1.) The Time Machine - Russell Garcia
One of my all time favorite movies and scores. I thought I´d never get a wonderful edition of this, and then FSM stepped up to the plate, and presented the ulitmate edition. One of the very best fantasy scores of all time!
2.)Beneath the Planet of the Apes - Leonard Rosenman
This is a superb follow up score to Jerry Goldsmith´s masterpiece. And again an excellent release of FSM.
3.) On dangerous Ground - Bernard Herrmann
I applaud Lukas and co. for releasing this anyway, in spite of the problems the sound had.
A beautiful and haunting score by Herrmann.
4.) Mutiny on the Bounty - Bronislau Kaper
Well, this had to be in it. An epic, masterful score by Kaper, gets the release it deserves.
I wonder, if it is sold out already?
5.) Untamed - Franz Waxman
A terrific adventure score, colorfull and alive.

I compliment your taste with ON DANGEROUS GROUND. Have you ever seen the movie? You'd appreciate it a lot more.

Some of the ones I find myself listening to most often.
Omega Man. It's just so great.
Logan's Run TV. What can I say? I love the "byew-byew-byew" theme song and wonderful 70's tv scoring. Great stuff.
Jericho. Surprisingly good music from a tv show I'd never even heard of before the cd came out. Even though it's Goldsmith, I probably wouldn't have bought it if I wasn't in the charter club at the time but I just love it.
UNCLEs. I didn't watch the show growing up since it never played on my local channels, but I took a chance on the music and love them all -- even the Spy with My Face compilation, which I almost passed on as "too much" at the time but it ended up becoming my favorite of all the collections. Go figure.
Atlantis/The Power. Another I never would have bought if not for the late lamented charter club. Atlantis is just superb and I much prefer it to Time Machine.

Here's mine:
1. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland/Petulia - John Barry (what a dream come true to see such treasures released on CD).
2. The Appointment - Barry, Legrand, Philips, Walker (a HISTORIC release. Three different takes on a long-lost film? It sure showed that anything was possible with FSM).
3. Deadfall - John Barry (Barry's guitar concerto, in crisp stereo, plus alternate takes on the song, vintage 60s John Barry. A must).
4. Born Free - John Barry (one of the most popular and beloved scores of all time, Barry's first Oscar winner, two of them, as if it wasn't enough).
5. The Illustrated Man - Jerry Goldsmith (my first FSM CD, and what a gem. One of my favorite Goldsmith experiments).
6. Monte Walsh - John Barry (FSM truly treated this score like no other label would have. Yhe complete score plus alternates, the wonderful Barry saloon tracks, the source music for the wedding, and the various versions of the mama cass song).
7. Logan's Run - Jerry Goldsmith (The pinnacle of experimental Goldsmith. I love it. And quite surprised it hasn't sold out).
8. King Kong - John Barry (if it wasn't for the rights issues that avoided this one from being expanded, it would sure be on the top of the list).
9. The Comancheros - Elmer Bernstein (my favorite Bernstein western, couldn't miss it).
10. Take A Hard Ride - Jerry Goldsmith (one of my favorite Goldsmith westerns. Love every second of it).
Damn, I sure hope FSM gets to release more Barry scores. Getting such production values, film music might be the most quality-produced music genre on the face of earth, under good hands.

P.S: Sorry I broke the "five best" indication. There are simply too many good ones.

The Prize
The Thing From Another World
Raintree County
Kings Row
The Commancheros
Poor Benny didn't even make it into my top five. But like every one else, I could easily name a dozen more that seem to always be in rotation. To name just a few more:
The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao
The Time Machine
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. vol. 1
Pelham One, Two, Three
Wait Until Dark
Hmm, still no Benny.
Can't wait for Land of the Pharohs.

2.) Escape from the Planet of the Apes - Leonard Rosenman
This is a superb follow up score to Jerry Goldsmith´s masterpiece. And again an excellent release of FSM.
It's "Beneath the Planet of the Apes", by the way.
