Desert Island Scores

I'm really tired, so this'll be short and to the point. These will probably be some pretty obvious choices, but as I said before, sleep deprivation does strange things to you.

1. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - JOHN WILLIAMS
No prizes for guessing this one would be first on the list. As it should be.

2. CONAN THE BARBARIAN - BASIL POLEDOURIS
Better than Lord of the Rings. No, really.

3. THE FINAL CONFLICT - JERRY GOLDSMITH
Better than most things in the world ever.

4. STAR TREK - THE MOTION PICTURE - JERRY GOLDSMITH
Better than THE FINAL CONFLICT.

5. STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN - JAMES HORNER
Not as good as TMP or TFC, but still a fine score.

6. JANE EYRE - JOHN WILLIAMS
Especially with the rip I have with Keisuke Wakao's track at the end.

7. INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM - JOHN WILLIAMS
The expanded version, naturally.

8. THE SEA HAWK - ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD
Glorious.

9. E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL - JOHN WILLIAMS
Utterly, utterly essential.

10. THE IRON GIANT - MICHAEL KAMEN
Cheers me up no end and then makes me cry.
