Hitch 57 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 "The Murder" from PSYCHO. Marion didn't take too kindly to Stanley steak knifes."Everywhere" from POWDER. Goldsmith's brass section never sounded better. Always gives me goosebumps every time.The entire score to "AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER" by Hugo Friedhoffer. "Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there..." ----- Stop it...I'm beginning to cry now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholas 1 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 The one scene in a film where music playes a pivotal part and that invariably makes me boo is in "The Mighty." It's the scene where Max is running through the streets of Cincinnatti when his friend has died. Trevor Jones's music is wonderful here - a solo choirboy sings above the orchestra. It's a wonderful part of a really beautiful and underrated score.I've noticed that often the effect of music in a film is enhanced when the music is played without any background noise, as in the scene described above. There's a scene in that monumental and clumsy epic "A Bridge Too Far" (a film I was inexplicably enamoured with when a child) where a jeep, containing Laurence Olivier no less (playing a doctor) passes through a ruined Arnhem. John Addison's beautifully sad, although plagiarised, theme plays without interruption as the camera pans across the ruin. Somehow so much more powerful than if you could hear machine guns and explosions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,019 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 His death is pretty haunting, but "Funeral for a Jedi" takes the cake with sadness.True. The cue for his death scene is almost...twistedly respectful toward the man, and then the funeral pyre scene...ohh. The funeral pyre seen. So bittersweet. I love it.

Ollie 1,053 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Georges Delerue wrote many cues that tug at your heart."Rose's Death" from Cocoon (James Horner) is a very sad cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
