My brothers make fun of me for having so many movie scores on my ipod. I like listening to them while I study or read. This is my list of the top movie scores. I am limiting this list to calssical music. There are a lot of good movie soundtracks (Garden State, Little Miss Sunshine, O Brother Where Art Thou etc..) but that is for another list. I have not kept up with the movie scores in the past six months so this list may be a little dated. Oh yeah and they are in no particular order. They are all good, and it was too hard to put them in order. Clearly I have some favorite composers. Next week I will give my favorite Movie Score individual songs.

By the way, I bought the Social Network soundtrack recently and it blew my mind. Great music by Trent Reznor.
