8.) Vertigo - Prelude and Rootop by Bernard Herrmann
Now this is a true classic thriller/horror soundtrack. While not quite as popular as the Pyscho soundtrack, the soundtrack from Vertigo is equally important, I think. The solomn runs of the violin have somewhat become a staple for horror films today; This film is one of the earlier films to employ this technique in a modern way. It also is, I might had, done significantly better than most soundtracks that try to pull off the same thing in horror films today. I'm somewhat ashamed to say that I only just saw this film for the first time more recently. I've had a desire to see Alfred Hitchcock films for a long time, but I never got around to it until recently. This is actually the first Hitchcock film I saw, and it's also one of my favorites. Absolutely brilliance in creepiness which is only enhanced by it's top-notch soundtrack.
