There are many: Alan price's songs for O Lucky Man are wonderful. Also, Richard Rodney Bennett's Murder on the orient Express, John Addison's Tom Jones, and Alex North's Under the Volcano.

A fine actor with a number of impressively-scored movies (Murder on the Orient Express, Tom Jones, Skyfall, Miller's Crossing). Personally, I'd choose Julian Nott's doleful A Man of No Importance. Wonderful music. LOOKER

There wasn't much to James Horner's score for "The Dresser," but I was very impressed with it. This was one of his six amazing scores from 1983, and the polar opposite in tone from his brilliant and VERY BIG score for Peter Yates' other film that year, "Krull." In fact, when that Finney movie came out (I loved every second of his scenery-chewing performance, and his chemistry with Tom Courtney) I only knew Horner from his big, brash scores for Star Trek II, 48 Hours, and Krull. But this film showed me another side of him: quiet, restrained, and delicate. There are two moments that impressed me: an early scene where he starts a cue by matching the tone of a steam locomotive's whistle as it pulls out of the station (following Finney's iconic "STOP! THAT! TRAAAAAIN!!!" moment), and his adaptation in the end credits of a ditty that Courtney sings during the movie. Like I say, it's a wisp of a score, and not my favorite for a Finney film (that would be either Miller's Crossing or Big Fish). But in its restraint it solidified for me Horner's budding greatness as a real pro at spotting films and understanding that less is often more. Gonna miss Finney, as I do Horner. A lot. -
