Chaplin My Life The Specialist Indecent Proposal I think some of his finest work is from the 90s. (Tin hat at the ready!) " It's madness" MADNESS!"

Chaplin is a great score. Ruby Cairo works as a series of variations of a single theme. The Specialist has that slow, seductive theme, some choral work, great suspense cues, and some action music. Could have been an oscar nominee if it was for, you know, a good film. The Beyondness of Things and Brighton Rock, which I saw only once, are right up there.

Gosh. I had ATSOT and thought it was a.bore. It sounded like a computer programmer devised a generic " John Barry score" and this is the result. Totally formulaic. But, I'm a 1963 - 1987 BARRYfan.

The Specialist. One last stab at Bond-like excitement. Agreed, I wish it was a Bond score! I wish I could believe you. Lol!

I'd be inclined to name The Specialist, with its awesome "James Bond Meets Body Heat" style. But there are so many superb Barry scores from that decade -- Scarlet Letter, Across The Sea of Time and the wonderful Playing By Heart (which Harvey Weinstein had thrown-out). To be honest, I consider the 1990s, on balance, to be Barry's strongest decade after the 1960s.

The 70s: WALKABOUT KING KONG DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER MOONRAKER THE LAST VALLEY THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS.... Music not Muzak! The 80s: BODY HEAT HAMMETT THE.LIVING DAYLIGHTS....
