Movies
I see a couple of action movies with Lalo Schifrin music are available on free, licensed streaming.
- Plex - The Osterman Weekend (1983) - Robert Ludlum thriller with Rutger Hauer and Burt Lancaster, director Sam Peckinpah’s last film
- Plex - Escape to Athena (1979) - WWII escape flick, with superstar-studded cast but so-so results
