Favorites: FILM SCORES (NOT BY JOHN WILLIAMS)

If you were reading my blog back in the beginning of February, you'll have noticed my post for John Williams' birthday. In it, I chronicled my ten favorite film scores composed by Mr. Williams, and I think I made a rather fantastic list. That being said, John Williams is not the only fantastic composer scoring movies, so it's only fair to give some other composers their due credit. So, I've compiled a list of my twenty-five favorite film scores that were not scored by John Williams. There's twenty-one different composers included in this list, so hopefully I've given you a bit of an eclectic mix. I'm giving snippets of the scores for your listening pleasure, so I hope all the links work. Enjoy!
