I have a collection with a great amount by the titans who dominated scoring from the 60s-90s -- Goldsmith, Williams, Barry, Berstein, Jarre, Delerue.
I also have a good selection by the next generation who came around in the 80s -- Poledouris, Fenton, Horner, Kamen, Trevor Jones.
I have a couple of Sardes, some Herrmanns, several Bennetts, quite a few John Scotts, tons of Vangelises (both films and strait albums), a few Morricones and have scoured the world for every Takemitsu I could find.

"..even if I personally think that Morricone is criminally under-represented in both collections!
I would agree, but there is a reason. When I was first getting into this whole film score thing (in the '80s) the sheer volume of material by Morricone was just overwhelming - and he seemed to have a new score every week. So I'm just more selective with his work. Still, 17 CDs (18 if you count his album of chamber music) isn't too shabby."
For me it is the same reason. As I've heard lots of Morricone's scores that were too weird to my taste I only buy a Morricone score when I really love it after seing the films.
But among my 17 there are some of my favourite scores, such as RED SONJA, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, ORCA, ONCE UPON A TIME IN WEST, THE MISSION and TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA and other I think interesting altough not favourites such as EXORCIST II, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, THE UNTOUCHABLES and FRANTIC

Fantastic scores, all of them. Try to get hold of The Red Tent and Moses. The former should slot into your first group, and the latter into your second. They both have the most beautiful themes.
And I'm sorry if I came across a little abrupt in my comments about your and RcM's CDs. The reasoning you both put forward is of course quite sound. I just can't imagine a film music collection without a good proportion of Morricone. My prejudice.

I have great respect for Morricone and have enjoyed many of the films he has scored (my favorite: CINEMA PARADISO). However, of the 350 odd filmscore CD's I own, not a single one is by this Italian master. Divorced from the films, they have little interest for me as a listening experience.
To each their own.......
So there! (insert bi-labial trill)

Until I bought The 'Burbs, and later my Boys From Brazil disc for a far too exspensive price... the old 30 mins Intrada album of Poltergeist II was my most expensive album with $1.50 per minute...
