    • The Back To The Future trilogy (1985 – 1990) What else was going to top the list? Back To The Future remains the composer’s crowning achievement, not just for the mind-bending intricacy of its orchestrations, but also for how the series hangs together musically, motifs and rhythmic ideas criss-crossing each of the three movies.
    • Predator (1987) The seeds of all future Silvestri action scores were sewn here. John McTiernan’s jungle-set action-thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger is a terse blast in testosterone, and demanded a tightly focused score to go with it.
    • The Abyss (1989) Silvestri’s only collaboration with James Cameron drew out the best in him. The movie’s oppressive underwater environment, combined with its assortment of near-angelic aliens, allow the composer to paint in intriguing shades of light and shade, as carefully judged synth textures gradually give way to passages of awe-inspiring choral beauty, especially during the climax.
    • Judge Dredd (1995) Sly Stallone may have made the mistake of taking the Judge’s helmet off in this much-maligned dystopian actioner, but Silvestri never puts a foot wrong as far as the score is concerned.

    • Forrest Gump. Both rousing and incredibly sad, Silvestri’s musical accompaniment to the award-winning 1994 movie was crucial to its success. After the album was released, it crept up to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and stayed there for seven weeks.
    • Captain America. If Silvestri’s score were accompanying anything but a Marvel movie, its old-school symphonic sound might risk feeling outdated. But it’s the combination of the triumphantly original brass melody, steady marching beat and final unexpected drum roll that makes Silvestri’s Captain America soundtrack heroic, with a perfectly-judged slice of cheese.
    • The Avengers. Silvestri’s score to the first Avengers film is epically nostalgic and varied in its orchestration, beginning with a staccato bass in the cellos and double basses and moving into a glorious melody in the horns.
    • Avengers: Infinity War. Silvestri described scoring Infinity War as “a really different experience than anything I’d done before, especially in regard to the approach and balancing quick shifts in tone”.
