I read RFK's book when it was first released in paperback. The movie is tremendous, but I'm also fond of Missiles of October which covers the same territory.

William Devane was great in that. I remember watching it as a kid when it was first broadcast.


Martin Sheen was Bobby and what a cast in support of Devane and Sheen. 13 Days has the advantage of including declassified stuff that was not available when Missiles was made. Still Missiles is a top notch made for tv film.


Absolutely.

I liked this movie (and this score) a great deal, however it has recently been rendered terribly inaccurate by a wonderful docudrama I saw which reveals that the Cuban Missile Crisis was averted NOT thorough careful political maneuvering and back-channel communication, but instead through the efforts of a powerful group of mutants who were able to use their powers to thwart a different mutant who had been attempting to precipitate the whole thing in the first place.

THIRTEEN DAYS is still an alright movie, but it's too bad it doesn't tell the REAL story of what happened.

I had no idea it had even gone out of print.

Its gone for as high as $65 on Ebay for about a year.


$20-25 dollars sounds like a fair price, in my opinion.

I was finally able to snag a copy of this absolutely breathtaking score. The movie is a damn solid thriller but the score is easily one of the best I've heard since we rolled over into the new millennium.

Theres thick suspense cues (The Knot Of War) and absolutely gigantic action (There Can Be No Deals, The Death Of Major Anderson) and its performed by the LSO with a great attention to detail by mixing engineer Simon Rhodes. I really cannot say enough positive things about this score.

This may very well by my favorite Trevor Jones score ever. What does everyone else think?


Playing this for the 100th time and could not agree more with the sentiment stated above. Still one of the best of the new millennium. Jones' voice is badly missed these days.

I'd love to see an expanded release.

Why?
Current release seems pretty great. To me, at least.

To my surprise, the score finally popped up on Qobuz in CD-quality! I missed out on this when it got a release, in my memory it was gone very fast.

Now I finally got it. Yeah downloads! :-D
