Must-See Cinema, Part 1: The Classics

This year, The Score is celebrating 20 years of music in the movies! And to mark that milestone, creator, host and producer Edmund Stone has crafted a five-part musical library of “Movies You Should See At Least Once in Your Life.” The first episode is “The Classics” – films that have stood the test of time and should be on your “Must See” list, including Citizen Kane, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Rear Window and more.
