Why I Feel Wet Before My Period

The ten most beautiful songs taken from the movie soundtracks of all time

Hard percentualizzare the importance of a good soundtrack to determine the success of a film, beyond this dilemma, I believe that a film that also makes use of beautiful music they buy in value anyway. In selecting ten musical compositions for film, I pleasantly discovered that the Italians in this specific field are very honored, especially that there are two names on everyone: Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota, actual genes that may well be treated to great musicians of the history of classical music of all time. Morricone I have chosen two masterpieces: the first is an excerpt from Once Upon a Time the west, great films of Sergio Leone, where the music has a negligible importance at all, and the second is the divine, supreme, sublime Gabriel's Oboe , taken from Mission. As for Rota I could not insert an excerpt from a film by Federico Fellini, with whom the musician worked for a long tempocon excellent results, and the theme music Amarcord seems to me that touches the highest level of the collaboration of film two brilliant artists. The other piece is very well known and part of the soundtrack of The Godfather . But I will not stop the fellow countrymen and I believe we should also talk about other creative writers such as Francis soundtracks Lai, who created the piece for piano moving in the scene of major Love story. American composer Alex North, author of a memorable melody that you can listen Bond film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? . The Frenchman Maurice Jarre, who wrote the most beautiful soundtracks of many films of director David Lean (Doctor Zhivago all). American John Williams who was able to invent a unique and poignant melody that accompanies the most dramatic scenes of Schindler's List . Another American, Henry Mancini, author of Moon river , mellow song that is heard in the film Breakfast at Tiffany . Finally the great Charlie Chaplin who was also a musical genius, as evidenced by its fantastic soundtrack that is part of the film Limelight . Below is the list (in chronological order) of the ten songs and films to which they belong, and then a video that contains both images and the theme music for the film "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf."
