Ok, here we are five years later! I'm curious to see what list we would get this time so I've decided to run this poll again.
RULES
1. List the 25 film scores that you believe are the best of all time. 2. The #25 on your list will get 1 point, the #24 will get 2, and so on. Please number them; if the list is not numbered, I will count them as 1 through 25. 3. Send your list by pm. 4. You can change your list if you'd like. In that case, you can send me another pm. 5. I believe sagas and trilogies should NOT be listed under just one title (for example: if you're voting for The Godfather, I will consider it a vote for the first movie, not for the trilogy). Voting opens now and it closes on JANUARY 18 at 11.59 PDT.
Please use this thread for FYCs and discussions. If you have any questions, please ask!

some other quick FYCs:
Ben-Hur by Miklós Rózsa To Kill a Mockingbird by Elmer Bernstein The Draughtsman's Contract by Michael Nyman The Last of the Mohicans by Trevor Jones & Randy Edelman Gettysburg by Randy Edelman Phantom Thread by Jonny Greenwood Rear Window/North by Northwest/Vertigo by Bernard Herrmann The Man with the Golden Arm by Elmer Bernstein Planet of the Apes by Jerry Goldsmith
narrowing this down to 25 is going to be torture!

Gettysburg by Randy Edelman Have I told you lately I love you? Edelman made three spots on my ballot. Gods and Generals is an even better score.

Gettysburg by Randy Edelman Have I told you lately I love you? Edelman made three spots on my ballot. Gods and Generals is an even better score. Gods and Generals is one of the first theater experiences I remember, bathroom break intermission and all. I'll definitely be voting for Edelman for Mohicans and Gettysburg in the very least, but coming up with 25 is going to be haaaard. How much Herrmann is too much Herrmann, that's the question

Do short films count?
Edit: Do original musicals that don't have a "score" count? I'm asking if Once is eligible since it's just a collection of songs

The other question is interesting, but songs do have music in them so I'm inclined to say yes.
