Post-1933 American Movies That Have No Music Score (2 Viewers)

[Dick]

I'd enjoy compiling a list of such films. Off the top of my head are:

THE CHINA SYNDROME (following opening song)
THE BIRDS
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
ROPE (following opening credits music)
ORDINARY PEOPLE (following a brief classical piece during credits)

Would anyone care to add?

EXECUTIVE SUITE

A lot of Bogdanovich and Lumet films have no scores.

The Asphalt Jungle
The Defiant Ones
Fail Safe
Targets
Paper Moon
The Last Picture Show
Network
Dog Day Afternoon
The Day of the Jackal
The Blair Witch Project
Cloverfield
The Hill
Saint Jack

Rear Window also doesn’t have a ‘score’ as such.

I don’t think Goodfellas or Casino had original scores - just preexisting music.

The Asphalt Jungle

The beginning and ending of this one did have original music by Miklós Rózsa, though I guess you could still say it doesn’t have original music in the main body of the film.

On that note, The Gunfighter also only has main and end title music.
