13. Raiders of the Lost Ark – Raiders March I'm surprised this wonderfully evocative and extremely popular piece of music is so (relatively) low – I thought it would be comfortably in the top 10 Demdike@Cult Labs and MrBarlow like this.

12. Chariots of Fire – Theme I knew this would be high up the list – it's such a perfectly judged and timeless composition by Vangelis Demdike@Cult Labs and MrBarlow like this.

11. Harry Potter – Suite I said Saving Private Ryan wouldn't be the lowest of John Williams' scores, and I was right. This is a lovely piece of music and it's no surprise to see it in the Classic FM Movie Music Hall of Fame top 20 – I wonder if Williams has any in the top 10.

10. The Mission – Gabriel's Oboe A brilliant film score, but not the highest placed of Ennio Morricone's compositions MrBarlow likes this.

9. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – Theme Back-to-back entries for Ennio Morricone, and what a piece of music to do it with

8. Jurassic Park – Theme from Jurassic Park John Williams is 91 years old, he's still composing, and this is one of the most iconic pieces of music in his illustrious career Demdike@Cult Labs and MrBarlow like this.

7. Dances with Wolves – John Dunbar theme When I was guessing about what film soundtracks would appear near the top of this list, I completely forgot about John Barry's wonderful soundtrack to Kevin Costner's superb Western, and shame on me for that. Demdike@Cult Labs likes this.

6. Wilde – Main Theme You can tell this was voted for by Classic FM listeners because I wouldn't have put this in the top 50 of a list, never mind the top 10. This is because I like it – I think it's a wonderful piece of music – but because I haven't seen Wilde in years and can't remember the last time I heard anything by Debbie Wiseman. I'm guessing it features heavily on Classic FM and deserves to be on the list because it's a great piece of music.

5. Gladiator – Earth A beautiful piece of music and one deserving to be Hans Zimmer's highest-placed entry in this top 100 list.

4. Out of Africa – Main Theme Another piece of music that I completely overlooked when thinking of what would be at the top of this list, but that's probably because I'm not a Classic FM listener. It's a lovely piece of music to a film that is a visual and aural treat, but is it worth a place in the top five?
