Can anybody think of one composer who scored more than feature film about the same subject? Goldsmith did it with "In Harm's Way" and "Tora! Tora! Tora!", both of which involved the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Did Goldsmith do it again with MACARTHUR and INCHON?

In MAC, the part of the General was acted by Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier played him in INCHON.

Howard Shore scoring both The Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. Both films involve the search for a serial killer.

CE3K and E.T. are about extra-terrestrials visiting Earth. John Williams scored both films masterfully.

Jonathan Elias scored two films called "Children of the Corn" (one a remake), same thing. I think one of them had a co-composer.

Goldsmith scored HOUR OF THE GUN and was set, I think, to do TOMBSTONE, but couldn'tdammit!

I'm glad Goldsmith didn't score the 2001 PLANET OF THE APES remake disaster. He scored enough crappy movies.

Elfman produced the rerecording of Herrmann's PSYCHO in 1998, then scored HITCHCOCK, about the making of PSYCHO in 2012 (which, oddly, utilized the McNeely recording of PSYCHO in the film mix, presumably because it was less expensive than than using Elfman's own recording, which was done in LA).

Miklos Rozsa with Ben Hur and King of Kings.


Andre Previn recalled in his memoir seeing Rozsa in the studio cafeteria, his head in his hands, saying something like "I don't want to see that man carry that thing up that hill, AGAIN!"

I'm not sure if miniseries count, but Trevor Jones scored the Arthurian myth with Excalibur and Merlin.

Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter scored two circus films: 1959's THE BIG CIRCUS and 1961's THE BIG SHOW. (And actor David Nelson was in both films.)

Hijackers seize control of an airplane in both EXECUTIVE ACTION and AIR FORCE ONE.

And RANSOM/THE TERRORISTS (1975).

I'd count all the Ron Goodwin WWII movies, even though I don't think any of them go over exactly the same part of the war. Battle of Britain, Force 10 from Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, Submarine X-1, Operation Crossbow, 633 Squadron....

Don Ellis NY cops against mobsters featuring Roy Scheider AND Tony Lo Bianco - French Connection, Seven-Ups.

Jerry Goldsmith with ALIEN and OUTLAND.

Both films portray companies as human-less organizations that are after big profits through whatever means necessary--even at the fatal expense of their employees.

As you can see, this is a subject up to interpretation (and how specific you want the description of the plot to be). Personally, I wouldn't count sequels, for example.

Although they are about different things, I've always found it amusing that John Williams scored TWO films starring Jon Voight as the only white man in an all-black community struggling with issues (CONRACK and ROSEWOOD).

You could also argue that he scored two films about terrorist attacks (BLACK SUNDAY and MUNICH).

Or if you go REALLY general, that he's scored several films about WW2. Or several film about adultery. Or several films about presidents. And so on and so forth. But that's too general for my taste. One should pinpoint it to specific events or stories, IMO.
