Matty's "Valentine" did bring about a bit of that androgyny he referred to in the movie when he said he couldn't figure if it was a guy or a gal singing. I thought it was particularly creepy, myself. I'm more partial to Carly Simon's version of it.
Locutus. I loved the opening credits on First Contact. Goldsmith does wonders with brass-- and that had to be one of the more memorable Star Trek openings in my opinion. Next to that, I love the old, un-quantized opening for Deep Space Nine. It had a very regal feel-- and considering the show was about a station, and not so much a vehicle, it worked VERY well.
Talented Mr. Ripley is on of those unheralded movies with great acting and a compelling story. I was madly disappointed when the sequels didn't have Damon in them. No reason to watch then. :)
The First Contact score is great, particularly the opening credits. I always felt there was something etheral about them. At the end of the credits, there's a sudden WHAM! music and visual wise that gets you going. (The overture from Star Trek VI is another fave.)

In fact, that's the part I want. The guy who plays Rod/Princeton.
Not to mention, I want the guy who played it when I saw it in New York. Yum.
