Posted by: Pierre Sauvignon In: 10+1| Cinema| Music

I hope you have nothing better to do… You might be wasting the next 20 minutes of your day watching videos on youtube…

You’ve been warned ;)

There is no specific ranking, it’s just how it came to me…

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Irreversible
3. Beethoven: Immortal Beloved
4. The Godfather : Part 3
5. Apocalypse Now
6. Le Grand Bleu
7. Chariots of Fire
8. Requiem for a dream
9. Donnie Darko
10. Kill Bill
10+1. No Country For Old Men

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey

Master piece. Music is just one of the multiple element of this beautiful visual symphony.

2. Irreversible

Another use of classical music with modern cinematography.

3. Beethoven: Immortal Beloved

Easy to do good use of music when you make a movie about Beethoven ;)

4. The Godfather : Part 3

Final scene of the final episode of the classic Godfather trilogy.

5. Apocalypse Now

A classic, great cinematography too.

6. Le Grand Bleu

Huge french classic. A whole generation of french people adore this movie.

7. Chariots of Fire

…And yes this movie is more than a bunch of guys running with white pyjamas.

8. Requiem for a dream

Depressing movie with a depressing soundtrack, but the two are going well together :)

9. Donnie Darko

Another not so funny movie, but again music as its best ;)

10. Kill Bill (V1 or V2…)

Tarantino always takes good care of his movies’ soundtrack. Kill Bill is a good example.

10+1. No Country For Old Men

Yes, you are right, there isn’t any music in this movie.
