- The Lightsaber — Star Wars. There's no question about it — the lightsaber had to be at the top of the list. With the first movie in the franchise Star Wars: A New Hope being one of the most influential films of all time, there was no possibility that the unmistakable sound effect of this plasma sword wouldn't also make waves throughout the industry.
- The Bullwhip Crack — Indiana Jones. Moving away from the monsters and spaceships, one of the simplest yet most powerful sound effects to ever be used in a movie is the bullwhip crack in the Indiana Jones franchise.
- Godzilla Charging Up — Godzilla. Another dinosaur to feature in this list, but this time in a very different form, is the all-powerful Godzilla. In 2014, the kaiju was brought back to the big screen in explosive fashion.
- TIE Fighters — Star Wars. This isn't the first incredible sound effect from the Star Wars franchise on this list, and it won't be the last. From the undoubtable skills of sound designer Ben Burtt, the large impact Star Wars left on pop culture was largely due to it's sounds, from Chewbacca's roar to Darth Vader's breathing.

Contactbegins with a shot of Earth as seen from space which then pulls back and zooms out. The camera whips past other planets and is accompanied by TV and radio transmissions that go further back in time the further away from Earth the camera travels. It begins as a babble of overlapping noise. However, it gradually becomes quieter until, eventual...
Martin Scorsese regularly plays with silence in his movies, believing that it is so important, but audiences “unfortunately expect sound from first frame to last frame, and I think they expect music, too.” For example, he includes a short but effective moment of silence in The Departed. Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is planted as a mole within the po...
Ridley Scott’s Alien is a masterpiece of sci-fi horror, and that is partly down to the soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith and the sound design by Derrick Leather, Jim Shields, and Bill Rowe. It is often the near lack of sound, with only faint natural noises coming to the forefront, which is so scary. The film’s editor, Terry Rawlings, explains how cruci...
It is no wonder that sound is paramount in Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash, given that it is about a jazz drummer, Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller). Andrew is physically and verbally abused by his bandleader, Terence Fletcher (J. K. Simmons), in an attempt to push him to be the best. The final minutes comprise an almost dialogue-free psychological battle be...
Alfred Hitchcock, known as the Master of Suspense, understood that sound design is one of the key factors in creating a feeling of fear. In The Birds, he insisted that there be no traditional soundtrack, instead letting the screeching of birds serve as the score. The loudness of the birds makes the moments of silence more ominous. They are not tota...
When Interstellarfirst hit cinemas, there were complaints about the sound mix, especially about dialogue being drowned out by loud noises. Some cinemas even put up signs stating that it was not a fault of their equipment but an intentional decision made by director Christopher Nolan. He defended his decision, saying that “when you mix a film in an ...
Say what you will about Attack of the Clones, but the seismic charges that Jango Fett uses against Obi-Wan in the asteroid field are amazing. Seismic charges are bombs that draw in sound from anything around them and then explode in a wave of blue light. Like the vast majority of the sounds from the Star Warsmovies, Ben Burtt created the noise for ...
Music reminds audiences that they are watching a movie, so director Steven Spielberg omitted music from Saving Private Ryan’sbattle scenes. By having only the sounds of screams and gunfire, the sequences take on a horrifying reality. The loudness of war makes the moments of quiet stand out even more. Sound designer Gary Rydstrom describes the momen...
Large sections of No Country for Old Menfeature no music and little dialogue. Such minimal sound means that the sounds that are heard become all the more important. The movie’s sound editor, Skip Lievsay, explains that most suspense films rely on music. However, the Coen brothers wanted to “remove the safety net that lets the audience feel like the...
There is very little spoken dialogue in John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place due to it being set in a world where mysterious creatures kill anything that makes a sound. Sound designers Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn wanted the audience to feel what the characters were feeling. Aadahl explains that the quietness of the movie makes people “hold their br...

- Le Trou (1960) A true story based on the La Sante Prison escape in 1947, told from writer Jose Giovanni, a former criminal himself. This is an underrated masterpiece by Jacques Becker and he used all visuals to tell this story.
- Blow Up (1966) Michelangelo Antonioni has always used his imagery to convey what he wanted, whether isolation in a modernizing world, ennui and longing as a lost individual, or in this case, a film with numerous subtext but essentially about a photographer who might have witnessed a murder.
- Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) George Miller returned to his creation of the wasteland after 30 years and he did not disappoint. What followed was an insane chase film through the desert filled with eye popping visuals.
- L’Atalante (1934) The only feature film from Jean Vigo is an undisputed masterpiece of what cinema can be. HE created one of the great love stories of our time in a dreamy, almost surreal landscape filled with pure humanity.
5 days ago · Foley sounds and sound effects. Foley sounds are everyday sound effects added in post-production. They are added by the artists to match the actions playing on-screen. Sounds like footsteps, the creaking of a door or even the slight thump of the water moving inside a plastic glass, like in the movie Jurassic Park (1993), are foley sounds.
