MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis (Ken Harrison)
The Lion King 2 (Nick Glennie-Smith)
Max Q (Nick Glennie-Smith)
Tarzan And The Lost City (Christopher Franke) - although maybe not a tv movie (?)
Attila (Nick Glennie-Smith) - although early 2000, and a two-part tv mini series
Colosseum: A Gladiator's Story (Ilan Eshkeri) - although "early" 2000, and a tv movie documentary
Ring Of The Nibelungs (aka Kingdom In Twilight) (Ilan Eshkeri) - although "early" 2000


Tarzan is not a TV movie.

Imdb is always a good source for finding out such things.

You are fond of those early 2000 things, lol.

You seem to strictly enjoy scores from after 1990, is that right? No 80s favorites, TV movie or not?

Maybe there are some earlier (80s) TV movie scores as well, but couldn't think of any at the top of my head. As for not TV movies, there could be a couple, I guess.

I do enjoy mostly the 90s (and early 2000) stuff in general, yeah. But the main reason I included those 2000, was simply to have a few more to the list, haha.

Tarzan is not a TV movie I see, true. Not sure why I thought it could be. I guess it kind of is a "B" - movie, perhaps. Never seen it though. But the score I really enjoy a lot.

As expected, it didn't take long before people started mentioning TV SERIES rather than movies. big grin

Really slim pickings in the 80's and 90's compared to the golden age of the 70's.

Battlestar Galactica was a TV Movie first. wink In fact one could argue it was a "series" of TV movies first. I think three in all.

Only the pilot was run as a movie first. Lost Planet of the Gods and The Gun on Ice Planet Zero were aired as two part episodes (and there were two stand alone episodes aired between them). Aside from the pilot, only Greetings from Earth was aired as a 2 hour movie during the network run.

However, the original intention was to create a series of TV movies.

Not only was the first episode a pilot, it was a tv movie. Enough of a movie to be released that way in a number of countries including my own the UK in cinemas. What more evidence do we need? A movie originally intended for TV!

The same must be said for the first episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Which means that with the Paul McGann tv movie of Doctor Who 1996, I'm the proud owner of three. Those above two on vinyl and the latter in that odd release that wasn't official but enough to be on sale in some shops attached to exhibitions etc. Composed by no less than three people! Debney, Sponsler and Febre.

1982 CBS movie: The Scarlet Pimpernel -- Music by Nick Bicât.

Music available from the composer. https://nickbicat.com/product/the-scarlet-pimpernel/

This 142-minute movie (broadcast in a 3-hour time slot) has sumptuous music and fine performances from Anthony Andrews, Jane Seymour, and Ian McKellen.

The 70s? Ah, you mean that boring black-and-white decade which came before the 80s?

Another good television score from Nick Bicât is 1984's A CHRISTMAS CAROL, the George C. Scott version. It was released by Quartet in 2017, but is also available from Bicât's website:

I am fond of the Prometheus' 3 volume Allyn Ferguson compilation, which, together, covered music from movies such as Ivanhoe (82), April Morning (88), Camille (84), apart from some others from the 70s & the 90s.

other favourites:
-William goldstein: Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (89), remembrance of love (82)
-michael j. lewis: Hound of the Baskervilles (83)
-christopher young: american harvest (87)
-georges delerue: Sword of Gideon (86)

have watched only Sword of Gideon among these & thus cannot verify, beyond a reference to IMDB, if these are TV movies or not.

I really like the sound of Basil Poledouris early scores, especially A Whale for the Killing (1981).

And Fire on the Mountain (1981) is an excellent and very interesting score in his filmography since it prefigured some of his later and better known Americana scores like Lonesome Dove (1989).

So A Whale for the Killing and Fire on the Mountain are some of my favourite 80s TV-movie scores.

I much prefer movie over TV-movie scores, though.

One very good one that comes to mind, which I don't think has yet been mentioned, James Di Pasquale's Emmy-winning score for 1989's "The Shell Seekers," parts of which sound quite Vaughn Williams-like.

Has there ever been a CD release of this wonderful score?

Oh, also Ernest Troost's score for "The Canterville Ghost," Bruce Broughton's music for "The Thanksgiving Promise."
