1. 15 Great Science Fiction Movies Of The 1970s. STL Mo January 16, 2009. George Lucas’ first sci-fi theatrical foray remains one of his best works—and one of the stranger roles for Robert Duvall.

2. THX 1138: The Hybrid Cut. Removed DC insert shot of LUH and blended back in uncut shot of THX. TM2YC has done an excellent job recreating the theatrical cut.

That (then) unknown director George Lucas managed to secure legendary composer Lalo Schifrin for the cerebral, brooding soundtrack to his bleak (pre-Star Wars) science fiction tale THX 1138 is a testament to his legendary industry tenacity. Far removed from his collaborations with John Williams, THX bristles with dissonant choral sections, bursts of Latin-tinged percussion, and a whole lot of mid-'70s echo-laden flute solos. A great deal of the soundtrack's tone resembles Stanley Kubrick's chilly, classically cultivated score for 2001: A Space Odyssey -- Schifrin uses Bach's St. Matthew Passion over the end credits -- and while it's occasionally ironic and lighthearted (the spaghetti Western-themed 'Source #4/Third Escape/Morgue Sequence/The Temple/Disruption/LUH's Death'), the bulk of it is just plain disjointed and disturbing -- 'Torture Sequence/Prison Talk Sequence,' with its cacophony of thumb pianos, bells, and hand drums, wouldn't have sounded out of place on the Wicker Man soundtrack. THX 1138 is a challenging and difficult listen, but fans will be pleased with Film Score Monthly's attention to detail and lovingly penned liner notes, and soundtrack buffs will finally fill a crucial hole in their sci-fi collections.
