Action, Comedy, Thriller, 10-Nov-2021
Who can forget the 1994 James Cameron masterpiece, 'True Lies'? Featuring the great Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, it is one of our absolute favorite films ever. It is also one of our favorite scores, featuring music by Brad Fiedel. Interestingly, this film was the first to use the 1994 20th Century Fox Logo and fanfare which was actually composed by Bruce Broughton!
Overall, this action-packed thematic score is an extraordinary achievement, and brings you right into the action from the first downbeat of the Main Title track. If you haven't seen this film, treat yourself and do so immediately!
