Have you ever been in a state of awe when listening to compositions from movies.
I've been listening obsessively to a couple scores in the recent days. Steve Jablonsky's Arrival to Earth and Clint Mansell's Requiem for a Dream. I couldn't help but stare at the monitor into total amazement and awe as a wave of emotions was hitting me over and over. I almost felt a tear come out but held it back. Do you guys ever go through this experience when listening to such beautiful music?

The scene in Jaws where Brody is at the kitchen table with his son made me cry. I freely admit that. For years I searched for that specific accompanying piece, and was not able to find it until either the 25th or 30th anniversary special edition of the soundtrack, which included that, and the rest of the music remained loyal to the actual film sequence and running lengths.
There was also a scene in Hannibal during the Italian play where the opera singers were doing their version of a piece from Dante's Inferno. I could hear Hannibal's heart beating for Clarice begging forgiveness for what he is.

The sex scene in the first Highlander film to the instrumental bit of 'Who wants to live forever'. I try and recreate it but that scene's at least four times too long, plus I'd need someeone else there.

Oddly enough, I noticed this as well- I was watching Aliens yesterday, and during the Newt rescue scene, I was like "hey, wait- that's "Battle in the Mutara Nebula" playing!" I've watched Aliens so many times; I'm surprised I never noticed it before.inflatable dalek wrote:I was in awe when watching Aliens yesterday. Awe that Horner got paid for reusing chunks of his Star Trek scores.
