90 of the Most Effective Uses of Music in Film - Page 2

A collection of my favorite examples of the importance of music in film. In some of these, the music matches the mood of the scene and enhances the intensity, in others it's an ironic juxtaposition of what's being shown on the screen. I've also included character theme music and outright musical numbers.
