Friday Five – Favorite Movie Soundtracks
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week we help you get to know our writers/podcasters with the help of a top 5 list! This week we take a look at everyone’s favorite Movie Soundtracks!
A movie’s score is just as important as the rest of it’s content. The rumor goes that George Lucas showed Star Wars to the execs at 20th Century Fox without a score, and they turned it down. He then resubmitted it with John Williams score and they immediately approved it! It is just a rumor, however. The idea behind the rumor rings true for all media. Without a proper score, the content will suffer. Here’s a tribute to our favorite movie scores and soundtracks of all time!
