I was listening to favorites this evening at dinner and I have several, but I think the most beautiful piece ever composed for a movie has to be Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission. If heaven has a sound, it has to be that.
Other favorites are the themes from Legends of the Fall and Out of Africa.
What do you think is the most beautiful or stirring movie theme?
My vote is for the Braveheart soundtrack.
Sons of Scotland and Freedom might be the two songs from this fantastic soundtrack that stand out the most to me.
The Last of the Mohicans them still gets me every time.

I know Karate Kid III gets a lot of flack on this site because of those goofy characters flaming each other on the board, but the training theme in this picture was great.
Gabriel's Oboe is my first choice too. It is the most beautiful and moving piece of music I've ever heard.
shareI almost forgot this one. "Okuribito" from the movie Departures.
