Jerry Goldsmith

I have never been a big fan of Goldsmith’s music, but I want to give him another try. Can anyone suggest or pm me some of his best score? I already have Wind And The Lion

You must be kidding how can you not be a fan?

This member is certainly more interested in Celine Dion or Justin Bieber 😀 😀 😀 😀

Bieber OMG NO !!!!!!!!

Goldsmith?

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Total Recall
Explorers
The Mummy
First Blood
Alien
Mulan
Gremlins
Planet Of The Apes
Forever Young

Some of my picks…

Poltergeist, Mulan, Alien, The Mummy, Timeline (Rejected), First Knight. I recommend those.

The Ghost and the Darkness, The 13th Warrior, The Omen, Planet Of The Apes, Alien and Mulan of course.

mulan yes, maybe my favorite for his!

I just could never get into his score as stand alone, I don’t know why. They work better in the movie for me. That’s why I’m asking for suggestions.

Oh wow, how could I forget The Omen. He won an Academy Award for that!

I like Rudy..

I’d suggest:

Poltergeist
Total Recall
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Mulan
Hour of the Gun (Tadlow rerecording)
Any of his expanded Star Trek scores

I was always a huge John Williams fan and overlooked a lot of Goldsmiths work. I have recently re-discovered some of his gems, largely thanks to this site!

My Favourites are:

Night Crossing – expanded
Star Trek: The motion picture- complete
The First Great Train Robbery
Legend
The Omen – The Final Conflict
Mulan – Complete
Planet of The Apes
Poltergeist

I would add ‘The Shadow’ to the list.

Goldsmith ? Who is this dude he is talking about ? Come on soundtracks are composed by real musicians like Muse who scored World War Z or Imagine Dragons for Transformers and of coure Lorde who is scoring Hunger Games III, Godlsmith, Horner, Howard, Shore…unknown for me, sorry…

(What makes me mad in real life is that I often hear that kind of bullshit in general media…Hell, the fact that a loosy teenage or popular group has a song heard at the end of a movie does not mean they scored the movie…).

My Goldsmiht picks would be :

Lionheart
First Knight
Total Recall
Poltergeist
Legend
Leviathan
Gremlins II
….

"In Harm’s Way," "Patton," "The Ballad of Cable Hogue," "The Wild Rovers," and "A Patch of Blue." And any of his collaborations with Joe Dante.
And is you really don’t like JG, here’s a little something for you to wear around the house.

Can you imagine that this member is giving us a chance to prove him that Mister Jerry Goldsmith was a great composer.

I am impressed 😀

I would add:

Star Wars (Jabba the Hutt was his uncle).
Contact – He was in love with Jodie Foster but she was in love with Venus (don’t know why) 😀
The Wizard of Oz (because Judy Garland was his mother) : follow the yellow brick road, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road …
Saturday Night Fever and Grease … (true that John Travolta was his son).
Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music (Julie Andrews was his aunt).

I am not sure he also composed the score of "Capricorn One", "Powder" …

Don’t forget Kull the Conqueror

First off, I never said he wasnt a great composer. He was/is a legend in film music. I’m just simply asking for suggestions

Don’t forget Kull the Conqueror

hmm, this is by the son of the master.

Yes, but you started your request with a condescending slap. "I never much cared for the guy, but I’ll do him a favor by giving him a second chance." That’s like walking up to a woman in a bar and hitting her up with, "Ya’ know, for a fat chick you don’t sweat so much." Goldsmith is a deity. Judging by the response, you appear to have taken a shit in the wrong church.

the bests ones for me are Patton, Total Recall and of course Basic Instinct

This member is certainly more interested in Celine Dion or Justin Bieber 😀 😀 😀 😀

This’ a bit unfair since The Fraggles sing so much better!
