5 Perfect Movie Scenes That You Didn't Realize Had No Music (& Were Better For It)
From Mission: Impossible to Goodfellas, some of the most unforgettable scenes in film history don't feature any music at all. When composing a film score, sometimes knowing when not to use music is just as important as knowing when to bring in the orchestra.

Some of the most unforgettable scenes in film history were made so precisely due to their lack of music. When immersed in a story, you might not notice that something is missing, but subconsciously, you feel it, and suddenly, you’re on the edge of your seat.
