This place is so dead the mods don't even shut down duplicates and redirect to preexisting (read: identical) threads anymore.

Oh sorry Quint! Threads merged.

First things that come to mind: 

Ecstasy: Cadillac of the Skies (the concert version perhaps a tad more than the film one).

                You Are the Pan (the actual scene where Rufio hands Pan the sword).

Joy: Exsultate Justi.

         Remembering Childhood (the flying theme portion).

 

Great choices!

Terrific choice.  Always loved the Jaws theme quickly thrown in @ :09 seconds.

 

Gotta love some Augie's Great Municipal Band.

You know, I was listening to this just today, and I really love the transition from Augie's to the Star Wars end title. 

 

This transition is probably my second favourite out of all 8 Star Wars films, after the original.

Completely agree.  Next to A New Hope, it's my favorite!

[Mitth'raw'nuorodo 43]

Exultate Justi, Olympic Fanfare, Hail To The Winner Anakin Skywalker, Adventures on Earth, and the last part of Battle of Endor III.

Poe's theme is quite joyful.

I Can Fly Anything always puts a smile on my face.
