The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

i also hunted high and low for the Bride of Frankenstein soundtrack.

i need to get the remastered TGTBATU soundtrack with the added songs, but i have yet to hear anything new from it.

I have over 685 Film Scores this could take all night so here is my Top Ten:
No.1 my all-time fav (and it makes me cry because chris is gone) Superman the movie 1978-John Williams.
No.2 (is a tie) Somewere In Time-Out Of Africa:John Barry one of best.
No.3 Jane Eyre by bernard herrmann (he is so underrated)
No.4 The Living Daylights:this was john barry's last bond score & it may just be his best after this one.
No.5 From Russia With Love: this is one and only bond score that really is most have,it's the best of best of bond films & best score bar-none.
No.6 Amadeus: sir marrier at his best,this is a most owned score.
No.7 Lawrence of Arabia: this is the 60's best film score period and maurrie Jarre best film score that you can buy in usa
(This would be number 8 if i had this score Jesus Of Nazareth is a uk only cd).
No.8 Star Wars ESP 1:The Phatom Meance ULT-ED
This maybe a shock to some but this one is john's must have of te star wars scores.
No.9 Schindler's List: The Film Score Of The 90'S
No.10 King Kong (1976): this is the most underrated film score of all-time john barry's hidden gem in a so-so film "witch i love this movie".

Well that all for now you e-mail me if there is a film that you think i should listen to that is worth my time i take film scores very serious,it's not a joke to me or my ears.
