• Lost in America (Rubinstein)
(Just a score I enjoy. It will never, ever happen.)
I‘m with you on this one! Lovely melody, typical Rubinstein. Probably a too short scoreto release on its own. But maybe paired with another Albert Brooks comedy?

The Hearse.
You've even got me wanting this release, Peter!
Mine still are in no particular order:
The Three Musketeers - Michael Kamen
Willow - James Horner
JFK - John Williams
Indiana Jones series - John Williams (Concord is disappointing in places)
Star Wars prequels - John Williams
oh there are so many...

Some people here seem to have only a very rudimentary idea of what constitutes the "holy grail"

Well yeah, that ONE unique thing, not a list of favorites.
So if I had to drill it down it was the Star Trek Original Series Box set. That one collection I would have sold everything else in my library for.
So yeah, got mine.
But score collectors adapted the phrase to mean "top favorites."

If I had to pick one--Sinful Davey by John Barry, 1969, fully recorded during one of the best creative streaks in film composition history. This score followed Petulia, Deadfall, and the Lion in Winter and preceded Midnight Cowboy and On Her Majesty's Secret service.

I love reading about all the people who got to have some if not all of their Holy Grails released. How f**king cool has it been to see this renaissance of awesome once unthinkable releases being put out over the last decade and some years? I still remember the reaction I had when I saw La La Land Records unveil the Lethal Weapon series as one of their Black Friday releases. I still listen to something from that set at least once every month.
I remember my excitement when Intrada did Back to the Future.
I would give those same reactions if any of the Bond scores I mentioned in the original post got the royal treatment. But again, I'm not sure how likely those are to come to fruition now.
I find some of the Holy Grail picks on here really interesting. My choices all have one common denominator: They're all action scores.

It's much more fun to be able to list to a bunch of things because really there was no way to dumb it down to one for me. I do try though to also talk about what has been released and that I am happy for.

Mr. Sartori has a great list going here.

My Top 5
1) Terminal Velocity (Unreleased 35-40mins)
2) Event Horizon (Kamen stuff, as recorded for the film)
3( Dune (30 Mins unreleased from the film and I can imagine there's even more still unheard)
4) Temple of Doom (The Matessino treatment)
5) Supergirl (The Matessino treatment)
Unfortunately I don't expect to see these come to light any time soon as four of them have been confirmed they aren't coming and another is held up in the Disney/Paramount limbo. Alas.
But my grail list used to be Looooooong, so I have many thanks for Varese, LLL, Intrada and BSX for whittling that list down over the years. I may not see another grail list change, but I had a great run till now.
