The music of a film creates a huge part of the emotion that is seen on screen. This makes the score a very important part of the final product. A good score and make your movie perfect or detract from it, Saving Private Ryan for example does not have much music throughout it, but the lack of music and the parts where music is present creates the fantastic feel of the movie.
I think that it is interesting that for such an integral part of a movie, not much time is given to craft it. John Williams for example only had six weeks to create the entire score of the first Star Wars. Not much time for one of the most recognizable themes in movie history. John Williams also creates his music very mathematically, making sure that all the hits in the music line up perfectly with the action. (All six parts of the video are awesome).
Hans Zimmer on the other hand, worked differently on the score for Inception. Chris Nolan gave him the leeway to just make the score, not worrying about wether it fit perfectly or not, and then they would see where the hits naturally met up.
No matter how one goes about it, making the score is a huge process that takes true talent, which is why these guys are so famous. I know my hat is off to the composers who work so hard to bring emotion to the viewer.
