Author	Topic: In need of more Goldsmith action scores...

Alwin Oscar® Winner	Its Boxing Day, and I went wild (for me, anyways) to the point where JG is now the most prolific composer in my modest collection. Here's what I have, and perhaps you can recommend some new titles: 13th Warrior Air Force One Deep Rising The Edge Executive Decision First Knight The Ghost and the Darkness The Mummy Rudy Small Soldiers Total Recall: Deluxe Edition U.S. Marshals Are there any other action scores I should get? Leviathan? Rambo? Chain Reaction? Thanks for the help, and Happy Holidays to everyone!

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Completely off the top of my head, and roughly in order of preference (I'm likely to think of others later) FIRST BLOOD EXTREME PREJUDICE 100 RIFLES THE WIND AND THE LION KING SOLOMON'S MINES THE SWARM CAPRICORN ONE (official release also includes the fine OUTLAND) RAMBO III BABY: SECRET OF THE LOST LEGEND INNERSPACE LEVIATHAN SUPERGIRL RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II CHAIN REACTION (I personally like this one, but it's rather similar to ones you've already got.)

Quill Oscar® Winner	Some more: Basic Instinct...some classic action cues on top of a stellar score. Congo...some great action pcs of a fair score Hollow Man...excellent action overall, although it starts quietly The Shadow...one of my favorites.

[Message edited by H Rocco on 12-26-2000] All excellent picks, Hank... But let's not forget The Challenge, which has some of Jerry's most ferocious action writing. This was a score for a film that came out in 1982. Not a bad year for Jerry. First Blood, Inchon, Night Crossing, Inchon, Poltergeist... Not a bad score in the bunch.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	God, how could I forget THE CHALLENGE? I LOVE that one! As for his impressive 1982 roster, you left out one other great one: THE SECRET OF NIMH! Which also has some good action stuff, albeit in a more Debussian mode than the others. What can I say, though? To paraphrase Brad Wills, "it's Goldsmith, it's catnip!"

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	Good luck to anyone who can find The Shadow, King Solomon's Mines or Rambo 3. I was kind of lucky to find all three of them.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	KING SOLOMON'S MINES and RAMBO III are Intrada releases ... don't they still have them at their own site? Along with their expanded NIGHT CROSSING? (Already having them myself, I never checked.) Footlights is likely to have them too. http://www.intrada.com http://www.footlight.com

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	Hmm! I check about a month or so ago and the Intrada website said that the cds where not available. I glad to see both those disc back even through not in wide circulation.
