The pulsating score to The Social Network was composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and it deservedly won the Oscar for Best original Score.

The dark, techno, moody score is so addictive to listen to, although arguably the most famous track, is a remix of Edvard Grieg's In The Hall Of The Mountain King, which helps make the rowing race sequence so incredible.

Remarkably, while the two men had known each other for years, this was the first time they had made a film score together and they would subsequently go onto compose the music for more Fincher movies including The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl and they'll reunite again for the upcoming Mank.
