What would you say are some of the most powerful and moving pieces of music you have heard in movies?

Since I have a bit of a things for those kinds of music, I thought I'd ask what SG thinks about this.

I know I am going to see Alan Siventri's Endgame theme The Real Hero here so I thought I'd post it first.

Wow. Even now the music still brings a tear to my eyes. I admit it. I hope he wins for best music.

Not a movie. Or a game. But a blast from the past (1978) that will play in your head:

Richard Burton's iconic voice and that soundtrack 👌
Oh, there's a Stage musical production vid on yt:

If you don't know it, at least listen to about the 5 minute mark.

Edit: German version with Curd Jürgens, another iconic, albeit german voice.

I'm also going with Endgame, and I also really like The Real Hero, but the music that gives me the most shivers is Portals.
It's such a refreshing take on the Avengers theme, while still staying true to the original.
Plus the scene in itself was highly memorable.
Went to see the movie 7 times in theatres within the 3 first weeks of release, guess that makes me a bit crazy ^^.

The intro song is good as well but for me this song represents that game a lot more despite not being actually part of the game.

Here's the intro in case the first video didn't fill your nostalgia quota.
