Yeah, Vertigo by Herrman has as much right to be in my top 5 as any of the others I put.

Yeah, Vertigo by Herrman has as much right to be in my top 5 as any of the others I put.

Well, there's a lot of Herrman's work that deserves to be recognized. I mean, look at how awesome the score for "Psycho" was, and it used only stringed instruments.

But I particularly like "Vertigo" because of how thrilling it can be in one track and saddening in another.

Does it bother nobody else when you determine to hunt down the soundtrack of an outstanding movie and find that the tracks on the album have been altered from the score used in the film?
Case in point: The NeverEnding Story

Speaking of which; I just learned that this one's getting a reboot in 2012! Who's excited with me?
