- The Omen (1976) The greatest horror score ever composed, bar none, this is a textbook example of what a soundtrack can do for its respective movie, elevating it from schlock into grippingly portentous Satanic art.
- Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) Despite the many glorious highs of the Star Trek movie franchise, its inception came with this somewhat muddled and slow-moving, though visually majestic, debut feature, one that fails to yield the warm responses afforded to later entries in the series.
- Chinatown (1974) Amazingly, Goldsmith had only 10 days to compose his score (replacing a rejected work by Philip Lambro) for Roman Polanski’s classic neo-noir starring Jack Nicholson.
- Planet Of The Apes (1968) Although Goldsmith had been scoring movies since the late 1950s, it was this revolutionary, avant-garde work (bearing the influence of his great mentor, Alex North) that truly established him as a force to be reckoned with.
