Trudeau's Top 10
Andy's picks for the best movie scores of all time, with sound samples.
Among the films nominated for best original score this year are two movies of fantasy and fright: The Village, with music composed by James Newton Howard and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with a score from John Williams.
