Howard Shore's Nobody's Fool is a great little score. I wouldn't say it needs to be reissued or expanded or anything, but as music, it's pretty nice if you find it laying around somewhere for cheap.
Great movie and great score. Paul Newman and the wonderful cast. I hope everyone takes the time to see and listern to this one. Good recommendation.
Did anyone mention Iceman by Bruce Smeaton? It's another gem from down under.
Iceman is beautiful but INTENSE! I've never heard the shakuhachi played with so much gut-wrenching angst. The music really gets to the heart of the character. Great stuff.

TO JOAN- Thanks, have to check those two out, Words in reviews that sets me looking are sweet, beautiful, sublime, pretty, gorgeous, because that is what I really like in a movie score.
One of my favorite out-of-the-way jewels is A HANDFUL OF DUST by George Fenton, a perfect showcase for all the wonderful things he can do. It is by turns powerfully symphonic, jazzy, and supremely gentle and lyrical. I have been pleased to listen to this wonderful score for twenty years and once or twice a year. I fall into a period where it comes back into heavy rotation.
It may be difficult to find these days but I promise it is worth seeking out.

Yes. That score is alive! Electric even.
Add me to the list of huge fans of this wonderful score.
I pulled something out of my CD collection today that I have had since around 2000 but never played. I listened to the entire CD and it was wonderful. "THE AVENGERS" by JOEL MCNEELY. I should have played it many years ago ! The film was a mess and tanked, but McNeely wrote some great music ! An underrated effort by an underrated composer. It is going to be played many times !
