You will feel the terror of a life lived in fear.

CLUES ARE YOUR FRIENDS:

1. A film and score easily overlooked not because of its quality, but because of the towering work from composer and director that surrounds it. Described by one critic at the truest film approximation of the world of Kafka, which is interesting, since it isn't based on a Kafka novel.

2. The great paranoia film. So good it had to appear twice in this list. The score is not nearly so loved as the film, as this clip will probably tell you why.

3. Chilling chamber score from the name composer most associated with great paranoia films.

4. A very eclectic score, this one. Bits of everything - baroque classics, avante-garde, jingles like this, even some tribal drums from memory.

5. The most cited score in the 'Guess the Score' game makes yet another appearance. From the other composer most associated with great paranoia films.

6. Great scene. 'She went up on the roof!' The last of the major paranoia films of the 70s, and probably the least serious of the pack. Hell of a finale scene with some incredible airplane stunts though.

7. ... Here at the tail-end of the paranoia films came one last hammering for the institutions, this time passing stern judgement on the abuse of power on the one major branch of US government left out in the previous films.

8. Thor would probably agree that this is one of the great films. Also a very annoying case of dialogue getting in the way of a good score album. Not very typical of the composer, but this director tended to get the good stuff out of him while he was alive.

9. The album consists of infernal drones and hellish sound design for most of its length, and then out of the chaos emerges this gorgeous theme. If you listen really carefully, you can hear a hint of the instrument that became so indelibly associated with this composer later work, though it is a bit buried in the mix. This director has - enviably enough - worked with so many of the great composers you have to wonder if he makes new films just to tick another classic scorer off the list.

10. This composer's darkest work, without question, and certainly a film about a very paranoid individual. (In this case, a rather famous paranoid individual.)

11. This is why you shouldn't stick gum under the table at restaurants. Water gets everywhere.

12. This composer has worked with the director of the most successful remake of modern times, the director of the most-loved cult film of the late 90s, the director of the longest remake of modern times, and a prolific director with a Jeremy Irons connection. Here he works with one of them. Starring the star of clip 7.

13. As it turns out, there is also a connection to Jeremy Irons here too. This scene follows another one which makes an unfortunate visual joke involving a banana.

14. Sexual paranoia. People usually forget this film had a score. I think it was a very good one. (And a damn good film too. Not enough films are made about ------.)

15. However it was this film that was destined to be remembered that year, and not clip 14. This is another landmark score, one which draws on a number of modern concert works.

16. If I have to give a clue, this isn't as easy as I hoped.

17. Ah! Existential angst!

18. Directed by an Oscar winner. Starring a double Oscar winner. Scored by an Oscar winner. Co-starring another multiple Oscar winner.

19. This score won an award named after a character from Gosford Park.

20. A man who evidently doesn't like too many feathers in his pillows. An Oscar nominated score, by one of the most famous composer in this gam
