Such a shame he has passed away. The Total Recall and Basic Instinct soundtracks are some of his finest work amongst countless other classics.
He will be sorely missed.

Not to forget the one and only ALIEN!
Goldsmith was and is a major part of movie history.
Goodbye...

Did you know...
Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the original Star Trek theme and took a share of Alexander's royalties? Still, Alexander went on to be one of the best soundtrack composers around. R.I.P.

He was a living legend. I guess now he's "just a legend". R.I.P.

Aw crap.
You know me, massive soundtrack fan. Never forget the blaster beams of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, or the sheer, shat-pants terror of The Omen and Alien. God bless the guy for his invention.
Righty, must go off and listen to the ST: Nemesis o.s.t. in tribute. Would try for something better, but its the only Goldsmith score I actually own. Still great though. Apart from the keyboards... Ahem.

Errr... no, he actually didn't do "Judge Dredd" - that was Alan Silvestri. Jerry composed some great music for the "Rambo" flicks with Stallone though: "First Blood" is still one of my favourite action scores of all time! And I always loved the way he used synths and effects (like the aforementioned beam in the "Star Trek" movie) with the orchestra...

As I have both "First Blood" and "Basic Instinct", I'm also very sad about his death. Brilliant soundtracks and huge inspiration for me, especially for remixing...

I didn't know about this until I read the thread. Well, that really sucks. He, Hans Zimmer, James Horner and John Williams are the only soundtrack composers I like, and now one is dead.
