Several outlets have published lists ranking the greatest film scores of all time, with some focusing on specific time periods, such as the 21st century, and others considering the last 100 years. The lists vary in length, ranging from 7 to 50 scores, and some highlight the work of particular composers, like John Williams. The reports suggest that certain iconic scores, including those from Jaws, Star Wars, and The Lord of the Rings, are widely regarded as among the most memorable and beloved.
