Have you ever had a moment when you experience this inexplicable sensation of orgasm when listening to a specific score or cue? I am using the word not in a traditional sense, of course. What I mean by that is do you get goosebumps or shivers up your spine?
I am curious to know if there any cues which have such effect on you. I noticed that in my case this happens usually during climax in music.
Twice in WATERWORLD, during the action/derring-do tracks, JNH gets a little...almost...dance rhythm going with the orchestral heroics. It never fails to make me tingle.
I've said this several times hereabouts, but the moment in Once Upon a Time in the West when the little boy appears at the ranch door and sees that his family has been gunned down, together with Morricone's twanging guitar, has never failed to raise the hairs on the back of my neck.
I don't recall that particular symptom ever happening during the other type

Which cue is that?
Sorry, I'm not sure it's part of a cue, could just be underscore - but there are people better qualified than me who could offer some thoughts on this.
Another moment that I find deeply affecting is in The Legend of 1900, when the first person on the ship to notice the Statue of Liberty shouts "Ameeeerica!" and Morricone's music somehow changes down a gear yet the result is electrifying.
Sorry to keep going on about Morricone, but only Shostakovich has a similar effect on me - and that's in his non-film music, by and large.
Man, there are so many to point to, but the first one I thought of was when the french horns come in at the end of "The Mutant" from Total Recall (from 2:59).

TG, absolutely !
I'm not ashamed to admit it, but this scene reduces me to tears......
The climax of "No Escape" in PLANET OF THE APES. If you were lucky enough -- and now old enough -- to see it in its original release, the audience was also cheering. And I recall when I first saw the movie, in early April 1968, there was an intermission at that point.
