A few songs from some classic modern films. They are a complete mixture of genres and tastes, yet all are included in each film for a reason. Successful in fulfilling their job of evoking an emotion, image or message that is essential to the story. Music in film is of the utmost importance. It must be right. It must add rather than distract. It pulls from the audience and creates mood. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that many directors use the same composer time and time again. They often share a mutual understanding of what it is that's important to convey underneath the script; what moves, what creates passion and what helps the story in its journey of what it needs to be and wants to say.
