25. 2001: A Space Odyssey - Notorious for its minimal dialogue, Kubrick’s soundtrack is instrumental in establishing the mood and texture of the film.

When asked why he had decided not to use North’s work, Kubrick said why should he use music that is “less good” compared to that of established names like Beethoven.
