Great Score!!!!!!!!!

Who else thought that October Sky's score, composed by Mark Isham, was one of the most beautiful scores ever on film? I think it's right up there with compositions done by such legends, like: John Williams, Danny Elfman, and Howard Shore! What do you think?

This is a criminally under-appreciated score. That it wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for best original score is a crime.

That was longer than a heartbeat...

James Horner is not a legend, his music is ripped off from...himself mostly.

How about Hans Zimmer (might be like Horner, but his music at least sounds good), Thomas Newman, Danny Elfman or Jerry Goldsmith?
