Scores that didn’t catch me and that I should listen to more (some can surely find their way to the top lists ) :

Humanoids from the Deep
I Love You to Death
In Country
Jack the Bear
Name of the Rose (the)
Pelican Brief (the)
Unlawful Entry

Uh.....so I guess you two are pretty major Horner fans then...

You know, I'm not trying to change this to a Horner-bashing thread, but the "refinement" in Enemy at the Gates wasn't exactly Horner's for the most part...

Nice to see a James Horner discussion that looks at some of his strengths. I think he's one of the most gifted when he gets down to business. Though talking about a Mel Gibson project in light of the news lately feels kind of creepy!
