100 Greatest Film Scores
Criteria:
1)
The movie had to have at least 30 minutes or more of score.

2) Historical impact. (Unique approach to film scoring)

3) No scores that were famous for incorporating already existing music.

4) Sequel scores: Only one representative from each franchise. What is considered to be the franchises best work.

5) No musicals. With the exception of a musical that had an original backround score that's noteworthy and not based on the songs. So you'll see the 'Wizard of Oz' but not 'The Little Mermaid'.
