4.) The Empire Strikes Back - Imperial March by John Williams
Okay, this list really couldn't be complete without a track from Star Wars, even if just for it's pure iconicness. John William is an absolute master of scores. He's almost certainly written more memorable and iconic themes than any other composer of the past; Indiana Jones, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, the list goes on and on! This particularly track is probably one of the most recognized pieces of music in the world. The loud, heavy, and dark rhythm of it completely personifies the character of Darth Vader. Strangely, however, my actual favorite moment this theme is used is when Luke pulls off his father's mask and we here a soft gentle whisper of it in the background. Almost gives me chills just thinking about it!
