But for me, the master of music of the movies has always been John Barry. From trying to keep in my head the theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service by humming it into a tape recorder, to seeing the movie Enigma pretty much solely because it was scored by Barryhis last film score, in factI've seen the world of the movies set to a swinging Barry beat.
