    Nicolai, just pick something no one else did, and please don't worry about if it's the RIGHT one. There's no right or wrong.

    Soon I'm going to start tallying up the votes. I am going to ignore the multiple entries until or unless further votes are cast -- then I might have to include them (admittedly, many of the multiple entries make perfect sense to me.)

    It was suggested that the STAR WARS cycle should be counted as One score. That makes a kind of sense to me. What's the rest of you think?

    NP: OPERATION LATITUDE ZERO (Akira Ifukube) (NOT one of the top 100 scores of all time, but diverting enough if you like Mr. Ifukube)

    We never even got to a hundred scores, did we? (notwithstanding the oyabun's suggestions ...)

    The REAL millenium is nigh (according to the Gregorian Calendar) ... whatcha all think?

    NP: BABY: THE SECRET OF THE LOST LEGEND (Jerry somebody) (as heard on the 1993 official SPFM tribute ... MINE'S SIGNED!)

    I'll throw in a few:

    King Kong vs Godzilla (Ifukube)
    I must find the stereo version of this score, actually I've seen one on eBay that is a cdr taken off of the isolated score track on the Toho Laserdisc. Rocco is this the version you have been talking about?

    Jason and the Argonauts (Herrmann)

    hehehee, KING KONG VS. GODZILLA!

    Max Steiner's original KONG (which I listed up top) is one of the only film scores Akira Ifukube professes to admire.\

    I have no knowledge of this CDR, but if it was pulled off a recent laserdisc, then it should be in stereo. (The master print and stereo tapes had gone missing until 1991 -- they were found again only weeks before Ifukube recorded GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORAH.)

    The stereo mix is FAR superior to the mono, bringing out depths and textures in the music I'd never heard before.

    For those of you familiar with the American version of KK V.G and are wondering why we'd even rave about it, nearly all the original score was replaced by stock music from the Universal files for the American version. They dicked with the movie in any number of other vital and upsetting ways as well ...

    All the scores I would have mentioned have already been mentioned......

    NP: The Mitsubishi Future Building: Nature in Japan and the Japanese Dream [I kid you not, that's the title] (Akira Ifukube)

    Actually, it turns out the work is Birth of the Japan Islands which was the film showing at the Mitsubishi Future Building at the Osaka Expo of 1970 as part of their exhibit there, Nature in Japan and the Japanese Dream.

    Most of my personal favourites are already up there (e.g. Raiders, Sea Hawk, Superman etc.), but no sign yet of the following most excellent scores:

    ALIEN
    BLUE MAX
    RAISE THE TITANIC
    KRULL
    BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA

    Shrubber has spoken.

    Mr. Rocco,

    Looking through this new/old thread, I have to agree with those who say 10 votes per person, as well as the suggestion of considering some scores in blocks - the Star Wars's, Omens 1-3, Jaws 1&2, those like that - same composer in the same series. One per is pretty a pretty cumbersome way to get to it. I think having 10 will encourage meeting the goal of 10 over surpassing it with more. Then if someone puts out more, just count the first 10?

    Just my 2.

    np - The Iron Giant (movie)
