Wow, I just listened to Barry's ACROSS THE SEA OF TIME and Delerue's A SUMMER STORY again, and was taken aback by the amount of heartfelt emotion in those scores. Both were relatively late-period scores for both composers, and both seem to stand above most of their other scores of the period (famous films or not). In particular, in ACROSS, listen to that poignant longing in "Coney Island."
As for Delerue's A SUMMER STORY, a listing of the great cues in this score would contain most of the album. It is truly one of the most heartfelt, touching, and aching/longing Delerue scores of his career.
I know these two CDs are commanding big prices these days, but if you can get ahold of them, please do; they are among these composers' best.

Barry's Across the Sea of Time is probably his best work. No, it IS his best. And that Coney Island theme.................... wow, just wow. One of the best things I own.
And to see it on film...............! I rewatch the movie every now and then just to relive the majesty of the score. His piece, called Moviola, from the Moviola album, is played as the camera swoops slowly over the skyscrapers of New York City. For me, its a religious experience, it is so powerful.
I know I sound like a nerd. That is because I am. lol But ATSOT made me an instant Barry fan. That, and the Specialist, which came out at the same time.
