  1. Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004) was an American composer of film and television scores, known for his innovation and influence. He won an Oscar for The Omen and composed for Star Trek, Alien, Chinatown, and many other films.

    • The Omen (1976) The greatest horror score ever composed, bar none, this is a textbook example of what a soundtrack can do for its respective movie, elevating it from schlock into grippingly portentous Satanic art.
    • Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) Despite the many glorious highs of the Star Trek movie franchise, its inception came with this somewhat muddled and slow-moving, though visually majestic, debut feature, one that fails to yield the warm responses afforded to later entries in the series.
    • Chinatown (1974) Amazingly, Goldsmith had only 10 days to compose his score (replacing a rejected work by Philip Lambro) for Roman Polanski’s classic neo-noir starring Jack Nicholson.
    • Planet Of The Apes (1968) Although Goldsmith had been scoring movies since the late 1950s, it was this revolutionary, avant-garde work (bearing the influence of his great mentor, Alex North) that truly established him as a force to be reckoned with.
