Although I was expecting Maurice Jarre's Overture to Lawrence of Arabia to be on the top 5, there was a part of me worried that maybe it could've been overlooked. Glad really glad it made the list.
Would've been fun to have the whole soundtrack

  @Alfonso Alfredo Two near the top! Maurice Jarre is one of those who consistently writes beautiful scores.

This is great classical music! Because the theme of the film is classical.
Sad to say, today's youth are being fed a pablum of violence and CGI graphics and non-stories. Thus, no great classical music will come from today's films of "idiocracy."

  @lorraine Just to say I agree. Good movies with good " clasical " music is one of the few ways to expose young people to real culture. Unfortunately, there are bad movies with bad music out there, also. Much too much!
