... that always blows you off your feet, everytime you hear it is...?FATE HAPPENS/DEATH OF A MAD SON from Dead Again, by Patrick Doyle. This is such a great, operatic action cue, with choir, big orchestra. Just unbelievable stuff. Philipp np: dead again (doyle)

Arthur's Farewell from FIRST KNIGHT (also known as 'Never Surrender' which I think is a far better title) is one of Goldsmith's most kick ass tracks, thunderously pounding with full choir it's epic stuff indeed!I'll leave it at that, I could list loads more but then it just becomes another boring list.

There's far too many to mention, but the first two that leapt into my head (for some completely bizarre reason, maybe to do with what I've been thinking about recently or something) were:The Creation Scene - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Doyle). Furious, full on - woah!! Death Dance - Alien3 - Elliot Goldenthal. Utterly insane, nasty. Pure Goldenthal magic.  If I started to think about this at all, then there'd be just a huge long list, which would get boring. So I won't. Oh, damn too late. How about Raisuli Attacks, or The Hunt, or Retreat, or.... Better stop there methinks. NP Medal of Honor Underground

The one that always twists my gut......the stretch from Glory when they are marching onto the beach. Or when the force theme kicks in when Vader tosses the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. Or...nevermind.

Too many to name... The only tracks to "blow me away" lately (since last summer actually) would be tracks 7 and 8 from Arnold's The Musketeer.

Timmer, I actually like "Arthur's Farewell" because it's a misleading title. It sounds like it's going to be a "boring" cue from reading the title, so you mentally prepare yourself for that. And when it turns out to be this HUGE choral cue, it's that much more of a ballgrabber!Shaun

-The Grand Finale from Edward Scissorhands
-Coffey On The Mile from The Green Mile
-Journey To The Line (Pearl Harbor Trailer Mix) from The Thin Red Line
-The Death of Thomas and The Parish Church Aflame from The Patriot
-Blow-Out from Armageddon
-Operation Dinner Out from Spy Game
-Pretty much all of Pearl Harbor
-The Grand Finale from The Family Man
-The original trailer music from Titanic
-There's a track in Courage Under Fire towards the end when the real story is finally being told and everything goes to slow motion and the strings get really low and loud and it's very dramatic. To bad it wasn't released.Clayton NP: Deep Blue Sea (Trevor Rabin) [Message edited by scoreguy16 on 04-10-2002]

Well, there's clearly "Across the Desert" and ESPECIALLY "Meeting The Herd" from JNH's Dinosaur.
There are also things like "Escape To India" from Glass' Kundun and "The Road To Masada" from Goldsmith's Masada.
A few others that come to mind, Yoko Kanno stuff because I've been listening to it lately; Moon, from Yoko Kanno's Turn A Gundam. Also Chain, from Yoko Kanno and Hajime Mizoguchi's Escaflowne, and Black Escaflowne, from their score for the movie. ELM and Green Bird from Kanno's Cowboy Bebop scores.
I could always come up with more...John

Because no dictatorial moderator is around to enforce the rule. If FishChip were to erase all answers which contain more than one entry, it would work.

One?! I can't narrow it down to one!Wind and the Lion - "Main Title"
Night Crossing - "Main Title"
Tess - "Tess" (the first track )
Good, Bad, Ugly - "Ecstacy of Gold"
Airport - "Main Title" -- Are there any other recordings of this besides the album and what Gerhardt did? The album version seems to suffer from a tempo problem in places and Gerhardt... well, he didn't exactly get it right, either.
Star Wars - "Main Title" (duh)
Sodom and Gomorrah - "Overture" I have to agree with Al's suggestion of "Where?" from Mission to Mars, which is another great piece of music. John Dunham brought up "Road to Masada" and I'll have to second that one as well.

This isn't exactly a soundtrack, but it definately makes gets me going. I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned here, yet. It's POMPEII by E.S. Posthumus. Listening to it makes me want to run around the house like crazy (or like spiderman ).My alltime favorite cue that makes me feel this way has been mentioned a couple times, the end credits from The Empire Strikes Back.

Superman The Movie: Helicopter sequence, Clark rips open his shirt for the first time and BAM!!! There's one of the greatest themes of all time triumphantly played. VERY close to being matched when he actually catches the chopper. Man...EVERYTIME, I get chills. Raiders of the Lost Arl: Indy swims to the other sub. Batman Returns: The batsignal is activated and Bruce, sitting alone in the dark in a huge room sees it and stands up. Star Wars: Oh man...there are many.
Trench Run: "Use the Force, Luke!"
Wampa Cave, using the force to get the saber
Finale of ESB: Luke hanging onto the antennae...probably THE most beautiful moment of William's history, IMO
Vader tosses the Emperor down the core.
Luke sets his father on fire.

I forgot one score that's very emotional and beautiful! My Life by John Barry! I love this score so I can't pick out just one track. But I'd say the tracks Main Title, The Old Neighborhood, D-Day and End Title are the bestest!Clayton NP My Life
