Some movies are just best listened to with a Bose home theater system. Why? Because the music is so great. The American Film Institute has listed the Best 100 Film Scores and here are the top 10:

#10 – High Noon (Dimitri Tiomkin) – loved the film and the music
#9 – Chinatown (Jerry Goldsmith) – Huh?
#8 – The Magnificent Seven (Elmer Bernstein)
#7 – Laura (David Raksin)
#6 – Jaws (John Williams) – GREAT!
#5 – The Godfather (Nino Rota)
#4 – Psycho (Bernard Herrmann) – without the music, the film would have flopped!
#3 – Lawrence of Arabia (Maurice Jarre) – love this music
#2 – Gone With The Wind (Max Steiner) – who doesn’t hum this music for days after seeing the film

and

#1 – Star Wars (John Williams)

Of course, my favorites are not listed and include Pirates of the Caribbean (which came out after this list) and Field of Dreams (nominated, but did not make it).
