Jerry Goldsmith - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan


For the record, this was composed by James Horner.  One heck of a score though and very cool to see it on someone's list.


Thread duty (and a few new wrinkles since this question was last posed):

1. King Kong-Max Steiner
2. Emma-Rachel Portman....though I could have thrown darts at her body of work and been happy with whatever got pinned, especially Cider House Rules.
3. The Ten Commandments-Elmer Bernstein
4. The Empire Strikes Back-John Williams (this netted me the Star Wars theme as well)....though truth be told, I love his Minority Report just as much.
5. From Russia With Love-John Barry
6. Star Trek-Jerry Goldsmith

Jerry Goldsmith: Alien

Those have made my "top lists" in the past.

Here are three scores that I love, but could care less if I ever saw the movie again:

American President: Marc Shaiman
Legends of the Fall: James Horner
Hook: John Williams

Hon. Mentions:
The Graduate (Simon & Garfunkel)


The first soundtrack that I believe I ever owned.
