BULLITT (Lalo Schifrin) Classic McQueen, classic detective, classic cool. This and PETER GUNN set the standard for music to detect by.

THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (John Barry) Barry and Bond expanded in the film that brought the series back. Great driving music.

RAMBO II (Jerry Goldsmith) Classic Goldsmith action perfect for getting fired up. Loved it when it shows up in Gremlins 2.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN (Basil Poledourus)
Solid Basil, one of his best.

BAD BOYS (Mark Mancina) What idiot decided not to do a commercial release of this one? Probably more copies of this boot exist than the majority of score cds actually sell.

CHICKEN RUN
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 (score)
THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123
ALIEN

with four plays each so far. Sometimes I pick CDs completely at random, though.

1) THE ABYSS (Silvestri) Terrific Predator-style action cues and wonderous "exploration cues", covered in my review.

2) HOT SHOTS! PART DEUX (Poledouris) Wonderfully straight-faced action comedy score. I bought it (like a handful of other scores in my collection) based solely on an audio clip, but WHAT an audio clip! Worth more than the six bucks I paid for it.

3) JUDGE DREDD (Silvestri) "Judgment Day" is simply addictive.

4) MOUSE HUNT - expanded (Silvestri...again) Not quite complete, but still a welcome addition to my collection. "Catzilla vs. Rodant" and "The Arrival of Caesar" (my titles) are some of the best cues.

5) OUTBREAK - complete (Howard) An excellent action score with tender moments as well...and I've never even seen the movie.

I must thank John Dunham for #4 and #5.

Edit: Anastasia is definitely a runner-up.
