If we're moving towards kitsch, I'll see your Austin Powers and raise you a Saturday Night Fever. Bee Gees anyone? :DQuote:

John Williams (a different John Williams, the Australian guitarist John Williams) playing Stanley Myers' "Cavatina" (also known as The Theme From The Deer Hunter). I would have said haunting but that may be a little strong.

Continuing through my movie collection, I thought Klaus Badelt's music in "The Pirates of the Caribbean" movies was excellent. It really added to the action scenes.
Can anything top the sound track to Apocalypse Now though? Especially the Redux version.
The use of The Doors "The End" added immensely to the effect I thought.
Love The Doors. Thought the use of "Ride of the Valkyries" was excellent but I think the movie was so good it stood up on it's own without the soundtrack.Quote:

I'd argue the movie, while good on it's on, was made into the cult classic that it is through the clever music it featured.
Black Hawk Down also had some excellent music in it.
James Newton Howards score for Blood Diamond was also top notch
I completely agree with Blues Brothers, Rocky Horror and Apocalypse Now. We played the Flight Of The Valkyries at Oakey when the Huey's arrived at Oakey from Canberra when we stole them off the RAAF. My all time favorite soundtrack will always be Topgun. Eddie and The Cruisers gets an honorable mention though.
Ahh of course. Kenny Loggins with "Danger Zone"Quote:
