I know, I know, Dinosaur and Waterworld should be near the top of the list. I have the former, thinking about the latter.But anything else worth buying?
Thanks for all the help with JG and now JNH. I'm ever so slowly expanding my horizons...

Well, it counts on what type of music you want. Did you want similar music, or just any good JNH score?
An small list of good JNH scores IMO are,
Devil's Advocate
The Fugitive
Grand Canyon
Outbreak
The Postman
The Prince of Tides
The Sixth Sense
Snow Falling on Cedars
Wyatt Earp - OOP though!

Well, since I'm not great at picking up complex underscore as some of you other people are, I'd prefer LOUD, and simple action music. Its gotta catch my attention as well as function well as a CD.Thanx,

I know you would prefer loud action music, so I will wholeheartedly recommend Snow Falling on Cedars. Why?one word: "Tarawa"

Find Outbreak. A great JNH action score. The album is missing a lot of exciting music composed for the film, but the last two tracks feature Howard's kinetic action/suspense writing at its best- they make it worth the price.

I would recommend these 3:
Wyatt Earp, can be bought on ebay (copy for sale right now)
The Postman, in print and easy to find
Alive, also can be found on ebay, varies in price
Anyone interested in JNH should have all 3, IMHO.

IIRC, there is a copy in one of my local stores' used bins.
I can go buy it if some one is willing to re-imburse me the cost + shipping to you.
