- Gladiator. Since the film’s release, Gladiator has gone on to achieve legendary status for Zimmer, from the beautiful, otherworldly ‘Elysium’ to the epic orchestral ‘Honour Him’.
- Pirates of the Caribbean. Zimmer collaborated with Klaus Badelt on ‘The Curse of the Black Pearl’, writing the film’s main themes as a duo. Although critics berated the composers’ work for its lack of connections to the ‘swashbuckling’ genre, Zimmer and Badelt succeeded in creating a score which is both epically beautiful and cheekily evocative of the unpredictable Captain Jack.
- Sherlock Holmes. Zimmer famously made use of (and was personally responsible for trashing!) a broken pub piano in his soundtrack to Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes remake.
- Inception. Unbelievably, Zimmer revealed his entire score for the Christopher Nolan film originated from Edith Piaf’s song ‘Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien’ – from the thunderous trombone theme to the threatening semitone-based melody in the violins.

- Inception (2010) There has to be a reason why directors like to work with specific music composers on their film. The case may be that the director knows that the composer understands his/her needs.
- Intersteller (2014) Yet another soundtrack for director Christopher Nolan by Hans Zimmer. It’s like this pair have been born to give us a great combination of great film and an amazing soundtrack.
- The Dark Knight (2008) Like ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Dark Knight’ was also composed by Zimmer in collaboration with James Newton Howard. The very first scene of the movie has an extremely powerful score “Why So Serious” which introduces us to the Joker.
- The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Another Nolan movie, the third and final one in ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy, Hans Zimmer returned to gives us another adrenaline rushing soundtrack.
- Pirates Of The Caribbean. Everyone knows the classic theme to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, with the tune having become so iconic. Hans Zimmer collaborated with Klaus Badelt to create the music for the original movie, and he certainly did a tremendous job with it.
- The Holiday. People might instantly think of the major blockbusters that Hans Zimmer provided the soundtrack for, but he has also dabbled in the festive period.
- The Da Vinci Code. While The Da Vinci Code itself was met with mixed reviews as a movie, but the soundtrack itself was always heavily praised. Being nominated for a Gold Globe Award for Best Original Score, it is clear to see that Hans Zimmer's work here was appreciated.
- The Last Samurai. Hans Zimmer captures the culture of The Las Samurai in a way in which nobody else would have been able to. While the score is quite depressing and downbeat, that is the way the movie dictates it to be, and Zimmer does that very well.
