Some of the Best Film Scores of all Time

Some of the Best Film Scores of all Time

My biggest YouTube project yet. This my tribute to the film music that I've fallen so much in love with. More than 270 minutes of pure masterclass await you. Sit back, close your eyes and simply enjoy.

Please note, that most of the artworks (with few exceptions) and none of the music belongs to me and they belong to their rightful authors and owners. They are only used for the entertainment. The purpose of this video is really only to appreciate and praise what the authors have created and not to steal or ignore anything or anyone.

Challenge: Close your eyes and tell me, how many of the movies you can name instantly when you hear their music.

I tried to include as many iconic scores as possible, but had to limit myself somewhere, otherwise this video would be even longer. Let me know in the comments, which other notable soundtracks have I missed.

Thank you and enjoy!

The work that went into making these transitions so seamless is incredible. I have been listening to compilations like these for 10 years to help me concentrate, and this one is probably the best one yet. My absolute go-to. Thank you for putting together this list!

[ValentineCreates]

httyd soundtrack is one of my all time favorites, it will never get old.

[georgiancountryball]

I’m commenting to push this into the algorithm more so others get to see this wonder of a mashup.

[msadx]

this deserves wayyyy more views, this is insane

[xo_ruby]

Dude. The soundtrack to Transformers is so underrated. Props for adding it.

[cabamama]

Best soundtrack album I've found. I am a movie addict and also a music one too so I LOVE this album. It will go in my top 10 to put on and PLAY ALL DAY!!! Thanks so much for sharing this awewsome compilation!!!

[albeeh]

You went to great lengths not only to compile great music but to show that music heals anything negative!

[sivavisagankarthikeyan]

This is golden. On behalf of the internet, I thank you for gifting this to us. Incredibly useful when I'm working/studying. I have a few suggestions which have to be added. Interstellar (Cornfield Chase, Detach and Stay), Oppenheimer (Can You Hear the Music) are too iconic to not add. But anyways, well done and thank you.

[elizabethpimentel]

Soundtracks contain some of the most beautiful music in existence. Even if I don't remember the exact scenes, or if I've never seen them, my feelings and mood change. There's a depth to beautiful music that makes us deeper too. I often try to avoid the heaviness of dramas, but if the music is beautiful I can't help wanting to watch and rewatch them. I only made it as far as The Last Samurai (33ish minutes) before being compelled to comment. THANK YOU for this compilation! I'll be revisiting it many times. A stunning soundtrack for work and life!

[panduleni]

The best sound track compilation EVER!! Every track on the list is a major hit! Thank you so much. May you keep up the excellent work.

[castper]

Thank you for this, I know that everyone in here has profound appreciation for music; how it’s made and how it paints a scene with sounds, no easy task.

[Chestnunandbay]

Feel like the best ever choreographed soundtrack album. Thank you!!

[kristinlaviolette]

Absolutely wonderful line up!! Listening to entire thing (probably twice) while preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!

[BlueAndGold]

It feels like a seamless story that these 4 hours are telling. Really well done with the transitions.

[harrisonsindelar]

I have listened to many of these compilations to study and listen to some good music and this is by far the best one. It is so smooth and half the time I can only barely tell when the song changes. There are little to no pauses in between songs. I wish there were more compilations like this but I have not found one better. Good work and I hope @lordfinor is able to do more as this is well worth the time and effort that they put into making this.

[daanvandermolen]

This is absolute perfection, thank you for creating this!

[BigJack]

Omg I’m such a lover of music and I am appreciative of this compilation. It’s added new ones to my already GREAT playlist. You’re the best thanks so much.

[Psykochic]

Absolutely LOVE this mix. Best study music EVER!!!

[brenda-gsyf]

Thank you Lord Finor for putting together this beautiful, incredible music mix to enjoy!👍
