Music / Film Scores
List of magnificent 25 film scores according to the American Film Institute (AFI) as revealed in 2005. The films are all American. Composer John Williams has the most films on the list. Immense gratitude to these brilliant and wonderful composers, and thank you too, AFI, for this endearing list of music scores for our continuing listening pleasure in the comfort of home.
