You are completely, utterly wrong. Your trying to project your opinion of music onto myself and others.

Music, is Music. Plain and simple. What you enjoy is up to you. If you can't enjoy the music that was written for a film when it stands alone thats you, and there's nothing wrong with that. But that is not why I buy film scores. Its not why I bought the Battlestar Galactica scores for Seasons 1 through 4, and its not why I own the Lion King soundtrack. I enjoy the music on its own.

It would be easier for you if you simply accepted that I like Scores because I just do and leave it at that, versus trying to justify it compared with your own preferences.

No he's not wrong. Taking out the score of a movie and listen to it without the movie, is like watching the actors in front of the green screen, without the implemented CGI. Sure, you can see if they're good actors or bad ones, but they would never get the same reaction from the audience.

A movie is an art form that brings many arts together so that they work as a whole. Only together they unfold their full potential.

I recently listened to the soundtrack of Das Boot (hasnt been mentioned here yet?), which works just awesome with the pictures. But on its own its not that catchy anymore.

Some scores do work on their own, like the Braveheart main theme, but that doesnt mean they were intended to stand alone in the first place.
