    And while I’m at it, I tried to do the surrounding decades.

    The 1960s:

    1960  Psycho (Bernard Herrmann)
    1961  El Cid (Miklós Rózsa)
    1962  Lawrence of Arabia (Maurice Jarre)
    1963  Cleopatra (Alex North)
    1964  Marnie (Bernard Herrmann)
    1965  A Patch of Blue (Jerry Goldsmith)
    1966  Fantastic Voyage (Leonard Rosenman)
    1967  The Flim‑Flam Man (Jerry Goldsmith)
    1968  Once Upon a Time in the West (Ennio Morricone)
    1969  The Wild Bunch (Jerry Fielding)

    And the 1980s:

    1980  The Empire Strikes Back (John Williams)
    1981  Body Heat (John Barry)
    1982  Blade Runner (Vangelis)
    1983  Twilight Zone – The Movie (Jerry Goldsmith)
    1984  Once Upon a Time in America (Ennio Morricone)
    1985  Legend (Jerry Goldsmith)
    1986  The Mission (Ennio Morricone)
    1987  Empire of the Sun / Witches of Eastwick (John Williams)
    1988  Rain Man (Hans Zimmer)
    1989  Glory (James Horner)

    Again, the “two scores” indicate just a “flip of the coin” choice, though I tried to do that only if it’s at least the same composer.
