I like the way Kubrick places classical music within his films and for me that use was brilliantly done in 'Barry Lyndon', especially when Lord Bullingdon walks through the mens club to meet and challenge his stepfather Lyndon to the final duel. Now was that Schubert?

John Boorman does this brilliantly too in Excalibur with Wagner's 'Siegfried's Funeral March' and Orff's 'Carmina Burana'.

An obvious opportunity for me to to choose 5 John Barry scores, since he is my favourite composer, but I will resist!



On Her Majesty's Secret Service (extended version) - JB's most varied Bond score.

Get Carter - one of Roy Budd's most atmospheric scores.

The Family Way - Paul McCartney/George Martin - small-scale but worked perfectly.

Spellbound - Miklos Rozsa - the score that first got me interested in film music, as I watched it on TV in the fifties.

North By Northwest - Bernard Herrmann - magnificent in every respect, I particularly like the main titles sequence.



Of course these lists can change daily, depending on the mood (and your memory). There are probably another 95 I could have included!
