Lots of the magic behind great films can come from a carefully-selected soundtrack or original score.
FOX

Oxygen
Just think back to that memorable shower scene in Psycho, which was made even more terrifying with the accompanying screeching violin.
Universal Pictures

Warner Bros. Pictures

Warner Bros. Pictures
