My Top Ten Movie Scores

My list of the Top Ten Movie Scores

Okay so many people have commented that my list does not reach their approval, so I am here to stand by my list.

Edward Scissorhands is a beautiful peice of music, and it is as magical as it is haunting

The Nightmare Before Christmas is fun and zany with a variety of different themes, and they're all just great.

Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie, mostly because of the score. It includes all of the music from the earlier movies and new themes, and it's just epic.

The Rock is intense and fun. It's the best action movie and I can easily listen to this score whenever I play an action packed game, and have the most fun. I love the score from the Rock.

Titanic is just beautiful. It won the oscar for Pete's sake.

Jurassic Park is just gorgeous. The flow from note to note exceedes any other John Williams peices.

True Romance has the happiest soundtrack than any other movie. Bar none.

Braveheart has gotten no backlash, so no explanation is needed for that.

The Fellowship of the Ring is my favorite score from the other Lord of the Rings mostly because it can be small and beautiful, and then go to extreme and epic, and that was important for this movie, so this had the best for the Lord of the Rings movies.

Road to Perdition, my number one, has the best score ever. It doesn't have one uninteresting score. It's all amazingly beautiful and doesn't have just one theme. If anyone disagees with me, you haven't listened to the score.

As for other comments, like "Where's Aliens?" Umm, no. Some of those movie had one central theme and barely did anything to enhance the movie.

The movies that were considered but unfortunatly did not make the cut include: American Beauty, Armageddon, Batman Returns, A Beautiful Mind, Empire of the Sun, E.T., Forrest Gump, Gladiator, King Kong, Lion King, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Saving Private Ryan, Signs, Transformers, and Unbreakable..

I hope this may have cleared up why I picked these scores for my list.

What did all these movies have in common..accept for the second one. (They were all made in the 90's)

Actually, Road to Perdition, Lord of the Rings, and Revenge of the Sith were all in the 2000's.

You put The Rock on here! YES. True Romance.YES! Braveheart..Heck yeah!!!!! You picked some great ones. But,and I know everyone has different tastes...How in the world can you not include the score (soundtrack) from The Last of the Mohicans? That is an amazing soundtrack/score!!!!! One of the best ever!

No Schindler's List? Other than that, pretty good list.

Although I highly disagree with your list, I can understand some of the choices you've made. But please let my advise you to also take a look at the great scores from decades past. To mention but a few: El Cid; Ben-Hur; Now, Voyager; Gone with the Wind; the Thief of Bagdad. Etc.

Only one i'm shocked not to see.....The Godfather!!!!!!!

[Sevmarick]

Midnight Cowboy? Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Pink Panther? Life of David Gale? and WHERE THE HELL IS REQUIEM FOR A REAM!

@GlennJWhittier totally agree" last of the Mohicans" added to this list would have knocked every other list outta the ball park. *sigh*
