A few months ago I started picking up some lesser known, maybe obscure scores (obscure to me at least).
Among these little gems are:
Three Wishes-Cynthia Millar
The Straight Story - Angelo Badalamenti
Sister Mary Explains It All - Philippe Sarde
Three Seasons - Richard Horowitz
Wings of the Dove - Edward Shearmur
The Sweet Hereafter - Mychael Danna
Lady Caroline Lamb - Richard Rodney Bennett
A Price Above Rubies - Lesley Barber
Last of the Dogmen - David Arnold
Mansfield Park - Lesley Barber
Stealing Time - Joey Newman
The Ring - Michel LeGrand
Bride of the Wind - Stephen Endelman
Thousand Pieces of Gold - Gary Malkin
Into the Arms of Strangers - Lee Holdridge
Some of composers were known to me - Lee Holdridge, Philippe Sarde, R. R. Bennett, David Arnold, Michel LeGrand, Mychael Danna, Angelo Badalamenti. The others - not too familiar. I picked up many for extremely reasonable prices on eBay, Amazon and in a few out of the way record stores. I am not crazy about all of them but some are amazing. As I listen to them more frequently, they grow on me. I am trying to give some composers unknown to me chance and I don't regret it.
Share your stories of those little gems that you happened upon and wish to recommend. Would love to hear them.

I don't think David Shire's THE BIG BUS gets enough love.
