Mine too, along with Sir William Walton's "The Battle Of Britain" (to which Ron Goodwin admitted, after composing the replacement score, when he heard the Walton score he said it made United Artists' executives David and Arnold Picker look like idiots) and Jerry Goldsmith's "Legend" and "Timeline", and Thomas Hilshak prefers Brian Tyler's replacement score over Goldsmith's. Sorry, but Goldsmith's was the best.

That's a funny anecdote. Ron Goodwin had already scored several aviation or war films ('633 Squadron', 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines', 'Operation Crossbow', 'Submarine X-1', 'Where Eagles Dare') by that time, thus making him a good choice for 'Battle of Britain', but there was just no beating Sir William Walton, the king of Bri'ish music.

There are probably my most listened to reject scores:
Gangs of New York - Bernstein
Torn Curtain - Herrmann
Timeline - Goldsmith
Journey of Natty Gann - Bernstein
The Scarlet Letter - Bernstein
