Film music at the Proms

Actually beginning to tire of seeing the same bits of Psycho performed live, although the strings do look amazing in the shower scene. Why don't they ever perform Vertigo, arguably the greatest film soundtrack music?

Steiner's Casablanca medley enjoyable; The Big Country dispensable; Korngold's Robin Hood not nearly as good as his Kings Row theme. The star is David Raksin's sax led melody to Laura.

Forgot the Tom & Jerry music - were those guys on coke?
