- Comment My entry for #50 interestingly bookends Timmer's #1. While Timmer commenced his list with CONAN THE BARBARIAN, I'm concluding mine with a different type of sword & sandal flick - an Italian peplum. #50: URSUS NELLA TERRA DI FUOCO (1963) by Carlo Savina, on Digitmovies CD (2009). A thread ...

- Comment [quote][b]Timmer wrote[/b] No, I didn't get the new edition.[/quote] Oh - do you intend to get that Quartet expansion on THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR? Or have you no interest in the film's original cues? Just curious because it's one of your faves and you didn't get its most recent version. (I didn't get ...

- Comment Did Timmer get the latest edition of Legrand's THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR? How does the film's recording sessions compare with Legrand's album re-recording for UA records? Does this affect Timmer's choice in any way (lower or higher than Timmer's initial ranking?)

Love that [I]El[/I] CD on MAFIOSO and other Piccioni selections from '62, but I'm no completist for those soundtracks from Alberto Sordi movies. SMOKE OVER LONDON may indeed be considered an essential Piccioni title but I don't even ...

- Comment #49: THE STORY OF RUTH (1960) by Franz Waxman, on Varese Club CD (2003). While the Academy Award for best music score from 1960 was bestowed upon Ernest Gold's EXODUS, I prefer a different score for another similarly Hebraic-themed project: Waxman's RUTH. Part of my reasoning for this preference ...
