Gems in Film Scores

This thread is to discuss and pay homage to the greatest film scores of all time.

A good film is generally the one that can appeal to multiple senses all at once and evoke a certain emotion or reaction to it. Music is one such medium that can heighten and stimulate the sense of hearing and make the film an even more enjoyable one. Music has been an integral part of a movie for a long time. There are many examples of iconic theme music from movies that has become more popular than the movie. The moment you hear it, you get reminded of the film.

Worth noting that this was a landmark in film scores for the use of electronic music.

add Once Upon a Time in the West, The Mission and Cinema Paradiso to the list.

Ennio Morricone was the real deal. A true master of the craft.

Just thinking of how The Red Violin (lone nominee) beat American Beauty (massive Oscar winner which won pretty much every music award until the Oscars).
