22. The Dam Busters – March

21. Saving Private Ryan – Hymn to the Fallen



John Williams appears with another beautiful composition – I suspect his music will feature at least once in the top 20

20. Pirates of the Caribbean – Main Title Theme



Hans Zimmer in again with a rousing and bombastic composition

19. Titanic – Hymn To the Sea



Although I don't care much for the film and hate the theme song, I have to admit this is a beautiful piece of music, fully deserving its place in the top 20.

18. The Godfather – Love Theme



It's a testament to this piece of music that people in Italy have it played at their wedding! (My parents saw a couple saying their wedding vows in Sorrento while this was played on violin because it was appropriately romantic, not because it was linked to a magnificent epic about organised crime!)

17. Interstellar – S.T.A.Y.



Yet another entry for Hans Zimmer, and another from a Christopher Nolan film, with a perfectly judged composition for this science-fiction masterpiece.

16. The Magnificent Seven – Main Theme



A genuinely great piece of music, one that perfectly evokes the setting and theme for this brilliant film.

15. Doctor Zhivago – Lara's Theme



A sublime piece of music for one of cinema's greatest epics

14. Ladies in Lavender – Main Theme



I must confess that I've never seen the film and this is the first time I've heard this piece of music. It's a beautiful theme by Nigel Hess and it has made me interested in watching the film.
