Please rank these three clips in the order of which you think would be the most musically creative?

Hachi - A Dog's Tale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyQAPA3J-Y8

A dog keeps coming to a train station waiting for his master to come home from work on the train, but his master died years before and the dog has been coming everyday ever since.

The New World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A63SvyenNHg

This opening scene shows the landing of the Jamestown, Virginia settlement from both the British/Native sides. This scene could be scored in a variety of ways.

House of Sand and Fog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZYaPJusQf4

This scene depicts the last minutes of an Iranian's officer's life. He is grief-stricken from the loss of his son, and kills his wife through over medication in her tea. Now he is returning to the memories of his former country.

Animals, science fiction, outer space, superheros, scenes that give a chance for Americana scoring, usually inspire the best kind of music.

When in doubt, always chose the cuties, fluffiest one, and that's the dog.

The New Number 2: "Are you going to run?"
Number 6: "Like blazes. First chance I get."

Gotta go with House of Sand and Fog, but then, that's my second favourite score of all time so I might be biased. New World is high up on my list too, though...and Hachi, while not one of my favie scores, is probably my favourite movie of the bunch, and it's a beautiful, heartbreaking scene.
