This thread is definitely of a frivolous nature, but did anyone ever notice how many of Jerry Goldsmith's scores feature cues with the word "No" in them? As in "No ____". His tendency to name cues starting with the word "No" exceedingly trumps Elfman's "Final Confrontation" policy...

(granted, you do as many films as Jerry did and you're going to have recurring track title tendencies, but still!)

(a bona fide Goldsmith fanatic could maybe identify which score each track comes from...)

Goldsmith's penchant for word combinations with "no" seems to have "no end".

Cool thread!

Let's not forget the greatest Goldsmith "No" their ever was:

"NO ESCAPE" from PLANET OF THE APES!

The one that got me was "Early Arrival" which appears in The Edge and Outland. Connection?

I was just going to say that....

But for me, now a decade after his death, the reality is still a very sad thing, "No more music from Jerry Goldsmith."

The Nos are high but has anyone ever noticed how many times he also did tracks called Main Title?

Nearly as many as End Titles maybe?

I gave some thought how to access this info from my database and realised it's easy in Windows Media: choose composer and sort on track title. Shame your list isn't sorted but I'm sure you're missing the following:

No Address / After Hours / Up for Bids / Illegal Parking
No Alternative (& reprise!)

The first two entries in my sorted list (from a total of approx. 40)!

Ah, but you learn something new every day! Just think how important this fact will be: you could include it in a general knowledge quiz.
