An Essenial Soundtrack for the Cinema of 1999

As part of the “Rewind: 1999 in Film” series at Filmotomy I pulled together a 10 minute video of some of the finest film scores (though there are some lyrical moments) from the last year of the century. I considered for far too long on whether to include an abundance of songs, and it was a pretty good year for that segment of soundtracks. But, I found so much quality musical material in the composition field that I limited myself to that. So, after hours and hours glued to the editing suite (and listening to a hefty ton of film scores), I whittled it down to these fine few, crammed for your convenience into just 10 minutes. Have a watch, a listen, and enjoy. Like you have a choice.
