The Movies music Is one of its most important parts; A good job can greatly improve a bad movie and a great job can improve a bad one and make even better masterpieces.
In this post I will leave you more than 100 of the best soundtracks Of films, the music that accompanies the seventh art and that in many occasions is what most endures in us.
Some of them are winners of Oscars, Golden Globes or BAFTA as you will see below. However, I did not rely on it to do the classification. Rather in my tastes and I am aware that many will share them and others will not.
On the other hand, you will see that in many occasions great composers are repeated, especially Hans Zimmer, John Williams, James Horner and Ennio Morricone. No doubt, I find his skills and creativity impressive to compose great pieces. I'm sure they love their profession.
In the search, some have surprised me, so I encourage you to listen a little bit of everything; I have chosen the most representative songs of the whole soundtrack, although if you like it especially, I recommend listening to the others.
As for the genres of the films, there is everything: adventure, action, romantic, horror, fantasy, historical... If you like movies, you can also visit this post Psychological movies or East Of movies related to overcoming.
