Top 6: Uses of Music In Non-Musicals

Our Top 6 list for Episode 19 is about uses of music in non-musicals. It's a wide-open field, as virtually every single film makes use of music, often in a number of different ways. Sam narrowed down the field by excluding all soundtrack music from consideration: in his list, the music all comes from within the story.
