Film Scores carry the atmosphere of any film. Although still considered a niche genre, film scores have risen in popularity since John Williams made the famous score for Star Wars!
Below, I have tried to create a set of “Best Of” lists by composer and era. Of course, any such list will be subjective and personal. Understand that this is my list, not those of a professional film score critic and historian. These are my favorites!
Classics, masterpeices and guilty pleasures! Williams has the most scores listed, but maybe that’s why he’s my favorite film score (and non-score) composer. This list is not meant to be balanced to highlight the best by period and composer. This is simply the list of scores that I own that jumped out at me when I browsed my collection. It’s what I like to listen to!
