Under-appreciated: Great Scores

Hello ALL!

So up until recently, like the last 2 years or so, I hadn't really given much thought to how Scores/Soundtracks actually enhance movies. I'd always recognized them for being great, but I'd never really given them credit for making or breaking films, or for taking a good film and making it great. But recently, I've had the privilege to see films before they had their finished score in, and seen how ugh, they are. And then seen how much better they are with them.

Just think about some of your favorite movies and think about if they have really good scores and what they would be like without them.

Some of my favorites for listening, or writing, or driving really fast have been, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Dark Knight, and Star Trek.

Do any of you all have favorites? Post them in the comment section if you're up for it.

Hasta!
