For this list I tried to stay away from the iconic scores (we all know Star Wars, Jaws, Halloween, etc. whether we've seen the film or not). Instead, this list is of the scores that I found personally impacting. Check out the Spotify Playlist.

This list was hard to narrow down to 10 movies. I have chosen these 10 because I feel like they capture the essence of what it is like to be a child. They are at the same time, joyful, sad, hopeful, and imaginative. For a more nostalgic list, check out my Childhood Version.
