Mine are Randy Newman's Pixar scores. I really love them but it seems like everyone else dosen't.

I also enjoy a few Rabin cues from Con Air and Armageddon. But I must admit, most of his work is crap.

There are other scores that I can't think of off the top of my head, but I know that most of them are by the MV crew.

As for me, I fess up to enjoying Horner's theme to "We're Back" and "The Pagemaster" (even though the latter is a rip from Glory and the Land Before Time pasted together).

Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Titanic
Halloween
Dick Tracy
Shadows of the Empire

That's funny....I love and play all of those scores quite often! Huzzah Maestro!

Oh and anything Horner.

As a matter of fact...I recently found a Francis Lai web site and was surprised to find such a great listing of his film work with sound clips.

It would be great if someone else out there has any of his stuff from LP transferred to CD as I'd like to hear more of these scores. I have most of those Japanese SLC CDs that were done several years ago.

Kull the Conqueror by Joel Goldsmith

Oh, those electric guitars just SING on this score! Thanks most likely to the brilliant orchestrations of Nicholas Dodd .

Other stuff that I seem to like that no one else does (but I do not feel at all guilty about ):

Star Trek Generations (the best Trek score by far)
The Grinch
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (great Debney work!)

....and probably many more.

I dunno about the guilty pleasures tag. The scores I used to consider as a guilty pleasure I really don't listen to anymore. I think I've reached the point now where I'm more selective about what I buy and don't grab everything that comes out like I used to. I find myself listening to samples of the score more nowadays than I used to before I buy them.

But since this thread isn't about that here we go:

The Transformers Movie. I used to play the hell out of my casstte, been tempted to pick up the CD.

Armaggedon- starting to dislike this one cause it gives me a headache on most of the action cues.

Crimson Tide - See Armaggedon

The Musketeer - Not too bad, action material sounds too much like Arnold's Bond material.

Lion King - Songs are good, score a little bland at times.

Deep Blue Sea - I love sharks and score has potential, too much synth though. Would be better if orchestra played alone.

Top Gun - Still rocks after 16 years, wish the film version of the main title was on the disc.

Twister - nice effort, wish there was less electric guitar and a real choir was used though.

I never feel guilty about listening to Goldsmith scores... except perhaps SUPERGIRL. What a silly-ass film, but that score rocks!

Another guilty pleasure would be Horner's scores for animated films, I think they are often more fun and interesting to listen to than his music for live-action projects!

You caught me there. I bought Newman's terrific score note knowing what to expect. I'm glad I did.

The film sucks though...

P.S. I also really like Horner's score to The Land Before Time, and The Pagemaster.
