There are a lot of great films with non existent scores in them.
I hesitate to mention this but Apocalypse Now comes to mind. I know many would disagree and apparently the Golden Globe Award Committee did because they gave both Carmine and Francis Golden Globes. I thought it was a innovative idea to use electronic elements to sonically represent "the horror!" of Col. Kurtz but the Moog collages just weren't working for me I guess. As Errikos pointed out it's "all personal preference." For the record, I think Carmine Coppola was a underrated composer.
Does anybody know if Goodfellas had an original score? All I remember is a montage of period music. In fact, I read that they spent almost as much money on licensing fees and royalties than they did on the actual production.
I'm sure I'll think of more after I press the "Post" button.
Congratulations William for starting yet another thought provoking thread.
