They will be remembered, because all sound the same. The only repetitive score of Horner I like is Enemy At The Gates.

I don't think also that Pelican's Brief would be remembered. It is the worst score composed by Horner, not to mention anybody in scoring community. I think it could be written by Horner's CAT walking on the piano!
