Moving (Howard Shore)

Mass transit engineer Arlo Pear (Richard Pryor) manages to find a new job, but unfortunately, it involves having to relocate from New Jersey to Idaho. Despite a weak script and Pryor's miscasting, this comedy still manages to make for a good lazy weekend watch.

Following a career of horror movies (with the occasional drama), Howard Shore was asked to score this movie and while the primarily electronic effort is far from his best work, it's still quite fascinating, buoyed by a catchy main theme.
