He was definitely one of the greats.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

I'll miss him.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-19-2004 02:28 AM                     He also did Ghostbusters , which was a great score. This has been a bad year for composers passing. It's sad that in the same year we've lost Michael Kamen, Jerry Goldsmith, and now Bernstein. RIP to all of them.

He has done an enormous job for films. Let us think back with graditude !

And only a few weeks after the passing of Jerry Goldsmith, too. Oh, how I love "The Sons of Katie Elder". It's every Western score.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 08-20-2004 07:05 AM                     The score from "To Kill a Mockingbird" is one of the finest ever, IMHO. The ending sequence with narration and music still sends chills through an old f#%t like me.  |  IP: Logged
