2004 Score Rankings

Here’s my list of the films I’ve seen this year in order of how much I liked their music score. The top half of the list is pretty accurate to my likings. The bottom half is in a best guess order, though many of them are probably not quite where they should be (Either I don’t remember the score for them well enough, or whatever). This list is still in progress, of course, since the year isn’t finished yet.
