Jerry the best composer in film music of history. unfortunately he left us too soon. The modern soundtracks that we missed these years
I wish jerry goldsmith will be reborn
I personally think that Star Trek: The Motion Picture is Jerry Goldsmith's masterpiece. All of his works are good, of course, but I don't think anything can compare to the TMP score. It is absolutely breathtakingly brilliant. It is an absolute crime that it did not win the Academy Award for best score.
Star Trek First Contact is a wonderfull score too. The music of the first contact scene is an Anthem for a real contact with alien civilization.
@@pablomartorelli4173, First Contact is a good soundtrack but it is not even in the same league as the TMP soundtrack, which ranks as one of the greatest film soundtracks in history. The second half of the '70s was Goldsmith's best period, melodic and experimental and textural like nothing else before it or sense, and TMP was the greatest of his scores during this time.
Star Trek the Motion Picture and Alien were released the same year. You can hear some Star Trek in here.

Thank you
Papillon, A Ilha do Adeus, Travessia de Cassandra, Freud Além da Alma, Poltergeist, Rudy, Eternamente Jovem, Dormindo com o Inimigo.....
Not '68 "Planet' but opening theme to '71 sequel "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" ,..
I'd put Gremlins 2 in place of Gremlins.
Despite being rushed, I think Air Force One's score is severely underrated.
Chinatown was his best film score hands down.
No, it was Patton.
Who cares?!? The man was genius! His scores are beautiful! I've enjoyed them all, no matter what place numerically they are placed!
To whoever compiled this, thank you so very very much for letting each song play at length
So many to choose from, however Love Theme from Chinatown is near perfection.
Man, the music for the Omen gave me the chills as a child, and it still does to this day! Thanks Mr. Goldsmith for the memories!
Один из самых лучших композиторов в истории голливуда. Мне нравятся его музыкальные произведения написанные для таких научно фантастических фильмов как чужой , вспомнить все, звездный путь.

Definite a great list of Jerry Goldsmith wonderful soundtracks and i am happy to own all this phenomenal scores !!!
To add the score to the Disney attraction Soarin Over California
@@deloysterns Check out "Fireworks: A Celebration of Los Angeles" also by Jerry Goldsmith which could be a companion score for Soaring Over California.
Great list.
I really like the score from Magic (1978)...oh that harmonica!
Wow. Such a talent. I didn't realize most of these film scores were composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Thank you.
Goldsmith composed flawless, superb music for The Swarm(1978) and Inchon(1982). He also composed music for the Elizabeth Hartman tear-jerker A Patch of Blue(1965).
Top 5 composer of all time....thank u Jerry!
Great performances of this genious master. I love all his themes masterfully performed. Long live the distinguished man.
His music lives on in so many iconic films💕
Star Trek: The Motion Picture & Poltergeist are my favourite OSTs by Jerry. Such magic, mystery, love and fear in both.
I totally agree with you.
What about Masada, The Great Train Robbery, Rudy and Jaws?
Majic of Jerry Goldsmith 🙏🙏🙏💐
Simply one of the best film composers who ever lived, we miss you very much Jerryx
@@markwaterman6350
Yes i am a big fan of him
From India 🙏💐
The Ghost and the Darkness Wow 🙏
My absolute favorite is "The Wind and the Lion". It evokes so many exotic flavors to its own epic contents. But indeed, it is difficult to just choose one when you have an entire palette of colorful and outlandish music Jerry did compose. Like John Williams and others before and after him, he was a genius in applying the right tonalities, rhythms, choral and exotic instrumentation to every movie he scored. I could name movies such as "Logan's Run", "Rio Lobo", "Patton" & "Macarthur", "The Omen Trilogy", "Damnation Alley" and indeed his many scores to the Star Trek Movie and TV Series franchise, just to give a slight flavor and taste to what Jerry Goldsmith was able to dish up during his very long career, not forgetting his various Jazz compositions for earlier movies. In my humble opinion, he belongs in that kind of musician's altar such as Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Miklos Rozsa, Elmer Bernstein and Maurice Jarre, just to cite a few. All groundbreaking musicians who knew how to fire up your own emotions while watching a movie. Jerry and his colleagues have left us with a plethora of magnificent music and a true legacy for many musicians and composers to come to learn from. And the story continues...
I could not possibly choose one single score as my favourite of his, that would not do justice to his immense skill and body of work. A list of my favs is probably his total scoring credits.
But some quick go-to scores of his if I need a bit of musical "me time" would be, in no particular order, The Mummy, Star Trek First Contact, Gremlins 2, Total Recall, First Knight, The Edge and Russia House.
Jerry Goldsmith was such a versatile and exploratory composer, I still get amazed by his scores time and again and still don't know anywhere close to all of them, and it's a terrible shame he left our world long before his time.
My all time favorite is "Sleeping with the enemy" theme. Watched the movie again, and the theme itself makes it one of my favourite movies! I also like the Mummy theme ☆ He has real talent.
"Dr. Kildare" Two minutes of sheer brilliance; arguably the best TV theme of them all.
Islands in the Stream. It has nothing in common with any of the scores on this list, but I stand by it. Islands in the Stream is simply sublime. And what's more, Jerry himself often cited it among his personal favorites.
WOW! Dumbfounded at the incredible scores he put out. Just awe inspiring jaw dropping music.
BLOODY CHRISTMAS FROM LA CONFIDENTIAL is the 2nd best score from KING Jerry however the BEST Score and scariest piece ever from any composer is Jerry´s OSCAR rewarded piece from OMEN! The most scary score EVER! RIP Jerry Goldsmith. Wonderful chart from you The TopFilmScore! 😁😀💪👍👍👍
Masada and The Wind and The Lion title music is brilliant. Hour of the Gun another great score.
I remember seeing Gremlins for the first time, and came away humming that score for days! Very memorable.
Impossible to pick just one favorite score by Goldsmith. 'The Final Conflict', 'Under Fire', 'The Russia House', 'Capricorn One', 'First Blood',.......I could go on and on. 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' though may be objectively his single greatest achievement.
Also add Bolero a simple Western with a simple melody. (James Stewart, Dean Martin, Raquel Welch)
@@not-fishing4730 Bandolero. Yes, Goldsmith's western scores were all very enjoyable.
OMEN still gives me the creeps. Amazing range on all his scores!
I like Coma with Michael Douglas. Exciting music in the last half!
My favorite movie scores by Jerry Goldsmith are Escape from the Planet of the Apes, In Like Flint and Breakheart Pass. My favorite TV theme score is Barnaby Jones.
Those flutes are amazing in the Alien soundtrack. Scary stuff
The Wind and the Lion.
Some of this soundtracks still standing between the 100 best soundtracks of history film music. Personally my favourite is Alien.
My Top 10 Favorite Jerry Goldsmith Movies are:
1. Poltergeist (1982)
2. Alien (1979)
3. Gremlins (1984)
4. Mulan (1998)
5. Star Trek: the Motion Picture (1979)
6. The Mummy (1999)
7. Total Recall (1990)
8. Basic Instinct (1992)
9. The Omen (1976)
10. Rambo: First Blood (1985)
The ghost & the darkness also good.
I'm Glad I got to see him at Carnegie Hall when he played there. Was Wonderful. I had the tickets to see him in Japan, but things got sour for me here in the states and couldn't make it. My Japanese friend sent me the program guide and peripherals.
No mention to the Flint movies soundtrack? I absolutely love it.
I got to see Jerry conduct the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra in the early 90s and he started off with the opening of ALIEN as you do here. Will never forget it.
My favorite Jerry Goldsmith & one of my favorite scores of all time is Secret of NIMH. It is so underrated.I wish it was mentioned
Alien. Best movie soundtrack ever! Added so much to the movie in ways the sound FX and visuals could never do!
Aw hell, what am I saying....everything Jerry did was spectacular! ALL of his movie soundtracks were amazing! He will always be my most favorite composer of all-time! Bar none!
And to not have 'Rudy" in this lineup is a travesty! Quite possibly one of the best sports soundtracks of all-time, period! I love this music!
I like the lyrics. Bless this house. Great family together.
Loved the Mummy score and most special is Ilia's theme from first Star Trek.
"The 'Burbs" is the quintessential example of tongue-in-cheek scoring, and while it might not be his greatest score. The man literally ripped himself off but in the most imaginative way possible. All of the leitmotifs in the film from across his previous scores were utilized to hilarious perfection.
Love your channel!
Amazed at the thematic similarities between Alien and ST:TMP. I personally partial to ST:TMP, but man, Patton is a close second. Totally dissimilar music, but both phenomenal pieces. What a talent.
Sleeping whit the enemy The Edge, forever Young,star trek insurrection(Baku village), star trek first contact ,star trek Voyager, first Knight, Supergirl,basic instinct, Poltergeist., Rudy. These are my favorites
A bit of trivia. Goldsmith was a student of Miklos Rozsa, a true genius not only in film but classical composition who taught at USC, Goldsmith was his most commercially successful student. He wrote a secondary theme for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV program but it was not accepted by fans.
The wild rovers-a lyrical western Directed by Blake Edwards in 1971.
"Under fire" is among his ten best. No doubt.
His score was the best thing about that movie.
The Secret of N.I.M.H.
Total Recall
Lionheart
The Russia House
First Blood (Rambo: First Blood Part II / Rambo III)
So many amazing soundtracks by the venerable Mr. Goldsmith.
Thank You!
I absolutely love the Star Trek: the Motion Picture score.
And Poltergeist is great too.
The original 'Planet of the Apes' score introduced the mass public to classical atonal music as well as 'found sounds' (not just sound effects). Bravo Jerry! Use 20th Century Music to tell the story of mankind's chaotic future - pure genius! *The* most original science fiction film score since the Barron's 'Forbidden Plant'.
There's a movie called "Forbidden Plant"? I think they renamed it "Day of the Triffids."
I'm glad you included Star Trek TMP, it's the most mind-blowing, fantastic, otherworldly piece of film music I've ever heard. And Poltergeist. And the rousing Patton march (which I think should be our new national anthem). But I think Goldsmith's Gremlins 2 was a better, more wild/crazy score than the original Gremlins.
He also composed two aviation movie themes not mentioned here... The Blue Max and Fate is the Hunter. Both fit their subject matter beautifully.
The theme from 'Escape from the Planet of the Apes' is not 'Planet of the Apes' but Escape has one of the best themes ever!
I was about to comment on this but you beat me to it big time! Lol! 👍
Nice selection. Thank you for putting this together. I would add Jerry Goldsmith's score for "Legend" and "Star Trek: First Contact."
I never noticed, but I can hear the first contact theme in Mulan!
The guy was just brilliant. It's difficult to pick his best, but I can try.
Poltergeist
Legend
Magic
A Patch of Blue
The Other
Sleeping with the Enemy
Rudy
Planet of the Apes
Twilight Zone The Movie
Psycho 2
Rest In Peace Maestro
Why no mention of "The 13th Warrior" and "Total Recall"?
The Secret of NIMH is one of my favorites by Jerry Goldsmith
Laughable having Star Trek:TMP at 4! Not only is it Goldsmith’s finest achievement, it’s one of the greatest movie theme’s of all time!
I would've included the powerful soundtracks of THE CHAIRMAN and IN HARM'S WAY among Jerry Goldsmith's top ten.
What is missed here is The Cassandra Crossing train yard scene. Still feeling the thrill today.
I really love the soundtrack for "The 'Burbs". I was hoping to see it on the list.
I like Jerry Goldsmith's music from Planet of The Apes, The Secret of NIMH, Small Soldiers, Mulan, Star Trek and Looney Tunes Back In Action the best.
I realize you can’t pick everything he did…but The Sand Pebbles should have been on here somewhere…infinitely better than Gremlins IMO. My favorite of all soundtrack composers… my two top are Star Trek TMP and Patton (which here wasn’t from the original recording… I’ve been listening to that for 50 years, so it’s kinda ingrained in my brain now, lol.)
This was more a smattering of famous and obscure soundtracks. Definitely not his top 10. Not even First Blood got a mention.
My favourites are Chinatown and Star Trek
incredible. lovely. can you also composer "Danny" Elfman
I love Secret Of Nimh, L.A. Confidential & The Illustrated Man as well.
The music for Planet Of The Apes was one of the riveting scores ever along with Rambo First Blood and Poltergeist 😊😊
😢what no Papillon, Islands in the stream, The Sand Pebbles, The Blue Max. Along with Patton, The Wind And the Lion, Alien, Planet of the Apes, Chinatown, and The Omen. That’s his real Top 10. In my humble opinion.
was wären alle diese Filme ohne ihn ?111
I love the score to the Flim Flam Man with George C. Scott. Pure americana.
I've always liked the soundtrack to The Burb's he also puts his Patton theme in there! But has the synth samples in there that add humour as well (like the dog barking sound on the main theme). One cool thing to know as well, the soundtrack for the game Call of Duty 3, the main theme for that - awesome, and composed by his Son!
Love CAPRICORN ONE and THE EDGE
So Many gorgeous movies,I like all american films
Being a Star Trek fan, The Motion Picture soundtrack is by far my favorite of Jerry's compositions and it influenced the music for the rest of franchise in my opinion. But, not on this list and I'm pretty surprised is the Medicine Man soundtrack. I often listen to the MM sountrack and just close my eyes and enjoy the ride. Such powerful, emotion provoking music. (The movie was pretty good too) The man was an absolute genius.
Chinatown is a great score to a classic movie, certainly worthy of top 2. Alien is a little underrated on this list i think.
Jerry and John were always the biggest Hollywood rivals and I always enjoyed Jerry's scores a bit more and the only maestro who fits in both their shoes is Howard Shore in my opinion.
Rambo 2 forever and ever!!!
God So many. Here goes.
1) Star Trek The Motion Picture
2) Explorers
3) Legend
4) Hoosiers
5) Rudy
6) 13th Warrior
7) Players
8) Great Train Robbery
9) Patton
10) Papillion
11) Every Single one that wasn't mentioned.
Amazing isnt it we are all here saying where's this score and where's that score from Goldsmith. The man was taking us on a Musical Education that I don't get with other composers.
How could you miss The Wild Rovers?
Джерри Гений!
A Top10 - hell a Top3 - without "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is meaningless to me... Am I the only one...?
The Going Up of David Lev is my all time favourite soundtrack from this composer.
IMO the theme to "Air Force One" should've been an honorable mention.
Sand Pebbles love theme?
Now, here was an artist of the cinema scores that had many winning scores in his time. My all-time favorites are "Patton" (1970) and "Star Trek - the motion picture" (1979). If I'm not mistaken, Jerry did also a 1962 movie entitled "Freud" that starred Montgomery Cliff, Susannah York, and David McCallum. Wierd but rather fascinating.
Goldsmith's talents also got him doing some TV series which included, "The Waltons" (CBS-TV) theme.
I agree about "The lion and the wind". But not enough western music! His themes for "Bandolero!" and the "100 rifles" are beautiful because they really fit the story.
Not to forget Lionheart, Hoosiers, The Illustrated Man, Seconds, Logan's Run, Damien: Omen II, First Blood, Medicine Man, The Secret of NIMH, Powder, The River Wild, Coma, Hollow Man ...
Pardon me while I melt into my chair (re: Chinatown).
I think (Papillon) is his greatest composition, do you agree with me?
MacArthur, Capricorn One and Tora Tora Tora
It should have been 11. Where is The Edge? I had a one-man survival adventure on Aristazabal Island on/off the British Columbia coast, and experienced exactly that kind of mountain majesty ... and potentially terminal danger ... which nearly got me about 6 times.
As for Patton, that one march completely turned around America's post-Vietnam demoralization. GREAT film. GREAT (George C. Scott) performance. GREAT march ... and soundtrack.
I am proud to boast of owning ,I believe,all the works that this composer published for sale in all formats!
Criminal Law with Gary Oldman. Score composed and performed by Goldsmith.
