John Barry is perhaps best known for creating one of the catchiest ear worms of all time: the theme song to James Bond. In fact, he created the scores to 11 films in the franchise! Yet the decorated film composer and conductor has many other soundtracks under his belt. From Dances with Wolves to Midnight Cowboy and many more titles, the English composer crafted many scores that were immensely popular.
