Goldsmith composed the score for the The Mummy and Silvestri composed for The Mummy Returns. Tbh, I was disappointed in Sivestri's work on TMR. I dunno why he didn't do a Goldsmith and go bold with big brass and dramatic tympani. Or maybe, y'know, after the Goldsmith score for TM, anything else would've sounded tame?
Another Goldsmith score that I love is the one from The Edge. It's bold in parts but rather thoughtful in others. The same can be said for The River Wild. I really liked it when he dipped into 'thoughtful' as opposed to just 'drop-dead beautiful'. Some of his melodies, while having that instant tears-oh-wow beauty, are rather predictable (you can guess the next notes). The thoughtful sort of ones are a just as beautiful but also more complex.

Umm, and I have rambled on. Music is a drug.
