There was a thread like this over at MMUK. Here some of what I posted: Ones that weren't bad, but I thought another composer would have been interesting: Spider-Man - Scott Gilman Spider-Man 2 - Joseph LoDuca Troy - Robert Duncan Ghostbusters 2 - Elmer Bernstein The Chronicles of Riddick - Joseph LoDuca Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls - Chrsitopher Tyng Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - Shirley Walker The 13th Warrior - Dennis McCarthy Ones I have not heard, but here my alternate choices: The Fogotten - Mark Snow Alexander - Gabriel Yared (I've since heard it; no great shakes) Blade Runner - Jerry Goldsmith Ones that were bad and needed to be rescored: Star Trek: Nemesis - Joel Goldsmith Pirates of the Carribean 1 - Alan Silvestri Mission: Impossible 2 - Christopher Tyng TV Series: Enterprise - Ron Jones LOST - Tony Morales LOST - Thomas Wanker Quantum Leap - Mike Post, all seasons. (NOT to impune Velton Ray Bunch's work!!!) The X-Files - Thomas Wanker. Would have been interesting indeed. "Screwed", with a score by the late Michael Colombier. I can't help but think how this really a unintreresting score that didn't fit the movie. This job should have been for David Newman. The Witness -- James Newton Howard The Interpreter -- Velton Ray Bunch What Dreams May Come -- David Williams Any Harry Potter movie -- Gabriel Yared FX 2 -- Bill Conti Lucky Numbers -- Ira Newborn of David Newman Night At the Museum -- Christopher Stone Star Wars -- John Scott could have done this easily. Legend -- Mark Snow Groundhog Day -- Jerry Goldsmith Stardust -- Michael Kamen, if he was still alive. "Scrubs" (TV) -- Danny Lux Sahara -- Basil Poldouris, Christopher Tyng, Joel Goldsmith... The Hitchhicker's Guide To the Galaxy -- James L. Venable Curious George -- Bruce Broughton Blizzard -- Alan Silvestri Aeon Flux -- Christopher Tyng Red Eye -- Jerry Goldsmith Iron Man -- Basil Poledouris Enchanted -- Richard Hartley "Dirty Harry" (Frank DeVol) "Planet of the Apes" (Frank DeVol) Elmer Bernstein - Ghostbusters II Edelman's effort left much, very much to be desired, especially in the wake of Bernstein's fantastic score. A sequel score would have given new material, and a chance to bring back themes from the previous film, like Peter's theme and the Ghostbusters' theme. Elmer Bernstein - Top Secret! Jarre's score is a very overrated effort, and mickey mousing. Hard to imagine why the Varese Club CD sold out. Bernstein could have done a terrific job. Bill Conti would have also been an interesting choice. Jerry Goldsmith - Jumangi Imagine some "First Blood" mixed with some "Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend" and add some "The Ghost and the Darkness" and we could have gotten a hell of a score. Bruce Broughton - Harry Potter: Goblet Fire / Order Of The Phoenix "The Water Horse" -- Georges Delerue "Planes" (Carl Johnson) "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (Rachel Portman) "The Twilight Saga" (any sequel, Tyler Bates. That way we know for sure we'll be disappointed in advance, and free up Burwell to do something better) "Life of Pi" (Gabriel Yared) "Rise of the Guadians" (Robert Folk) "Red Dawn" (remake; Zoe Poledouris. why not try it?) "Ashes" (David Shire) "Wreck-It Ralph" (Christopher Tyng; the director has worked on "Futurama" -- give Tyng a chance) "Stoker" (Wojciech Kilar) "Lidsville" (Alf Clausen) And I'd like to give a 2013 update: Gabried Yared would have been a great choice for "Romeo and Juliet".

I wish Bernard Herrmann had scored PORTRAIT OF JENNIE, instead of just supplying the tune for the little song she sings... And Herrmann could have added brilliant depth to THE EXORCIST, which he was actually consulted about scoring, but it didn't happen. Cryin' shame.... Would have taken that picture into a completely different dimension.

Bernard Herrmann STRANGERS ON A TRAIN SHADOW OF A DOUBT Miklos Rozsa LAWRENCE OF ARABIA Franz Waxman DOCTOR ZHIVAGO Elmer Bernstein BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID ON GOLDEN POND ORDINARY PEOPLE Alfred Newman RYAN'S DAUGHTER George Delerue TERMS OF ENDEARMENT What's amazing is how many movies got just the right composer (THE SEA HAWK, GONE WITH THE WIND, CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE, THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR, THE EGYPTIAN, THE NUN'S STORY, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, BEN-HUR, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, THE OMEN, and on and on).

Nothing against Maestro Morricone, but I'd have loved to hear Poledouris' take on Red Sonja. But,....but, .....but i really like Morricone's score !

It already got that trivial synth treatment, only it was by Tangerine Dream.
