Even if among the many Goldsmith titles listed there isn't a single one you want, why bother saying "enough Jerry already"?
Yavar
Because it's become like a religion on here. And if people from Varese really do frequent these boards I want them and other record companies to know that they'd have more sales from me if they stopped mining mediocre back-catalog Goldsmith scores and did some out of print Elfman or Goldenthal. That's all. Not trying to be inflammatory.
Fair enough. The thing about Goldsmith is he was so prolific over a long career, so there are a lot more Goldsmith scores for us members of his religion to need.  But Varese does hold a handful of good Elfman and Goldenthal scores in perpetuity as well, so let me join you in pining after Elfman's Dolores Claiborne and Hellboy II, and Goldenthal's Demolition Man and Sphere in particular!

In addition to these titles Varese controls in perpetuity, other titles people included were: Thriller, Freud, Chinatown, MacArthur, Shamus, The Man, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, Damnation Alley, The Don Is Dead, Supergirl, Mulan, The Mummy, Lonely Guy, the Barnaby Jones pilot score, and one person joked Crystal Heart (by Joel Goldsmith, not Jerry). Plus, a lot of people answered that they wanted "all of them," some of whom included specific picks in addition and some who did not. I think it is telling how much people want Starship Troopers because several people mentioned it even though it's by Poledouris and not Goldsmith.

RANKED:
The clear #1 winner: SMALL SOLDIERS, with 29 votes! I think Varese has gotten a loud and clear message about what score people want next.
In solid 2nd place, AIR FORCE ONE with 23 votes. (Some people wanted Randy Newman's rejected score to be included and some people didn't care.)
3rd place surprised me as I find it a fairly generic action effort and I had no idea it was so beloved, but I'm guessing the brevity of the original album is playing a major role in people wanting more: U.S. MARSHALS with 19 votes.
We then have a TIE at 4th place with LEVIATHAN and THE 13TH WARRIOR at 15 votes. (If the latter is released multiple people have expressed interest in Graeme Revell's rejected score being included.)
Right behind them at 5th place we have the first "Classic Jerry" score on the rankings: THE OTHER (14 votes).
The rest of the titles received under 10 votes each, ranked as follows:
8 votes each: THE MEPHISTO WALTZ and HOLLOW MAN
7 votes each: PLANET OF THE APES, THE OMEN, MATINEE, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, THE HAUNTING, and TIMELINE
6 votes each: THE FINAL CONFLICT, MOM AND DAD SAVE THE WORLD, and MEDICINE MAN
5 votes each: OUR MAN FLINT, IN LIKE FLINT, RUDY, and ALONG CAME A SPIDER
4 votes each: RAGGEDY MAN, LIONHEART, and LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION
1 vote each: MALICE and ANGIE
The only Varese-controlled titles which no one voted for were LOVE FIELD, CITY HALL, and MR. BASEBALL...though I would point out that in this thread and others, people have recently asked for expanded editions of all three of these even though they aren't as high of a priority as other titles.
City Hall Complete Score Breakdown (about 12 minutes of missing music estimated): http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=110759&forumID=1&archive=0
Love Field (not a breakdown but discussion of a key highlight cue which is missing on CD): http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=114459&forumID=1&archive=0
Well, this was a fun exercise with some surprises. Thanks to everyone who participated!

i've been all about small soldiers for this and I still am, but how about fierce creatures. that's a pretty amazing album that slipped my mind for a while. is there more to be added to it. a sound overhaul? it's one of jerry's best and a little hard to categorize for him.
Varese does presumably own the rights for any potential reissue, but from everything I've heard, the complete score and then some is on the existing album. Supposedly Jerry recorded some additional cues specifically for padding out the album since the complete score was so short. Does someone know of any cues in the film but not on the album?

By the time I wrote my response, Yavar had already written his. I've deleted mine in the interest of being slightly less tedious than I usually am.
Hey, I didn't find it tedious. Great minds think alike and all...

Varese doesn't control Fate Is the Hunter; years after they released just a few minutes in their box set, Intrada put out a pairing of it with Shock Treatment, both significantly expanded (if perhaps not quite complete; I'm unsure). Still available from their Amazon storefront, though no longer on their website for sale: http://www.amazon.com/Shock-Treatment-Hunter-Jerry-Goldsmith/dp/B00CBJSLY0
