It was written by David Arnold and Michael Price and is now one of the most recognizable soundtracks ever.

2. Harry Potter Theme

One of the greatest franchises ever must have one of the greatest soundtracks, right? Or at least that is what producers of Harry Potter thought when they invited John Williams for collaboration. When they were writing this masterpiece, they probably had no idea how popular it would become overtime. However, even though that most people know this track as ‘Harry Potter theme’ it is officially called Hedwig’s Theme, while the first title rather refers to all songs that were used in the movie.

But there was something else that made people fall in love with this film. We are talking about its gorgeous soundtrack, “My Heart Will Go On”, recorded by Celine Dion. Though it was not written by her, creators of the song are James Horner who wrote the music and Will Jennings who is responsible for lyrics to it. Eventually, this collaboration resulted in this song winning multiple awards and becoming a true legend as well as the movie.
