Scores that snag you

The love the solo piano version, too.

I love the score from The Fountain, especially the crescendo towards the end of "Death is the Road to Awe" where the traveler character explodes into pure energy.

Blade Runner.

This one came up on Spotify recently. Satie redux but I love it anyway.

R4 Rorschach?

Jill's Theme from Once Upon a Time in the West

Also from Morricone: The Sundown, from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. It's only played in this one scene:

I heard this when I was 13 and deeply in the closet. It still makes me both ache and soar. A classic.

Cinema Paradiso - another Morricone masterpiece.

Santa Barbara, 1979. This one makes me feel nostalgic for a time I wasn’t even born in to remember. Transcendent.

Although the film itself was not great, Morricone wrote an amazing score for Lolita (1997).

John Williams, E.T. soundtrack. This track in particular gets me.

This is a good thread, OP.

I own 2 soundtracks of scores. One is Remains of the Day.

The other is Dances with Wolves, a movie I couldn't watch again as it seems silly now. But the score is great.

Stéphane Grappelli's scores for Les Valseuses (Going Places) and Milou en Mai (May Fools).

Ugh, will try it again...
