Which British film score do you reckon deserves the top spot in your soundtrack collection?

Though Vangelis was Greek, this 1981 score became inseparable from British cinema and the Olympic spirit. Its opening bars alone can send anyone into slow-motion running mode.

Jarre's sweeping theme became the gold standard for epic filmmaking. It captures both the majesty and the melancholy of David Lean's masterpiece.

Newman's score blends orchestral tension with electronic textures, giving Sam Mendes' Bond film its haunting emotional weight. Adele's title track is the cherry on top.

Jóhannsson's delicate piano and strings gave Stephen Hawking's story its emotional heartbeat. Understated yet devastating in equal measure.

Less a traditional score and more a curated cultural moment, featuring Underworld, Iggy Pop and Pulp. It captured mid-nineties Britain better than any orchestra could.
