The entire 'spider' sequence from KRULL (Horner) - represented by two cues, "The Widow's Web" and "The Widow's Lullaby", is a stunning 11 minute suite of music with so many emotions at play, from dissonant terror of the rawest order (with Ligeti-esque blasts of choral dissonance) through celestial awe (the ending of the former track) and pathos-laden nostalgic yearning (the children's choir in the latter cue), to the rapturous recapitulation of the love theme that follows and finally a massive orchestral and choral crescendo that evokes fear and wonder simultaneously. BRILLIANT.
Not only does Horner's music here add tremendous maturity and depth to this sequence (which itself, dodgy stop-motion for the spider aside, is the most original and affecting scene in the film), but it is, compositionally, a true marvel of virtuosic proportions, and a high water mark in Horner's output in my opinion.
I will never understand why this score isn't considered his best EVER. The while damn thing is jsut freaking awesome. It leaves his TREK scores absolutely gasping for air in my opinion (not that I don't think they're great, but... They're no KRULL, that's for sure!).
100% agree. Horner's best and my favourite soundtrack ever.

"Happiness" - the honeymoon montage from DAYS OF HEAVEN.
The score has me dying to see the movie.
Did Superman/Lois Lane aka Reeve/Kidder's flying come up?
The first, deep kiss in Vertigo (backround spinning).

Here's an unpopular one: "Flight" from Man of Steel (when Superman first flies). Awesome.

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL: "Saying Goodbye" especially at the apex.
I was going to mention this but hey there are so many beautiful suggestions in this discussion which is a wonderful topic. Hey sometimes when watching a movie I find one then along comes another. You just can't have one.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN - Basil Poledouris
"Atlantean Sword" scene, with wonderful, mystery and beauty music, and finale "Battle of the Mounds" scene, starts with battle preparations and Conan speech... And "Recovery" scene with Conan sword practice...
Pure magic.
And to be honest all scenes with Basil music in this movie are just great....

It's wonderful. In fact, the post-mortem stuff with Valeria is spine-chilling to me.
