- Back to the Future’ Perhaps one of the most iconic scores on Alan Silvestri’s resume is that of 1985’s Back to the Future. This was one of many collaborations between Silvestri and film director Robert Zemeckis.
- Romancing the Stone’ 1984’s Romancing the Stone marked the first collaboration between Alan Silvestri and Robert Zemeckis. This film was a combination of action-adventure and romantic comedy.

- The Back To The Future trilogy (1985 – 1990) What else was going to top the list? Back To The Future remains the composer’s crowning achievement, not just for the mind-bending intricacy of its orchestrations, but also for how the series hangs together musically, motifs and rhythmic ideas criss-crossing each of the three movies.
- Predator (1987) The seeds of all future Silvestri action scores were sewn here. John McTiernan’s jungle-set action-thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger is a terse blast in testosterone, and demanded a tightly focused score to go with it.
- The Abyss (1989) Silvestri’s only collaboration with James Cameron drew out the best in him. The movie’s oppressive underwater environment, combined with its assortment of near-angelic aliens, allow the composer to paint in intriguing shades of light and shade, as carefully judged synth textures gradually give way to passages of awe-inspiring choral beauty, especially during the climax.
- Judge Dredd (1995) Sly Stallone may have made the mistake of taking the Judge’s helmet off in this much-maligned dystopian actioner, but Silvestri never puts a foot wrong as far as the score is concerned.
