Reply To: The Best Scores by Basil Poledouris

Half a year ago I rewatched ROBOCOP and actually disliked the score. The main theme rather annoyed me. Also HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER doesn’t do much for me.

I absolutely love the ROBOCOP theme, but the rest of the score leaves me cold (lots of metallic clanging and buzzing). Similarly, I love the Russian anthem in HUNT FOR THE RED OCTOBER, but the rest – mostly suspense music – doesn’t do much for me. So I suppose both of those would have qualified for your thread about “soundtracks where you only like one track”. I’ve owned both of these on CD, but have since traded them away. For once, not really something I regret very much.
