yeah i have just heard of him today. I never heard of him. i found out that he was the one who composed the Star Trek theme. for some odd reason to me, the Star Trek theme and the Star Wars theme sort of sound alike. :scratch:

He did some good scores for the two Gremlins movies and the recent Looney Toons: Back in Action.

Mine too, the Mulan score is marvelous.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

While the name "Jerry Goldsmith" would never come to mind when thinking of my favorite film score composers, looking over his body of work, his scores for Planet of the Apes, Patton, and Gremlins do stand out as being particularly memorable.
