Jerry Goldsmith, the composer of the score for "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" and a bunch of other movies not relevant here, died (http://www.jerrygoldsmithonline.com/) at age 75. You can see the films and other projects he worked on here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000025/).

Rest in peace, man. I'll always remember your awesome remix of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse".

Goodbye, Composer of the Alien series.

One of the greatest composers of all time; wrote outstanding scores for Chinatown, Alien, Boys from Brazil, and of course Looney Tunes: BIA. He will be sorely missed...:(

Hello, friends from Toon Zone, Yesterdaylanders and Memory Laners!

I'm also sorry for the loss of this greatest composer of music scores for the movies.
Beyond of these movies that you mentioned, Jerry Goldsmith also made the music scores for the following movies: Patton (1970), Papillon (1973), the Planet of the Apes saga, the anti-Christ saga (The Omen [1976], Damien: The Omen II [1978], Final Conflict: The Last Omen [1981]), two movies from the Poltergeist trilogy (Poltergeist [1982], Poltergeist II: The Other Side [1986]), the Rambo trilogy (First Blood [1982], Rambo: First Blood Part II [1985], Rambo III [1988]), Total Recall (1990), Chinatown (1974), Inner Space (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), Dennis The Menace (1993), Bad Girls (1994), Lancelot: First Knight (1995), Pure Energy (1996), Air Force One (1997), Mulan (1998), the first movie from the Mummy saga (The Mummy [1998]), The 13th Warrior (1999), Hollow Man (2000), Runaway (1984), Psycho II (1983), The Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), Outland (1981), Blind Terror (1971), The Cassandra Crossing (1976) and many, many others.
For TV, Jerry Goldsmith will be always remembered by the theme songs which he composed for the series The Twilight Zone (1959-64) and The Waltons (1972-81).
Here's my salute for this genius who left us.

Sincerely,
