15) The Godfather

Such is the popularity of the main theme of The Godfather composed by Nino Rota that it garnered instant recognition anywhere that it is played. Speak Softly Love, a rendition of Nino Rota’s earlier work has been so highly acclaimed that it has been lyricized in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and various other languages. All the tunes used in this soundtrack have such an eerie and sinister tone to them that they have been compared with themes of mafia culture, political power play, and betrayal since then.
