It wouldn't fit into this list. It's just beyond S Tier.

Yes, absolutely!! I was waiting for them to listen to it, a bit disappointed it wasn't on the list

I cannot second this enough

Was literally just going to comment this, 100% agree!

It’s perfection

lotr

Absolutely! Part of me was worried that they might hold it to a lower standard. I was pleased to see their reaction.

A classic...reminds me of Parsifal prelude

Fuck it, hands down the best movie series ever for all time

I got the violin notes for it and am pretty disappointed.

Thomas Newman?

Ennio Morricone?

Yess!! That made me so happy as well!

It speaks for itself really, hard to imagine anyone that has heard it not putting it in S tier.

Yessss I was so happy too! :D

No need, automatic S tier ❤️

LITERALLY SAME HAHAHAAHA. Lotr def deserves it 😍😍😍😍

Plus the "Marry Me" Suite is amazing❤😭

UP IS DOWN IS AMAZING

@@simphiwe4930 that one is my favorite! Especially the live version, so many emotions.

Up is down and Merry me are pure gold

YES ! The soundtrack of the 3rd Pirate is so great ! I've a live performance on KZfaq from Hans Sommer and his musiciens and it's sooo epic !j

I agree… lion king soundtrack is gorgeous and amazing. I can hear the death theme in my head right now… so beautiful. I didn’t know that it was related to his own father’s death. I don’t think they studied hard for this video… if they had, Lion King would have to be an S!

Also he heavily copied Mozart's Requiem.

Song is called Stampede , when I was in high school our band took a trip to Walt Disney World, during which we got to rehearse this song with a Disney conductor. As a brass player its one of the most fun experiences I’ve had playing an instrument.

The Lion King is overrated in every aspect. Listen to the soundtracks that Menken and Ashman wrote: Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin. They're all so much better.

@@dominikgarbauer6883 And in other parts too, there is a lot of Mozart in the Lion King soundtrack. Kind of genius to think he's combining african tribal music and mozart and it fits perfectly

Yeah, it's pretty crazy how you can tell the audience that the villain is coming in just two notes, they should really consider that

Yeah, they barely listened to the songs. And one single 2-minutes piece is not enough to value a soundtrack. Not even listening to it alone. Putting Titanic, The Godfather, Schindler List and so others so low is criminal. It was such a shallow and poor analysis. Also, compiling all Harry Potter, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks together is hard to analyze, mainly HP because they had different compsers.

Yeah if we're talking about the soundtracks within the context of the movie, 2001 is certainly S tier.

to be fair, the jaws soundtrack is just a less good version of dvorak's 9th symphony. low effort and sad.

​@@benfox6292 You've clearly never actually listened to the Jaws soundtrack or all of Dvorak 9 and only know of the 2-note motif that connects the two. Guess what? Those two notes are the only thing that is similar between Dvorak 9 and Jaws. I guess you forgot about the entire rest of the symphony, and the entire rest of the soundtrack. Apart from those two notes, they are nothing alike.

What video was that? I wanna see that😂

and just missed his part on stage completely

i wanna see him play basketball now too

I’m letting my imagination take over : >

YES PLEASE

we need this but for videogames

But it's a song and not a piece

@@Nezumi99 I mean, Encanto, Shrek, and High School Musical were in the list.

Agree agree agree! PoE is one of the most iconic soundtracks of all time. The parting of the Red Sea theme always gives me chills

I was thinking of that toooo

@@Nezumi99 It's soundtrack, so it could be either.

Same. I am going to go listen to some as soon as this video is over. :-D

I'm sad they didn't play any Ennio Morricone scores.

Exactly the same feeling

@@totally100darthvader7cinema paradiso

If they'd played lighting of the beacons I would've lost my shit

Although I could never get past the first few chapters of that book, the creation narrative is only second to the one in Narnia imo. Masterfully told.

moral of the silmarillion: never trust an off-key singer

@@MusicalJackknife 😅I'm gonna assume you're not old enough to drive. Masterfully? Even as a teen one should be able to notice Lewis's dull prose, characterization and intrusive hand holding. It's a great idea, fairly compelling at first. The execution, however, is levels below Tolkien's. The comparison is almost comical.

@@eduardobenassi3072 Ooh, SoMeBoDy learned enough words to start getting condescending on KZfaq, but can't read a comment right. My second sentence was in reference to the subject of the first, i.e. Tolkien's work. Still, Lewis was a master in his own right, obviously both wrote works for a range of different audiences. The Narnia books aren't going to have the same tone or narrative depth as the Space Trilogy, and though even that can be a slog at times, Tolkien has things like the Silmarillon which often reads like the driest Old Testament chronicles.

@@MusicalJackknife You're right, I totally misread that. Anyhow, the rest was directed to your previous statement.

Disney gonna copystrike them for putting Frozen D tier

Well, sure this time is unavoidable. Still hoping that YT revise their terms.

@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 my dude I could write a longer essay than you did about the musical themes in Shrek's film soundtrack that can never be summed up by one friggin Smash Mouth song, but I don't because life's too short to pretend musicians giving their own PERSONAL OPINION is in any way the same as an objective ranking. they didn't like Frozen's soundtrack, has Frozen suddenly lost the Oscar it won for that same soundtrack? are they poopheads because they had a favorite part to play on violin when they were making an entire Evolution of Disney medley? wow such hate for Disney music to arrange and play a full length video's worth of it! take Elsa's advice and let it go man, you're not doing anyone any favours with your rant least of all the songs you claim to love

@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 I like that u weren’t brave enough to post that as a stand-alone comment and instead had to put it as an unrelated reply to someone else. Please keep your negative thoughts to urself, doesn’t do you or anyone else any good

Inception too

Lol that's your opinion as an audience member judging music by your emotional reaction to it, you're not a professional musician.

​@@Zed-ti9uj Audience reaction to the music is quite relevant considering its a movie soundtrack

That's Christopher Nolan doing the work not Hans Zimmer....

@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea Watch the documentaries about that and say that again

Interstellar isnt up there tho. Its not even close.

@@ToxicTurtleIsMadHow? Are you some expert?😂

Yes please, I want to see this!!

Yes!!

Colors of the Wind is awesome! I didn´t expect to mention someone this here.

YES PLEASE

Encanto was amazing imo. The mix between Spanish instrumentals and western music was so lovely to my ears. Each to their own tastes I guess

Its not on the level of lord of the rings though for example

Hans Zimmer = Incredible

Hans zimmer = ghostwriters

@@Hlebka all composers get help from several other artists. Orchestrators, producers, composer’s etc. However, Hans Zimmer is still a creative genius and the reason his scores are such a beauty. Plus he has created an amazing orchestra to help him play his scores. Put some respect on his name

@@diegobarriga8330 John Williams slays Hans Zimmer in terms of composing and score originality, and none of his songs end up in the S-tier. Musical "academia" intellect.

Yes!! I also loved his Dune soundtrack.

Really, those scores were done by about 30 people. The amount of "additional music" credits on the CD booklets is ridiculous. But that was (and is) just part of the Media Ventures/Remote Control MO, which will either annoy you or you don't really care one way or another.

Zimmer composed some of main themes for the first film and oversaw the rest of Klaus's work. He didn't do it fully and isn't credited because he was doing another film that legally didn't let him work on any other projects for during that time

Hans Zimmer wrote a lot of pretty epic music

@@maxthompson3213 The main theme is clearly by Zimmer, or at least heavily inspired. You just have to listen to the "The Rock" theme.

The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack reminds me of the one played on The Gladiator movie🤔

I agree! I absolutely love it and would love to hear them break it down or even their thoughts

Yes! Please do that

There's an amazing channel that has done this in spanish (with english subs) if you look up something along those lines

@@Schoritzobandit That's Jaime Altozano, he's a great youtuber and musician, he analysed other movies as well!

Check out Monoverantus as well, he's broken down the Lord of the Rings soundtrack in videos going inch by inch of score with themes and leitmotifs and translations for days, truly remarkable!

Alexandre Desplat

His score for the final movie is heart wrenching, despite my best efforts to keep in mind it isn't real, lol (Specifically when Harry, Ron, and Hermione are making their way across the school grounds though the battle.)

@@Jessica_Jones yess

They're sublilme. My favorite ones are William's for The Prisoner of Azkaban and Hooper's for The Half-Blood Prince.

@@Jessica_Jones yessss that is one of my fav parts in hp soundtrack

There is absolutely no reason for the twilight soundtrack to slap as hard as it does..

@@sarahmcdonough7713 Sure there is, they were good movies for teenaged girls.

I was one of those teenaged girls 😂 tho for some reason, I got obsessed with another song on the soundtrack instead of this one.

@@dt4654 Yeah, there were multiple songs on there that had impact on some people, including me as well.

I was so annoyed by the lullaby because it was _nothing_ like what was described in the book, except that it was played on the piano 🤪

Yup

It borrows a lot from Star Wars though you cannot deny.

​@keketoad2873 what?

@@TolkienGeek. are you deaf?

Just my favorite movie !

LMAO yeah they picked probably the most annoying song in ponyo

I was literally so mortified😫 OUT OF ALL THE SONGS?!?

Yeah it really tells his story.

“Dawn” definitely is my favourite piece from the soundtrack 👏🏼

I remember watching this loads when I was little because my mom loved the music and the story and my dad loved the story and cinematography. I've never not liked it no matter how many times I've watched it. Such a masterpiece.

OH!! lol I'm a die hard advocate of the 1995 version's production/acting and I love that soundtrack as well so I was excited for a bit. lololol Maybe you'd like the 1995 soundtrack.

I listen to P&P 2005 OST on a regular basis. Itsone of thes best soundtracks to help me when I'm working on homework and/or writing papers.

it’s AMAZING!

Prince of Egypt never fails to move me to tears. I agree-some of his best work.

Oh hi umu!!

My fave react group channel reacted to TwoSet Violin. EPIC.

Ah Umu! Yess Prince of Egypt is one of the all time greats imo

Prince of Egypt is such powerful, gorgeous music. S-tier, no question.

I love Forces of Attraction and Cambringe, 1963. Actually I also love The Whirling Ways of Stars that Pass too!

Ice dance and Batman are gorgeus

The score for Spider-Man 2 is immaculate

I would love to see Danny Elfman in this video. And also John Powell. I'm a bit disapointed :(

I'm so jealous !

I’m seeing him live next year and cannot wait to experience it in person.

I was there and it WAS AMAZING

him and obviously JOHN WILLIAMS lol

That concert is here in youtube... But I'm proud to have some Joe Hisaishi work that is not Ghibli, heck its 80ies pop style, like City pop yay! Robot Carnival ftw! 🙂

When they played Finale in the new Dragonheart movie, I honestly teared up a bit. Dragonheart has such a special place in my heart and hearing the theme from the first movie again during the end of a modern DragonHeart movie that I really enjoyed was a pleasant experience

Thomas Newman for Meet Joe Black omggg. He composed for The Road to Perdition and the title song kills me every time

Meet Joe Black was the first soundtrack I ever owned because it was so amazing and inspiring to me! Love the Everywhere Freesia and Fifth Ave tracks as well, but all so perfect! Will have to listen to Dragonheart now for sure.

@@Jessica_Jones you may already know it. It's one of those that the melody is more famous than the movie itself

Rota is one of the best movie composers of all time (the trumpet solo in "La Strada" is pure beauty and more generally, his music fits awesomely the neorealistic Italian movies) and I agree that the Godfather soundtrack is underrated here. Same for Schindler's List : it is Perlman who is playing ! I think "2001, a space odyssey" should be higher too because of the profound meaning of the soundtrack which highlights the silence of the space (there is no place for ambiance music, and I think Kubrick magnified that with his choice of music).

Schindler's list has such a beautiful soundtrack, really makes the movie what it is!

completely agree

Yeah its pretty obvious they dont know much about movie composition and sound. They ranked many PERFECT soundtracks in incredibly low tiers... But they did say it was casual and based on their opinion and knowledge.

The Godfather Main Theme is actually a different piece than the one they listened to and it's brilliant. "I Have But One Heart" is also a beautiful song. It definitely should be higher on the list.

Mainly "test drive" and how it was made

I love JOhn Powells bourne trilogy. You can’t say all repetitive music sucks and Ravels Bolero is a masterpiece in the same breath.

They should check Charles Cornell's video about how to train your dragon. It's a good soundtrack. :)

Omg i was about to comment the same thing! It’s my favorite animated movie of all the time and the soundtracks, especially “Test Drive” and “Romantic Flight,” are just chef’s kiss

@@8Phoenix8 Immediately thought of his video as well. :)

It’s Atonement for me

omg so true!!!

YESSS! and Ice Age. John Powell is so underrated. Can't believe they didn't include it

Exactly Im so dissapointed that another twosetviolin video about movie sountracks was without a hint on HTTYD

I just posted a comment about this. Those movies make me cry in part because of the soundtrack. Also, some of Kung Fu Panda's is overlooked.

Yes!

Another level than what ?

@@JeanDeLaCroix_ probably Ur mom

LOTR & HTTYD are my favorite soundtracks and trillogies.

The HTTYD soundtrack is perfection.

Same here, it just made my day. Although we didn't got to listen to any of it 😀

HTTYD easily the test drive music is one of the last things left in the mortal plane capable o making me feel emotion

Not just the best animated movies for me it has the best Soundtrack too

fully agree (did you watch the charles cornell vid on it?)

Yessss, HTTYD is in my opinion the best animated kid's series, the music is amazing the story and character development is AMAZING and the world building and I love how it really grew with the audience, I remember watching it as the first time as a little kid and as the series has developed it's matured with me and my friends (something frozen failed at cough cough) But the music man- the music ❤️

yeah hurt a little bit calling it 90's stuff, it was def impactful at the time it came out lol

I think those classic pieces were supposed to be temporary fillers but Kubrik liked them so much with the movie he left them there. One important thing to remember about the Zarathustra work is that there are 9 sections and this first one is called "Dawn" (of man).

the loss of such a brilliant composer was so tragic. i remember being completely in awe of the arrival soundtrack and so excited to see what projects he would be part of next. he left the world too soon 💔

But the "Arrival of the birds" piece comes from a different soundtrack: "Les ailes pourpres: Le mystère des flamants" it was done by the The Cinematic Orchestra for a 2008 documentary on flamingos by Disney nature.

@@witchysongbird True! amazing soundtrack by the way "The Crimson Wings"

@@witchysongbird I hadn't known that, thanks! Please attribute this to my undying love of Johannsson's work; I cried for two days when I heard he'd died. The works that have been released since then have expanded his known contributions to music, which was always both simple and complex in a way that I still cannot describe. I was so happy to see him live on the Orphee tour though; one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

@@mathias2910 Its gorgeous! Became an instant favorite the first time I listened to it :')

Just want to point out that the composer for a lot of iconic Ghibli films was Joe Hisaishi; Miyazaki was the film maker.

yeah its lovely

‘Your hands are cold’ always gives me chills. How they made like 2 mins of Mr Darcy doing nothing but walking towards the camera so emotional is genuinely impressive.

I think all of John Williams' scores should've been S tier. They are all absolutely fabulous

And itzhak Perlman played it beautifully

Star Wars too. Everything John Williams.

Absolutely agree. I would also put Cinema Paradiso up higher as well

@@jessiemarie636 Oh for sure. That main theme is heart wrenching.

Episode 5 soundtrack is ❤💪🌟🥇💯🔥❤️

Yes, "This Land" is one of my favourite Zimmer soundtracks

@@potterpenguin7285 This Land is cool, Busa/This is My Home is amazing, Rightful King suite is pretty high up there too, but Stampede? Stampede is one of the single greatest pieces of music ever written for film. that single piece of music should put lion king in the very top spot. im not even a 'disney adult' and i can say that with crystal clarity of mind.

So many great Hans Zimmers songs on that score. His father passed around that time that inspired those epic pieces.

Literally. They need to at least listen to "This Land." It's phenomenal

yes true.

Yes! Love this score! And soundtrack too!

Yes me too, I wrote my master's thesis on that soundtrack and it is so good!

The Narnia soundtrack is absolutely my favourite... so many beautiful layers and themes AND it's the best music to listen while studying

I was screaming.

@@pranavagautm3000 me too i could NOT believe it

SHOCKING!!!

Yes! Before I started watching I listed the scores that I think would be in S. And Star Wars came to my mind even before Pirates and LOTR

Yes!

My personal favorite is the cello solo in episode 4 when Luke and Ben discover the wrecked Jawa transport and Luke rushes home. It perfectly captures Luke's frantic despiration in the moment.

You mean the cello solo on the Force Theme that gets reused for the moment Rey catches the lightsaber in Episode VII? That’s one of my favorites too.

Don't get me wrong, both are extremely solid. However, the lotr theme adapts and evolves even better to the story. Not only are the themes used to portray the thematic elements, but they also evolve with the plot. For example the theme for the fellowship becomes grander the more people join until it bursts into its complete form when the fellowship is fully assembled. Star wars has some good themes, however, at least in the later movies they have become more and more superficially used.

'Ride the Dragon' is at *least* A tier.

The Legend of Ashitaka theme outclasses every other Ghibli soundtrack by a fair mile

YES. Easily my favorite Miyazaki film as well as my favorite movie soundtrack of all time

Amen brother. My first Ghibli I ever watched. I fell in love with the sheer epicness of both the film and the music.

I think Mononoke's score is better than Chihiro's.

Agree. That said, the song they played wasn't composed for the film. It was a previous piece for a documentary.

the theory of everything is my fav movie as well :) The music is spectacular

You should listen to his album Orpheé! Specifically Flight from the City, it’s the most beautiful minimalistic piece I’ve ever heard. 6 minutes go by so fast when I listen to it

@@bookwormd8627 yes, I have! I can relate to that completely. his collaborations with Hildur Guonadottir on that album are gorgeous. Zurich from another album of his puts me in another world

Chronotrigger and Final Fantasy… chef’s kiss

To the moon probably won’t be in S tier but it made me CRY.

@@MustafaAlmosawi Yes!

@@izzy1221 Yeah just like soundtrack from up in this video

Celeste's soundtrack has a literal fugue as one of the tracks

I loved the movie's theme but didn't know it was a separate piece! Seeing it in today's video made me surprised and happy :)

Thanks for the info!

I am not 100% sure but I think that this soundtrack was written for a Disney produced documentary about flamingos - „The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos” so that should be the movie taken under consideration in here. I definitely recommend listening to „Transformation” by The Cinematic Orchestra - it’s like a variation with some flare. ;)

This is one of my favourite pieces, too. :3 I haven't seen the movie, so I didn't even know that this one was used in it. XD (I think I came across the piece in a compilation of pieces at some point.)

YASS, I heard this piece in an edit with epic movies and it made my sob immediately😭❤️

Thank you, I 100% agree ! Legend of Ashitaka is my absolute favourite Hisaishi piece

I came to the comments exactly to say this, Mononoke's soundtrack easily beats both Spirited Away and Howl's in my book

I'm not an avid fan of Kiki. But the soundtrack. Ugh. I'll cry to Surrogate Jiji anyday

IKRRR IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVS

Definitely but the Kung Fu Panda theme is also just so iconic (especially "Oogway Ascends"😭❤)

Same. Pitchforks dammit!!

Agree with Kong of pride disagree with Prince of Egypt but that’s is totally fine.

sorry to reply to such an old comment, but this song is originally from Seijun Suzuki's Yumeji, a very surreal portrait of painter and poet Takehisa Yumeji.

I 100% agree. I was seriously taken aback when they immediately put it in D lol, but I understand their specific nit picks. I wish they had said something about the main leitmotif.

Esp the portal scene

Porch of infinity war is so underrated

The soul stone scene motif played in both infinity war and endgame might be my favorite

yesss Portals is great

yeah wonder whyd they think of from games.

Fromsoftware clears.

Yes yes yes! I was about to comment. I was in a live concert of Morricone and liked it a lot! I'm probably too old for this channel, I don't even know all the movies.

The Legend of 1900, L'estasi dell'oro, Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto, Allonsanfan (the theme is also in Inglorious Bastards), Once upon a time in America, etc..

The wild horde A fistful of dynamite 😍

Morricone is s-tier

Also include "Last of the Mohicans" and "Braveheart"

My jaw genuinely dropped when it wasn't put straight in s tier

Yes, the main theme is enchanted. And the one "Ashitaka and san" is masterpiece.

My wife and I are both classical pianists, she is OBSESSED with Mononoke and the soundtrack!

@@4492 I was quite shocked myself. That's why I quickly skipped to the comments section even though I rarely comment haha.

@@seer914 I couldn't agree more!

Blade Runner is Vangelis, so, add 1492 and Chariots of Fire at the very least 🙂

The httyd and some of the kung fu panda soundtracks were both written by John Powell! And I agree they're really great and I definitely recommend them :) The sountrack for the Incredibles is good too, though I haven't listened to it on its own like the others

@@ahassett37 I know right? I didn't know if it was just a coincidence or not that both httyd and kfp were composed by John, although hanz Zimmer did do some of the work in kfp. I would suggest listening to some of the incredibles soundtracks

I felt the same. I got so emotional with the Orchestra Concert of Kimi No Nawa.

Overrated score for me.

@@musical_lolu4811 personal taste, difference of opinions

@@musical_lolu4811 One of the many reasons why the triology is a masterpiece is bec of the original soundtrack that is a masterpiece also. It fitted perfectly into a mold. The books -- JRR Tolkien -- masterpiece. Triology -- Peter Jackson -- masterpiece. The OST -- Howard Shore-- masterpiece.

All the music from the movies 🎥 play perfect in its scenes

Among their earliest videos they have a number of film score covers...including LOTR

Wow I completely forgot how good the soundtrack to that movie is. Brothers in Arms is an incredible piece.

Yeah and honestly the main title isn’t the best Star Wars song either.

They really messed up those John Williams soundtracks. Harry Potter is an S for sure. Jaws is Sooo Iconic. If not THE most recognizable soundtrack ever written at D tier....huh? Also, E.T. is definitely S as well.

Memoirs of a Geisha might be one of his best.
