The Twilight Zone, Planet Of The Apes, Logan's Run, Chinatown, Capricorn One, Alien, Star Trek The Motion Picture, Poltergeist, Rambo, Basic Instinct...and this is just a very SHORT list.







Jerry Goldsmith died today in Beverly Hills after a long battle with cancer. He was 75.



A man who was certainly one of the cornerstones (which include John Williams and John Barry among others) of film composing since the 1960's. His music went from sweeping to intimate in a heartbeat; that unforgettable brass and those piercing strings. We truly have lost one of the masters...

He was John Williams before John Williams was John Williams.
