1 per composer. No particular order.

1) Barry: The Lion in Winter
2) Herrmann: The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
3) North: A Streetcar Named Desire
4) Friedhofer: The Best Years of Our Lives
5) Bernstein: To Kill a Mockingbird
6) Schifrin: Cool Hand Luke
7) Jarre: Is Paris Burning
8) Goldsmith: Under Fire
9) Rota: 8.5
10) Jones: In Cold Blood

My apologies to Bennett's Far From the Madding Crowd, Rozsa's Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Addison's Tom Jones, Lewis's Madwoman of Chaillot, and Myers' The Raging Moon. I'll stop before I think of more. Walton's Henry V.

In no particular order, and subject to change:

Vertigo
Ben-Hur
El Cid
Cleopatra
Doctor Zhivago
The Robe
North by Northwest
Alexander Nevsky
E. T.
Sleeping Beauty

Now I realize I'm probably cheating with that last one due to it being primarily adapted from Tchaikovsky, but I just love what George Bruns did with Tchaikovsky's music.

1: The Last Valley (1971)
2: Thunderball (1965)
3: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
and then ... in no particular order:
Somewhere in Time (1980)
The Quiller Memorandum (1966)
The Specialist (1994)
Enigma (2000)
The Dove (1974)
The Lion in Winter (1968)
The Deep (1977)

Of course, if I were limited to only 1 score per composer ... the list would be different! smile

    While this didn't make my top 10 list it would certainly be in my top 20 list!

    I should probably remove one score from my list and add Ben Hur or Bravheart.

    Here's my fluctuating Top 10 list, in no particular order, limiting one title per composer:

    Blade Runner
    Alien
    Escape from New York
    Conan the Barbarian
    Raiders of the Lost Ark
    The Fellowship of the Ring (really, the entire trilogy)
    Tron: Legacy
    North by Northwest
    Battlestar Galactica: Season 2
    Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

    I do love electronic scores but was still surprised to see that they took up nearly half of my list.
