I've been watching some old episodes of various incarnations of TO TELL
THE TRUTH if they have an interesting guest. Like Chuck Norris when
he was a baby. They had a special effects guy from the THE TOWERING
INFERNO, which made me realize I had never seen that movie except
bits and pieces here an d there.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen it before either.

Well, at least now I've seen it. I recently watched an even worse Irwin

I tagged you on the Facebook with the information for an upcoming 4K disc

I do sometimes blind buy movies, but this is not one I've ever had much

Earthquake! In Sensurround!

As a kid, I saw this in theater with the family; I've never bothered
to re-watch on tv. I did not see The Towering Inferno (by the way, it's
adapted from two similar novels) in theater and I've seen it once on tv.

I am not a big fan of Irwin Allen disaster movies like The Towering Inferno
but they typically had John Williams scores, so that's something. Irwin
Allen had no credit on Earthquake. John Williams was the composer on
Earthquake.

And the TOWERING INFERNO as well.

Yes. He typically composed music for Irwin Allen, especially the tv
series like Land of the Giants and Lost in Space and The Time Tunnel.

Other movies were The Poseidon Adventure. What am I forgetting?

I don't think I knew this.  I have two different two-CD sets of John
Williams music.  I just double checked, and none of that is on either set.

 I’ve lost track, sorry. What John Williams music don’t you have?
 

Anything Irwin Allen or TV related.
The sets I have are the popular scores, Spielberg, Superman, Star Wars, etc.  One of them is Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999 and yet, nothing from Irwin Allen.  Maybe it's a writes thing.  Perhaps Irwin Allen owns the rights to the music and won't let others sale it?
