10 is The Russia House (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJhHZI5dFac). 14 is Capricorn One (https://youtu.be/7AiFkamlbMA?t=58). Is the last one Boys from Brazil? Could be, that had a black and white title sequence IIRC. Have you read my clue above...? :-) About 9 or 15? I had not when I revised my guess... but that's it... don't know any more, and even some are just guessed. The Wind and the Lion was easy though, since I've seen the movie a number of times. About 15... If you know that "other" movie I'm refering to in the clue then No. 15 should be quite easy... Yes, I know that other movie... I have now read but had not then; I just started shooting out guesses. :-) So yep, 15 is then perfectly clear. :-)

So... let' s see... my guesses are 1. Wind and the Lion 2. 100 Rifles 3. Chain Reaction 4. Rent A Cop (pure guess) 5. Trouble With Angels 6. King Solomon's Mines 7. Dang... I've seen this.... I thought Final Conflict first, but I am sure Lionel Newman was mentioned there as well or something... I got it... It is PATTON! 8. Bad Girls 9. The Haunting (just a far out guess... might revise)... I think it's Along Came a Spider now.. it's a 90s Goldsmith thriller either way. 11. Rambo: First Blood Part III 14. Capricorn One Wow, you're really good.... an excellent quota so far! Yes, but to be fair, in case of King Solomon's Mines and Bad Girls I had the "clues" that others had already guessed them, so I just had to think, ah, yes, that could be them. I just agreed with their guesses. I might not have gotten them so quickly on my own. Chain Reaction and Rent A Cop came immediately to mind and I would have guessed them, but I was still unsure about them. Only when I saw others had already guessed them, I joined in. The ones I was sure of on my own were Wind and the Lion, 100 Rifles, Trouble With Angels, Patton (after first thinking of Final Conflict), Rambo III, and Capricorn One. 15 I would have also figured out on my own by now (with your clue and all).

12 looks like a western, but I can exclude the following: Bandolero Wild Rovers Rio Lobo Bad Girls Breakheart Pass Hour of the Gun and I don't think it is Stagecoach either... and it is definitely not the Ballad of Cable Hogue (multiple picture frames). But not sure what it is nevertheless.

#10 Russia House (Side note: I studied with Goldsmith in 1990 when he was scoring this. He said it was a bit of a risk to do a jazz score, but was very happy with the end result.)

(I would not know why I should.) :-) But you phrased it as a question, I was not sure it that you made a surefire guess. Could be 12 Hard Men, I have not seen the film, so if you say it is, I most certainly believe you.

Using screenshots from the "Annyas" site, I made a whole batch of these quizzes for my friends and co-workers a year or so ago -- Goldsmith, Herrmann, Williams, Barry, Bernstein, Rozsa and Hitchcock. It's nice to see someone else had the same idea.

Coming soon - The John Corigliano Main Title Credit Quiz Part 1! (bwhahahaha) Seriously, I'm reminded here of how many of Goldsmith's 1980s, 90s and 2000s score films I've never seen. I have most of the soundtrack albums, yes, but I much prefer the 1960s-early 80s films themselves.

I have most of the soundtrack albums, yes, but I much prefer the 1960s-early 80s films themselves. I had to see The Challenge on VHS, The Salamander on cable, CaboBlanco on local TV and Lionheart on laserdisc, but I probably saw every other 1980-2002 Goldsmith film in a theater. Living in Los Angeles for most of that period certainly helps, but I even saw Inchon in San Francisco in its brief run, the same weekend I saw The Secret of NIMH for the second time. I love that the recent German film, Balloon, is a retelling of the same true story for Night Crossing. It's funny that it only took a year or two after the real event for Disney to film that story but it took Germany nearly 40 years. I've started making mix CDs of my favorite composers, one 79-minute disc per composer. It's been hard enough to edit Desplat down to 79 minutes -- Goldsmith, my next one, will be brutal.

I like some of the JG-scored movies of his last 20 years: the aforementioned The Challenge, The Shadow, The Russia House, L.A. Confidential, etc. But there are also a whole lot (Bad Girls, Leviathan, King Solomon's Mines, Powder, Rambo III, Dennis the Menace, etc, etc) that I have no desire in ever seeing.
