music in film

I am a person who likes the movies that matter -- the movies that take a stand, challenge your thinking, affect your heart, portray true love, show real events, and applaud difference makers.

I really like the movies with good music. I feel like the musical score truly enhances and even reflects the ideals expressed through the cinematography, plot, mise-en-scene, and actors. Music is a HUGE contribution to the value of a film, in my opinion.

my ultimate movie score list:

5. The Holiday -- Hans Zimmer

4. Ever After -- George Fenton

3. Lord of the Rings -- Howard Shore

2. Anne of Green Gables -- Hagood Hardy

1. Titanic -- James Horner

Not Phantom of the Opera?! ;)

I agree, though. Well, except with the first one, because I haven't seen it. And I didn't notice the music so much in Titanic, except at the beginning and the end when they played the theme music. Haha. But yes, the other three are perfect. <3

Haha, I was going to say the same thing, Tay. I guess we need another movie night to watch the Holiday! With you, Taylor. Of Course. ;)

"this is my story; I promise to leave nothing out"
-- A Walk to Remember

Here, I write what matters to me -- what helps me catalog my very person. I write songs & poems, tributes to those I love, devotions to the one who first loved me, inspiration for those like me, and accounts of where life has taken me. I must caution: there are elements of shallowness and deepness depending upon my mood, some English major nerdy-ness, nonsensical declarations of a hopeless romantic, and open adoration for vintage style. Mostly, this is my way of remembering and treasuring, of making my world an array of sweetness that I can almost taste. I never want life's moments to get away from me, to run wild whilst I simply exist between them. So I write it all down.
