It gets remixed as part of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6esoF5XJoXM "Big Ben Chase"]] further on.

However, he saved his best work with NBC for their election night coverage with this classic theme called "[[https://youtu.be/LQ8dPRhuE1s Salute to the President]]" used from [[LongRunner 1976 until 1992]]. |
35 | * "His scores may not be full-blown symphonic..." it says at the top of the page, well, ''Film/Lifeforce1985'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsV7TuNMr5M has now entered the chat]]. This glorious large-scale score for this horror/science fiction tale is arguably the second-best element of the movie, behind...[[Creator/MathildaMay you know]]. |
36 | * It's a lesser-known piece from Mancini but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC8FNDXgCnA Lujon]]" -- named after the instrument featured in the recording -- is a sweepingly romantic number. It was even featured in ''Film/TheBigLebowski''. |
