No, no. I understand completely. It's the biggest shame that Goldsmith's taste in projects worked against him. The music is there to be treasured, but unfortunately most of the films they accompanied were utter crap, with some watchable ones and a handful of quality pics as exceptions.
It's been chewed over time and again, but the question remains: "what if?"
I do think that the period we are talking about here was one in which JG was doing as many good films as Williams (Alien is a better movie than Dracula, both released in the summer of '79, and certainly the bigger hit of the two). Under Fire was done the same time therabouts as Williams' Monsignor and which is the better movie? Williams gained a household name recognition with Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters, Raiders, etc. that JG just never quite acheived. I think he scored more sub-par movies in the last 15 years of his career than the first. I feel like kicking myself for even posting this and regurgitating something discussed ad nauseum, but the period we are talking about demands it.

I related this years ago. Before seeing the film, I purchased the lp. Knew exactly what I would get from Goldsmith. The south of the border sound done by him...I was not disappointed.

I recently met, and seeing a Spanish woman, and i asked what her favourite movie was, and she replied 'Bajo El Fuego'. She said, 'and it has wonderful music'.
