This is not the first time, we have ventured into talking about Film scores. The first time was a bit scattered because we realized, most of us (except Brendan) had a difficult time distinguishing between film scoring and film soundtracks. Therefore, we wanted to take another crack at examining exactly what makes a film score a film score. Also, as this is The List we also wanted to discuss the merits of film scores as art and, of course, give our favorites. Now that we’re digging deeper into this topic, we thought we definitely needed an expert on here to help us out.
