AFI’s Top 100 Film Scores

The AFI list has become something I look forward to every year. Lists are great. Pure subjective fun that always starts a discussion. I’m sure this years list is no exception… The top 100 musical scores in film.

To my total delight, the #1 score of all time was John Williams’ work for Star Wars (the original, even though I thought his stuff on Empire Strikes Back was even better). Here’s the rest of your list

#2 GONE WITH THE WIND
#3 LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
#4 PSYCHO
#5 THE GODFATHER
#6 JAWS
#7 LAURA
#8 THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
#9 CHINATOWN
#10 HIGH NOON
