My Top 10 Favorite Film Scores of All-Time

        A film score is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question. With that being said I've decided to bring you my top 10 favorite film scores of all-time. I'll also provide my favorite piece from the score as well as the film in which the score is involved. So without further ado...
