Prolific composer Michael Kamen has written memorable themes for action movies such as Highlander and Die Hard.
This is a great shame considering the quality of some of the pieces he composed throughout his career.
Below are what I consider to be some of Kamens finest pieces.
The piece is worth seeking out purely for the Kate Bush rendition of the title song.
Her fantastic voice backed by the National Philharmonic orchestra really is a treat.
But Kamens excellent score can be tricky for fans to track down.
Lethal Weapon
Fresh from working on the score forHighlander,Kamen set out to score this 80s action classic.
And, despite occasionally being a little manipulative, its actually pretty good.
Event Horizon
I really loveEvent Horizonand never fail to be terrified whenever I watch it.
Sure, its not the most subtle of sci-fi horror movies, but it sure is entertaining.
Animated features arent familiar ground for Kamen and this is far from a typical score from him.
Indeed, theres nothing quite like it in his back catalogue.
