AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores

AFI'S 25 GREATEST FILM SCORES OF ALL TIME

The AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores is a list of the 25 greatest American films scores of all time.

The film scores of all time in The Big Picture – AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores were originally presented during a one-night only live performance at the Hollywood Bowl on September 23, 2005 produced by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association in cooperation with AFI.

Spanning a century of film music and counting down from 25 to number one throughout the evening, Principal Conductor John Mauceri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra performed excerpts from each of the winning scores, many of them accompanied by favorite movie scenes shown on the Bowl's big video screens. While television broadcasts have announced the previous eight installments of AFI's 100 Years... series, this event marks the first time an AFI countdown was revealed before a live audience.
