There's nothing quite like a silent film with live musical accompaniment. Earlier this year, I got to see the Alloy Orchestra perform the score they wrote for Fritz Lang's "The Complete Metropolis" at Ebertfest and it blew my mind; the night easily ranks amongst the coolest experiences I've ever had in a movie theater. When a talented composer actually writes the music for the film you're watching, like Alloy did for that version of "Metropolis," that's an even rarer and greater treat.
Folks in Austin, Texas will have a chance to tap into that silent-movie-live-score magic this Halloween weekend, with a special screening of F.W. Murnau's 1922 vampire masterpiece "Nosferatu." On Sunday, October 30, the film will play the Alamo South Lamar accompanied by a live performance by Graham Reynolds and the Golden Arm Trio. Reynolds, the composer of Richard Linklater's "A Scanner Darkly," wrote the score especially for the film.

It’s time to get the real party started. I’ve whittled down what I prefer to think of as the “critical darlings” of my top ten best scores of the past decade. From this point on, it’s all subjective. The next three scores are personal favorites that I feel are real standouts from the hordes of disappointingly functional soundtracks I’ve witnessed. Before I continue, let me clarify a few things. I chose these scores (and this is so for the previous picks) not just because they suited their respective films; this they did well. I am highlighting them because they are also, standalone, great music that isn’t content to merely assist the visual action. At times, these soundtracks may even overwhelm the film itself, though this is a rarity. I love them because it’s not until you hear them outside their natural habitat that you realize how phenomenal they are.
