I'm sure there are tons of little gems I am still missing, but I'm finding myself with less and less time to listen to scores in their entirety. If you had to pick the top ten pieces from a year (any year) what would you include?
As many suggestions welcome as possible. -

What an interesting idea for a thread.
Would you want to do this like Alan's thread (taking it year by year, moving on in a structured fashion)?
Or would you like to see anyone just throwing out anything (with a bit of a risk that you get massive posts that include 10 picks for every year over the last eighty years with reviews and alternates; not to mention a lot of doubles)?'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

I say we take the risk any pick any year of your choice.
I want to try and make "years in film music" CD's to have in the car, but I don't have the time to listen to everything that comes out now, so I end up with a CD with music from only about five different scores.
It would be interesting to see if the majority of pieces were also liked by the general public. -

I approve of this thread. I'm mostly a single cue guy, rather than a full album guy myself.
To pick a random year: 1990. Here's my top10 ->
1) Ennio Morricone - Ship hunters - Ship hunters
2) Danny Elfman - Edward Scissorhands - The grand finale
3) Jerry Goldsmith - Gremlins II - Gremlins credits
4) Basil Poledouris - Quigley down under - Main title
5) Jerry Goldsmith - The russia house - Katya
6) Basil Poledouris - The hunt for red october - Hymn to Red October
7) John Williams - Home alone - Star of Bethlehem
8) John Barry - Dances with wolves - The buffalo hunt
9) Alex North - The last butterfly - End title
10) John Williams - Presumed innocent - Presumed innocent
I had to leave out tons of amazing cues. Don't want to spend ages writing an 'honorable mentions' list though.

I assume it's the third part titled Back to Bed on the LLLR release; they edited together three tracks into one apparently. And then made the CD shorter than the boot (which itself was incomplete).

This is where I would begin my journey. This newer recording for this 1922 silent film is a must have for your collection. I think it was the last thing that Bernard did.
