I certainly was not suggesting that movie music is bad.  I also placed the
Warsaw Concerto in my classical file for many years, until, through an
accident of Googling, I discovered  the WC was movie music.  The switch from
"Dangerous Moonlight" to "Suicide Sqaudron" is fascinating.  I also like the
Meditation from Thais, both violin and piano.
