toby what the hell is this list. first of all, theres two nino scores on here and neither of them are amarcord. secondly, vangelis gets TWO honorable mentions but Curtis Mayfields' SUPERFLY ISNT ON HERE? NO SHAFT!? get fucking real. and you know mishima is not better than koyaanisqatsi don't even fucking joke about that. I havent even started on how you put Raiders on here and Jaws doesnt even get a cursory mention. and as for bernard... what about Taxi Driver?! WHAT ABOUT PSYCHO!!! get your ass back to the drawing board. Phantom Thread > TWBB too.

I haven’t seen Koyaanisqatsi. The Jaws score is iconic, but ultimately not a good score outside of a couple places. Shaft is mostly not good aside from the opening theme. Vertigo is Herrmann’s best score, bite me. As much as I like the score for Amarcord, it’s not as good as the two Nino Scores here.

Just because you don't want sit down and listen to it outside of the movie doesnt mean its bad. the Jaws score is great because in the function of the movie it plays with not just the audience but the physical space of the movie. its a character in and of itself. you're extremely wrong about the shaft score. Vertigo is barely top 5 herrmann eat my ass. Amarcord is the best nino score easily. the godfather score is really only worth the theme anyway.

Yeah I get your Jaws argument you’re still wrong Indiana Jones is better also he stole the Jaws motif from Dvorak Symphony No. 9

Wrong wrong wrong wrong all around the waltz from the godfather is great as well. It serves to personify and chronicle Michael’s fall from grace by extremely slow but marked orchestral subtleties and developments of motifs. Its beautifully orchestrated and it functions as a character itself
