	I love this movie, though I have only seen it twice so perhaps that's not a true assessment. I can't comment on the score though. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.

	149. Murder on the Orient Express (1974) - Richard Rodney Bennett This score had a soundtrack nominated for a Grammy in 1976; the other nominees were the multi-artist Nashville, Goldsmith's Wind and the Lion and Mancini's Return of the Pink Panther. Rightfully, they all lost to Williams' Jaws. The score was also nominated for an Oscar, along with North's Shanks, Williams' Towering Inferno and Goldsmith's Chinatown. They all lost to Rota and Coppola for The Godfather, Part II. Chinatown should have won, but, oh, well. I've seen this film and its sort of a playhouse presentation; tons of great actors all on hand, none of them really given the chance to do anything approaching 'acting.' One of Christie's better novels, I think, but Finney's wrong for the part. Regardless, I don't recall the music at all. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Don't remember the music, either.

	150. Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) - Bronislau Kaper This score was nominated for a Golden Globe, along with Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia, Meredith Wilson's Music Man and Waxman's Taras Bulba; they all lost, rightfully so, to Bernstein's staggering To Kill a Mockingbird. Nominated for an Oscar as well, along with the exact same slate, except instead of Music Man, they nominated Goldsmith's Freud; it lost again, but the winner this time was Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia. Never seen this movie. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Not only a great score, but one of the greatest score albums of all time: The complete score from the film, a complete alternative score, and album version of the score. Highly recommended. http://screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=4135 -----signature----- "This will be our reply to violence: To make music more intensely, More beautifully, More devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

	"Lord Jim" is also supposed to be good...

	Lord Jim wasn't that great, either score or movie. Peter O'Toole gave a great performance though. 151. The Natural (1984) - Randy Newman This score was nominated for an Oscar, along with Alex North's Under the Volcano and two Williams scores, The River and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. They all lost to Maurice Jarre's Passage to India. Haven't seen this one. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	One word of advice: Don't.

	152. North by Northwest (1959) - Bernard Hermann This score was nominated for no awards. This is, in my opinion, lesser Hermann (at least lesser Hermann for Hitchcock); it can't hold a candle to Vertigo or Psycho. But it has some high points; the opening titles, for instance, are brilliant and the music is perfect there. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	I used to think it was lesser. Then I got McNeely's new recording, which was a revelation, and now it's among my favs. -----signature----- "This will be our reply to violence: To make music more intensely, More beautifully, More devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

	It's a great score, and the opening credits are brilliantly done in conception, execution and music.

	Zaz posted: It's a great score, and the opening credits are brilliantly done in conception, execution and music. Definitely, it's a classic opening sequence, great music from Hermann, great titles from Saul Bass, IIRC. The score is awesome in the aftermath of the crop dusting sequence as the truck explodes. I also thought the score throughout the climactic scene on the face of Mt. Rushmore was great. -----signature----- Namaste.

	I'd like to go back to Murder On The Orient Express to express my love for the score. Elegance meets death. I'd certainly give this a top 100 spot. -----signature----- I am from the corrupt land of Illinois
