SplbrgWlms Oscar® Winner	Since I am partisan to the James Bond series and I cannot stop listening to it... I have to say that my favorite (best) score of 99 would have to be THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH. It is the best Bond score I have heard in a long time. I would also include THE PHANTOM MENACE, EYES WIDE SHUT, and SLEEPY HOLLOW to this list.

Cider House Rules -- Rachel Portman Honorable mentions -- American Beauty (T. Newman), 13th Warrior (J. Goldsmith), Durango (M. McKenzie), The Sixth Sense (J.N. Howard), Being John Malkovich (C.

Hector J. Guzman Oscar® Winner	STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE(Johnny boy) Since I haven´t seen or heard a lot of movies this year, I´m trusting in some people, and my own experience with maestro Jerry and his two epic, symphonic works: THE 13th WARRIOR and THE MUMMY. NP. Pops Around the World: Digital Overtures(John Williams/The Boston Pops Orchestra) PS. Since this is one of my last messages this year, I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Century, and since the world is coming to an end, maybe we´ll get a chance to meet in hell .

S Smith unregistered	Two I'd pick are "October Sky" or "The Legend of 1900." Those aren't the only two, but I'm trying to be different.

Scott Oscar® Winner	Gosh, how could I have forgot October Sky. Of course, October Sky. Ehm...Mr. Guzman, if the world comes to an end (which it's not), I know where I am going...and it's not going to be hell. Will miss you though Hector. Scott

Scorro Oscar® Winner	I can't say what is 'best', only what I have enjoyed the most and been inspired by. At this point in time, the standout of the year for me has been... For Love Of The Game (Poledouris) P.S. I doesn't surprise me that this wouldn't be other's top choice. What does surprise me though is the total absence of this score from people's lists.

Alwin Oscar® Winner	Let's see. I've only purchased 4 scores from 1999 movies, so here goes my top 3 (an arbitrary cut-off, I suppose) - 3)The World Is Not Enough 2)Deep Blue Sea 1)The Thin Red Line (The movie first played in'98, but the CD came out in '99) The other was Sleepy Hollow, but I just can't seem to get into the mood to listen to it. Any suggestions for a good listening experience?

Scott Oscar® Winner	Hector, Hector, I was kinda posting that tunge in cheek. Although I do know that Heaven has a place reserved for me. Not because I am such a goody good (I am after all human) but because of God's gift. Enough said, am in terrible pain gotta take my medication. Scott
