Film Score Friday: Box Office Blowout!

Today's listening list comes from the top 10 U.S. grossing films ever:

1. Titanic (1997 - $600,779,824)

2. Star Wars (1977 - $460,935,665)

3. Shrek 2 (2004 - $436,471,036)

4. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982 - $434,949,459)

5. Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999 - $431,065,444)

6. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006 - $423,032,628)

7. Spider-Man (2002 - $403,706,375)

8. Star Wars - Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (2005 - $380,262,555)

9. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003 - $377,019,252)

10. Spider-Man 2 (2004 - $373,377,893)

Somehow I don't think it's a coincidence that all of these films (whatever their merits) have great scores.
