6. Jurassic Park

7. Platoon

8. Glory

9. The Shawshank Redemption

i guess you can make an arguement for either extreme

first when a score is as memorable as Glory that you find yourself here, or second, when a score is as ingrained into the film, like say Star Wars or The Godfather, that you don't even realize it. it is so at one with the action on screen that you forget about it by itself


if it wasn't for my horse, i wouldn't have spent that year in college

Great score here but while we're on the subject, best score ever is
