7. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Ang Lee's fantastic martial arts movie wowed audiences as much as Tan Dun's magical soundtrack. Composer Tan Dun is chiefly known as a writer of breathtakingly original "concept" works of modern music - works like 'Paper Concerto for Paper Instruments' and 'Orchestra' - and his score for CTHD was equally imaginative. Tan Dun not only won the Best Foreign Language Oscar but also gave Tan Dun an Academy Award for his brilliant soundtrack.
