We've really been losing the giants of film music in the past year - Michael Kamen, Jerry Goldsmith, David Raksin, Elmer Bernstein... very sad.

My favorite Bernstein score is definitely To Kill a Mockingbird.

That's sad. Loved him on Far From Heaven.

They are going to have a lot of tributes for these legends that have died so far at next year's Oscars.

His score for To Kill a Mockingbird makes me a bit watery-eyed, and his 70's/80's comedy scores (Animal House, An American Werewolf in London, Heavy Metal) are just awesome.

His work with Charles and Ray Eames was flat-out brilliant.

I always associate Elmer Bernstein with the early John Landis/John Belushi/Dan Aykroyd films.
