What makes a film score unforgettable? Featuring Hans Zimmer, James Cameron, Danny Elfman, John Williams, Quincy Jones, Trent Reznor, Howard Shore, Rachel Portman, Thomas Newman, Randy Newman, Leonard Maltin, and the late James Horner and Garry Marshall, SCORE: A FILM MUSIC DOCUMENTARY brings Hollywood's elite composers together to give viewers a privileged look inside the musical challenges and creative secrecy of the world's most international music genre: the film score.

The documentary contains interviews with dozens of film composers who discuss their craft and the magic of film music while exploring the making of the most iconic and beloved scores in history: “James Bond”, “Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Titanic,” “The Social Network,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and “Psycho.”

Beezergirl1970It is the unstated truth that a great sound score can last much longer in the memory and mean maybe more than the movie does in the long run. This is a really unpretentious story behind some of the great modern composers and how they think with notes and not words or pictures..Score: 5/5

God of Music - Hans ZimmerThis film gives an inside look into the occupation of film score composing. Has several interviews from legends such as Hans Zimmer, etc. Must see for OST collectors..Score: 5/5

Loved every noteA wonderful look at film score creation. And thanks for not forgetting James Horner..Score: 5/5

Good Inspirational piece, short on historyAs an overview of the intricasies and importanc eof the scorig of films, this was a great documentary. However, there was too much worship of John Williams when composeres like Silvestri and especially Goldsmith received only minimal mention. Godlsmith was the king of memorable and hugely oroginal scores, with melodies that truly stuck in our heads. Williams is great, sure, but the coverage of his work was about 60% of the story, rather than perhaps 20%. Yes, his work is ubiquitous and larger-than-life, but this is because of timing and his Spielberg exclusivity. Other than this lopsided look at who's who, overall a well done documentary. Entertaining and certainly a motivation for fans as well as those who might be comtemplating a job as a studio musician: by default, the best in the business..Score: 4/5

I Enjoyed ItI really enjoyed this documentary. It brought back so many memories of listening to soundtracks when I was a kid. John Williams is of course a legend. I was REALLY surprised they didn't mention James Horner, especially his Titanic soundtrack. He also did Glory, Field of Dreams, Apollo 13, and Braveheart. I'm stunned there wasn't a segment dedicated to him. But all in all, this is a solid documentary and I learned quite a bit..Score: 4/5

Very Inspirational to aspiring composers such as myselfThis documentary was great! It gave a very good look at the history and evolution of film music as well as highlighted the big names in the industry throughout the years. I wish it went more in depth with the process but that wasn't the point of the documentary so no points lost there. There were only two minor things I didn't like. #1, No Henry Mancini? They quickly showed the Pink Panther theme but no credit was given nor name mentioned. #2, I wish James Horner's tribute happened either before the credits or right when they began. But that's just me. If I hadn't of known before watching I would have missed it..Score: 5/5

Frustrating omissions but a fun, informative docI mostly loved this doc. It’s puzzling that James Horner wasn’t even mentioned until a tribute during the credits (rude) - justice for An American Tail!! Also no mention of MY MAN John Carpenter, which is hugely offensive to me, nor were there any mentions of other greats like Alan Silvestri (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) or Brad Fiedel (Terminator). Plus, I think Bernard Herrmann & Ennio Morricone each deserved a few more mins of screen time. But the focus here was spending time with current composers in the day-to-day of the job - unfortunately, those jobs are on movies like Minions and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation so who really cares.. 🙄 Those issues aside, it’s still a great introduction to this part of music-making and even gives a decent entry point in learning about home recording and self-producing. The biggest a-ha moment for me was someone saying, “We’re now in the Hans Zimmer era” and it suddenly clicking how true that is. I realized he’s sort of the Led Zeppelin of orchestral film scoring - great in his own right, but also responsible for inspiring so much crap that’s followed since. All the generic, ultra dark, strings-as-percussion scores out there are really his babies in a way... I guess I also have to admit this doc made me acknowledge that John Williams probably does deserve the #1 spot in this world, even though he’s not one of my faves. The impact is undeniable. But give me a Bernard Herrmann or Jerry Goldsmith score any day! I hope you get to see this, it’s fun!.Score: 4/5

Love at first watchIt’s so full of glorious music, terrific stories and all this lovely film nostalgia..Score: 5/5

A work of art about artIn 1989, I remember entering my local movie theater to watch Tim Burton's "Batman" -- a film I was eager to see due to my nerd-like obsession with this comic-book hero. What I didn't expect was to be consumed with the film's dark and edgy score, composed by Danny Elfman. While kids were lining up to get the Batman action figures, t-shirts, and other items stamped with the iconic Batman symbol, I was at my local music store purchasing the soundtrack on cassette. I was mesmerized by Elfman's score. It invigorated an intense sense of imagination and allowed me to think clearly; it calmed my insecurities as a awkward adolescent. Hell, I had to go back and purchase another cassette because I wore-out the first one I bought. From that point on, I didn't watch movies; I listened. I judged all films by their scores. If the music didn't give me the chills and move my imagination, then I wasn't interested. And I can easily name the films that left me with an urgency to buy the soundtrack on cassette, and later on CD. James Horner's "Glory," John Barry's "Dances With Wolves," Basil Poledouris' "The Hunt For Red October," Ennio Morricone's "The Mission," Randy Newman's "The Natural," Jerry Goldsmith's "Hoosiers," Elliot Goldenthal's "Interview with the Vampire" and anything produced by John Williams--all were scores I had playing on repeat throughout my younger years. And later in my adult years, I was heavily influenced by the scores composed by Hans Zimmer, John Debney, Ramin Djawadi, Marc Streitenfeld, Tom Holkenborg, Bear McCreary, and many others. I was obsessed. Still am. In fact, I'm listening to Hans Zimmer's "Gladiator" score while writing this review. And just yesterday, I couldn't hold back my excitement to listen to Zimmer's latest film score: "Blade Runner 2049." I haven't even seen this in the theaters yet, if that tells you anything. Why does all this matter? When watching "SCORE: A Film Music Documentary," I find myself enthused about movie-making again--the craft... the core of what it takes to be an artist. This documentary allows me to see inside the mind of the film score composer. And at the age when I first started listening to film scores, I was heavily influenced by guys like Danny Elfman, James Horner and John Williams--while my friends had Madonna, Bon Jovi, and other pop artists. But I could feel those emotions again, while watching this documentary. It made me feel young again. New. Creative. Watching SCORE was therapeutic for me. It was familiar but invigoratingly fresh. And I was able to once again appreciate what it meant to listen to a film, rather than just watch. Thanks to the film's director and writer, Matt Schrader, and his entire crew for making this work of art. It's allowed me to break through the mundane and wake my child-like imagination to be creative and true to myself..Score: 5/5
