I love watching film credits - I even made a separate blog featuring them. While collecting the composer credits, I noticed a few films honor composers that have passed away. Sadly, several on this list left us far too early. It's a strange topic, but here are some examples of composers getting honored in a credits dedication.

Wait, what about "'Til There Was You"? In the movie "'Til There Was You", it was dedicated to the memory of Miles Goodman.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that one! If I can get it, I'll add it.
