Film Score Friday: Jerry Goldsmith Edition

Last Sunday was Jerry Goldsmith's birthday. He would've been 79.

Jerry Goldsmith wrote more great scores in any genre than maybe any other composer. So today's list looks a little like this:

Alien (monster movie)
Basic Instinct (suspense thriller)
L.A. Confidential (crime drama; really film noir)
Legend (fantasy)
Mulan (animation)
The Omen (horror)
Rio Conchos (western)
The Shadow (crime fighter)
Star Trek: First Contact (space opera)
Total Recall (action)
The Wind and the Lion (period film)
The 13th Warrior (sword and sorcery)

Even the Alter Ego doesn't usurp Film Score Friday.
