's not on YourTube).
    But while the Bernstein rerecording is very worthwhile, at the end of the day I'd recommend Rozsa's own rerecording with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, which is far more lyrical.

    23 Kelly's Heroes - Lalo Schifrin
    It certainly helps that this film is in my top three war movies, but even aside from that Schifrin's deeply ironic (and yet exciting and thematic) score is a fantastic listen, from the the whistle-driven march to the faux-Morricone standoff (with a Tiger tank) to the Burning Bridges end theme, this is a seriously fun listen all the way through.

    24 Voyage En Ballon - Jean Prodromidés
    This score is just charm incorporated. Based on a lovely, playful theme that exudes a sense of innocence and wonderful, open-eyed adventure of wonder and beauty that greatly speaks to me. This is how travel should sound: it's the soundtrack to an Awfully Big Adventure.

    (I cannot find a link on YouTube! crazy )

    25 Jaws - John Williams
    The greatest marriage of avant-garde post-Romanticism and neo-Romantic lyricism in score history. With arguably the most recognisable theme in the world. This score simply cannot fail to be in anyone's list. Even for a theme-fiend like me the atonal bits are so clever, so exciting and so well integrated into the album's 'narrative' that it's almost impossible to just lift out any cue. It really is one of the very best albums ever produced in film music history.

    26 Cleopatra - Trevor Jones
    A text book example of a solid album. Starting off with one of the finest themes Jones has ever composed which anchors the score, the whole album just goes from strength to strength. And interestingly even though there are tracks and cues and even entire scores from Jones I prefer (Runaway Train, for example, or The Dark Crystal), this is his most solid ]album that I always listen to all the way through.

    27 Stara Basn - Krzesimir Debski
    Some serious Sturm und Drank in this Polish epic. No idea what it's about, but clearly there are epic battles and grand historic events to relate and Debski, as a Polish Poledouris, with a deeply Romantic and thematic score supports this perfectly without any shame or reticence, pulling out all the stops to deliver a top-notch album.

    28 Casino Royale - Burt Bacharach
    Yeah, it's pretty monothematic...but WHAT a theme.
    I can't help it, I just really love this firmly tongue-in-cheek score (that incidentally introduces one of Bacharach's finest hits for Dusty Springfield).


    29 Dead Man Walking - David Robbins e.a.
    A rather left field entry, this oddball album which mixes a moody Americana bluegrass-ish style with even moodier Sufi music, with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan being present on most tracks. It really is a very dark, emotional score that will not appeal to everyone. But I find Ali Khan's wailing, that seems to come from the deepest recesses of his heart and soul, to be incredibly touching and effective. Not an easy listen.
    But then the film by no means was easy viewing.
    Very highly recommended.

    30 The Adventures Of Pluto Nash - John Powell
    Nothing very deep here: this is simply to me the most funky fun score Powell composed (and that's saying something!). I can't listen to the theme without it inviting me irrepresibly to listen to the rest of the album. Just one big smile all the way through.
    Incidentally I've heard the movie is absolutely terrible.


    IT IS!!!!! I watched it so that you didn't have to.


    Great choices Martijn. The Debski score is the only one of your list I've never heard. EDIT: I just listened to that piece in your link, very tasty! I want more.

    Le Retour de Martin Guerre......


    # 37 DANNY ELFMAN - SOMMERSBY


    The first time I heard this score I was stood in the now, sadly long gone soundtrack specialist shop 58 Dean Street Records in London's Soho on a baking hot summer day, it immediately caught my ear and I just had to know who it was, Danny Elfman's latest score I was told, after I recovered from my shocked surprise I bought it there and then. Up to that point I'd only known Elfman as the composer of fantasy films with a dark and quirky style that I didn't always enjoy. This score opened my ears to a whole different style from the composer, and one that I far prefer. Sommersby is a wonderful score, strong themes and melodies, pastoral, powerful and epic. A great score from beginning to end.

  25. ^ That is a very fine score!

    No 37

    Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) by James Horner

    The No II that pretended that No I never happened. They did everything right with this film. It is save to say that Nicholas Meyer and Harve Bennett saved the franchise. What a daunting challenge for enterprising young composer James Horner to succeed Jerry Goldsmith who had composed such a landmark score for the first feature film.
    As different as Horner's score is on the surface, if you look deeper you will find both scores not that diverse after all. (There is even yesteryear's Horn of Doom: The Blasterbeam.)
    It's Horner's most accomplished score in that particular style. In my opinion it is closer to the the music heard in the original series than the music Goldsmith wrote.
    The Main Theme and cues like "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" and "Genesis Countdown" have gone down in film music history. The score is lyrical, romantical, sweeping, it is as coherent as any symphony. One of the great symphonic science fiction scores of those years.

    I am talking about the C&C album here that has sent the original album into permanent retirement. Well, it probably has taken refuge with Thor. smile

    Two fine choices there.

    SOMMERSBY has been a longstanding Elfman favourite of mine -- a musical landscape he hasn't dived into very often over the years.

    Although I'm not particularly interested in the STAR TREK movies (although I've seen them all), the music is excellent. I've had the GNP album of II forever, and it's a treasure that I don't play as much as I should. Have no interest in an expansion, though.
    I am extremely serious.

    My pick:

    37. ROCKY IV (Vince di Cola)

    This is the Rocky I grew up with and that I have a nostalgic connection to. Remember seeing the film on a copied VHS shortly after it came out, and it became somewhat of a favourite at the time. Since then, of course, I've come to appreciate the first film as the only really good film of the bunch.

    I dug the music from the get-go, however, and remember making a cassette copy of the ROCKY STORY album which featured songs mostly from no. 3 and 4 as well as DiCola's score cues "War" and "Training Montage". I also copied the original ROCKY IV song/score album. Fantastic music somewhere in the landscape between prog rock and electronica, with influences such as Jean Michel Jarre, Yes, ELP and David Foster. I was absolutely thrilled when Intrada released a score-only version, although the film versions of the famous two tracks above differed somewhat. This is an extremely rare case where I thought a C&C presentation worked wonderfully -- probably due to the brevity of the album and the nature of the music.
    I am extremely serious.
  28. I have to say I know nothing of the music save "Eye of the Tiger".

    That's from the third film!

    Knowing how your taste in music is very much like my own (especially in this genre), I'll go out on a limb and say you'd like this.

  30. But it's also on the fourth soundtrack. You 're right of course.
