      LucienSabre The Lord of the Rings is undoubtedly one of the best soundtracks ever, but it is also a bit new. This list is for "iconic" soundtracks, and I'm sure many could listen to Store's score without thinking of the trilogy. To be fair, many of the movie scores on this list weren't iconic either.

      If it is rankings 20-11, then where are the honorable mentions from the original top 10 list? None of it makes any sense.

    The music from 28 Days Later that we can hear at the beginning of the movie isn't by John Murphy but Godspeed You! Black Emperor ("East Hatings"). John Murphy did create the iconic guitar score for the film ("In the House, in a Heartbeat") but it isn't the piece we hear at the very beginning in the top. Just saying for those who might be looking for the song.

  • @peter14km
    @peter14km 8 років тому +23

    I wrote that in the fisrt video and I am writting it again. How can you not include requiem for a dream film score? It's one of the most iconic soundtracks ever, it's been used everywhere, even in trailes of other films, like LOTR. It's a melody that every living person has heard at least once in his lifetime. That's what iconic means not only how epic it is. For instance, forrest gump's soundtrack is amazing but NOT iconic. Schidler's list is probably the best soundtrack that has ever been written but it's not more iconic than requiem for a dream, since it's mostly used in anti-war and holocaust videos or events. Requiem for a dream has been used for everything, horror, adventure, action, drama, tribute videos, documentaries, public events. And of course it's not only that but also the fact that it is really famous, way more than the movie it was written for. Most of the scores you included are less know than their movies. When it comes to iconic I think the fisrt that come in mind are star wars, superman, jurassic park, jaws and of course requiem for a dream!!!

    That's actually not composed for a movie. The piece was written by a band, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and it's called East Hastings, although they only used a smaller part of it in the movie, Sad Mafioso, and shortened it down even more.

    Schindler's list reminds me of this so I'm not sure if it's an original but the music to "Enemy at the Gates". That music is so iconic to me and, until this video, nothing reminded me of it. Given my military career, this military movie brings so much heart and emotion to a seemingly silent aspect of warfare and the music does a great job of complimenting it.

    Lol, the song they highlight for 28 Days Later isn't even John Murphy's piece. The 28 Weeks Later track is, but the one from 28 Days Later is a song called East Hastings by the post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Get your facts right WatchMojo. A great song, and fits the movie perfectly, but not an original score for the film.

    I watched the first top 10 instrumental film score and then this one. At first i was annoyed that lord of the rings score was not in the first list (putted only as honorable mention) but then i realised it really isnt as recognizable the others. But then i saw this list and i believe you should have included lotr if not in the first in the secont list.
    I mean really, is 28 days/weeks and Forrest Gump scores (no matter how good they are) more iconic than any part from lotr trilogy ost? And i think lord of the rings soundtrack is voted as the best soundtrack of all times. Also you dont have it even in your top 10 movie soundtrack. Come on guys, really??

    That particular track from 28 Days Later is Godspeed You Black Emperor, the final cut you played was part of the John Murphy composition.
    You could almost do this by decade since scores have gone through so many changes. The modern scores vs. the pre-90s scores are very different. Here are some more iconic themes you missed:
    The Untouchables
    Fire Walk with Me
    Requiem for a Dream
    The Pink Panther
    Wrath of Kahn
    The Black Hole
    American Beauty
    Dr. Zhvago
    Last of the Mohicans
    Bram Stoker's Dracula
    There you go, your next top 10 list with some honorable mentions to Enter the Dragon, Gladiator, Last Temptation of Christ, Fight Club, Edward Scissorhands and Psycho.

      Weirdo Reborn That's John Williams for you. That's why he's a much better composer than Hans Zimmer. I quote Seth McFarlane when he spoke at Mr Williams' AFI Life Achievement Award acceptance ceremony when I say, "Music in film is in danger. Some composers can't read music and have no business writing for a full orchestra. Others create their scores by recording each section individually. This is why no one else can give us anything like what John has been giving us for decade after decade.
