"The six-armed Kali in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) is one of stop-motion master Ray Harryhausens most complex creations. Staging a fight between six men and a six-armed creature was a logistical nightmare and took four months to animate. Movie-making at its magical best"

"Jerry Goldsmith was born on this day in [----]. He composed some incredible scores Chinatown Poltergeist Alien Planet of the Apes and more. One of his most famous pieces is the Dry Dock sequence in Star Trek: The Motion Picture: a six minute sequence as Scotty and Kirk fly around the USS Enterprise. Slow yesbut vital. Star Trek had been off the air for a decade and fans knew the ship mostly from grainy TVs. This is not only Kirks reunion but ours too. Goldsmiths soaring music turns it from a technical showcase into an anthemthe return of a cultural icon."

"JFK (1991) Williams score for JFK (1991) is unusual because much of it was written as a concert work before the film was finished.

One example of the scores layering: Williams sometimes trickles in uilleann pipes a nod to JFKs Irish heritage.

Williams throws everything in: fear awe excitement; he even slips in a sea shanty just for the hell of it.

"With Honors (1994) This heartfelt comedy-drama broke Pescis bad guy streak and showed his range. Its mostly forgotten now often dismissed as a run-of-the-mill below-par 90s effort but its Joe at his most vulnerable as Simon Wilder a homeless man living in Harvards library basement. This is also a great speech about the constitution it's probably pertinent but whaddu I know 7/11"
