Here's a FilmScoreMonthly forum discussion of Schifrin's rejected score, with excerpt of interview with Schifrin himself on the matter

I love his score for Rollercoaster too! Odd ones that I enjoy include Caveman, The Osterman Weekend, When Time Ran Out, and The Concorde--Airport '79 (hey, they don't have to be good movies to have good scores).
