I do. The movie is terrible and the score is often dismissed as a lesser Basic Instinct, but I always liked and considered it a very underrated score. Beautiful mais titles, excellent suspense cues and a fantastic final track.
At 34 minutes the album is short, but managed to include the highlights. In any case I would buy an expanded edition.

Outside of the main title, which is on one of my 90's Goldsmith compilations, I haven't revisited the bulk of this score in probably 20 years. I recall being a bit on the dull side, but maybe I should take another listen.

The hints of Basic Instinct are unfortunate, but if you take those away, it's a great autumn-sounding score from Goldsmith. The little in-betweener tracks are better than stuff like "The Handyman."
I picked this up at a second hand shop a few months ago and haven't really given it a listen yet. I will have to dig my copy out and giver her a spin and report back.
Time has, for me, aged the once unlistenable BI tracks to...very good!
This plays without fail at New Years EVERY year at least a few times since '93 cos....I worked in a theater at the time and always ended up ushing this one during the end title. Even on New Years...boo hoo...
Love that ferocious brass play in the last cue from the NPO. One of the last gasps of distinctive London performance before everyone sounded the same...IMO
Terrific album through & through, I'll buy a bottle cap should it happen but wont part with the album assembly ever ever....
With less than eight minutes unreleased this surely isn’t as high a priority for expansion as many other Goldsmith scores, though of course I’d buy an expansion in an instant!
I've always liked this score. It's got real panache. That said, I still would have preferred if Jerry had left the drum machine and his bouncy ball at home.

Townson put out Executive Decision, though, which was missing more but...was it really missing anything good?

Malice was still playing in December/January at your theater? Was it a second-run theater?
The score is solid (the main/end credits choral theme is lovely, and the rest is serviceable son-of-Basic Instinct), the movie is a major guilty pleasure for, uhhhhh, reasons...
I don't know if I'd lay down $20 for an expanded reissue (eight minutes of material wouldn't be much of an enticement, unless there were alternates of the choral pieces), but the existing Varese album is a tight, enjoyable listen.

You got it, damn good sleuthing dude - shared space with Jurassic Park, Rudy, Homeward Bound IIRC. Six-plex, since bulldozed away like my own Cinema Paradiso :-(

Digress time: Sacramento actually has ONE back pain inducing seating, non stadium or recliner laden, barely stereo - nearly mono bargain theater left...located in another dying gasps of pop culture, the mall. If you arent tortured enough there...we got a drive in too. No kidding.
Figures now movies are terrible, yet we can recline AND drink at them!
We now return back to MALICE, already in progress....
There's a theater near me in NC that hasn't been updated since 1986 and I. LOVE. IT. It actually feels like going back in time, though the movies on their old screens are new, digitally-projected and mostly bad.
