Damn, I forgot EMBRYO (Gil Mellé).
Here's a list I found from an old issue of "Melody Maker". The only way I could link to it is by taking a photo of it and uploading it, but I don't know how to do that. It isn't online, but the date's 15th March, 1989.
TEN BEST FILM SCORES OF ALL TIME, by Richard Head
-------------------------------------------------------------
"The cinema has given us some brilliant tunes since its invention by George Melly in 1799, but here's my own personal list of the ones I think are really important to the history and understanding of film in chronological order."
1) TRAIN ARRIVES AT STATION (1877) - The first film ever. Who could forget the sound of the man in the cinema playing the piano?
2) PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1922) - Who can forget Lon Chaney Jr playing Bach classical music, when Christine takes his mask off?
3) THE JAZZ SINGER (1926) - Music by Al Jolson. Who can forget his Mammy? The first real film score.
4) KING KONG (1931) - Music by the Hollywood Orchestras. The first film that used people playing classical music.
5) GONE WITH THE WIND (1937) - The second film with a classical orchestra in it. Who can forget Lara's Theme?
6) SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS (1959) - The first really important film with people singing in it. Who can forget it?
7) WOODSTOCK (1964) - The first hippy musical. Who can forget it?
8) BUGSY MALONE (1971) - The first film with children singing in it.
9) SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (1978) - The film that made disco music popular. Who can forgive it, eh forget it?
10) HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - It hasn't been made yet but production notices for the upcoming blockbuster point to it being perhaps the best film with the most important music yet for a film.
"We've come a long way since that man in the orchestra pit played the piano tune for the train, but I think you'll agree that, as far as film music goes, the sky is literally the limit."
