I recently purchased HOMEWORD BOUND & LONESOME DOVE from Intrada. Besides being excellent scores they made a perfect pair for back-to back listening. A "double-feature" if you will (you youngsters probably do not remember a time when you could see two different films for the price of one). Actually most of my record collection is arranged in this fashion. Naturally, I group composers with many titles together, but for individual titles/composers I like for them to go together. Here are some of my shelf groupings: ALTERED STATES/FANTASTIC VOYAGE OUTER LIMITS/TWILIGHT ZONE BLADE RUNNER/A CLOCKWORK ORANGE HILLARY AND JACKIE/MOTHER NIGHT SERPICO/DIRTY HARRY Any other people have ideas for a soundtrack double-feature; two titles, two composers?

I think this is a fun topic, Bruce. Come on, members, give pragmatic pairings or "once a great notion" BIG dreaming duos. I like to pair Bernstein's Big Jake with Poledouris' homage in Quiqley Down Under. I'd like to pair my Sleepless in Seattle CD with An Affair To Remember CD if there was such a CD of AATR. Ah, dream big. Let's have FSM put out a four disc CD of Quo Vadis and Spartacus for $19.99. I promise to play those back to back. Thanks Joan! You saved me from the ultimate humiliation: zero responses>

I thought of one randomly on my drive to work yesterday: NEVADA SMITH by Alfred Newman & THE CARPETBAGGERS by Elmer Bernstein.

Are you asking for actual soundtracks placed side by side or fanciful pairings (that may never exist) we make up? For example: HARVEY/WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT BALL OF FIRE/SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS APOLLO 13/THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUT I think you get the picture.

Lalo Schifrin's THX 1138 and Jerry Goldsmith's Logan's Run? Elmer Bernstein's The Magnificent Seven & Fred Karlin's Westworld?

For example: HARVEY/WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT BALL OF FIRE/SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS APOLLO 13/THE RELUCTANT ASTRONAUT I think you get the picture. No, actual soundtracks. They can complement each other for any reason you think of: style of music, film genre etc. For example: FANTASTIC VOYAGE & ALTERED STATES are both scence-fiction films with modernistic, avant-garde music. BLADE RUNNER & CLOCKWORK ORANGE feature synth scores(not to mention bleak looks at the future!) OUTER LIMITS & TZ are both tv shows with sci-fi and fantasy elements HILLARY & JACKIE & MOTHER NIGHT feature music by modern classical composers (Elgar & Part) plus original music. LONESOME DOVE & HOMEWORD BOUND feature symphonic music with a feel for the great outdoors(and the plots both feature a long, arduous journey) Bruce Marshall

Yeah but some films - that arent connected - lend themselves to a pair - and just happen to have the same composer, right?

Yeah but some films - that arent connected - lend themselves to a pair - and just happen to have the same composer, right? The concept: A hypothetical double feature that has two films and two scores - by different composers- that make a good pairing. "Think Otis, Think!" Brm
