This book considers the greatest film scores produced over a span of more than 80 years. Each entry includes background information about the film, biographical information about the composer, a concise analysis of the score, and a summary of the score's impact both within the film it accompanies, but also on cinematic history. Review: Fun book for music nerds - Gave this to my husband for Christmas. He had a lot of fun reading the back stories on these movie scores. Inspired us to watch some movie we hadn’t seen. Review: Really nice read.... but... - The way each scores are depicted and presented is nice (short film description / context + high level review of the score). However, I would have liked to get more in depth information/anecdotes/insights regarding the score (the music) itself instead of a 'review' of it. Still interesting but in the end more an 100 acknowledgement of some personal favorites and/or unavoidable titles (anyway a definitive list would not have been possible and would have been debatable anyway)... still, feels like there's something missing... but I may be demanding as a score collector ;-)

Fun book for music nerds
Gave this to my husband for Christmas. He had a lot of fun reading the back stories on these movie scores. Inspired us to watch some movie we hadn’t seen.
