Most moving music segment in a movie?



Honestly shocked no one has picked these yet. Some of your guys picks are... interesting. I wouldn't really call them "moving."

Fun fact, James Horner would rip his own theme played here for use in his film Bicentennial man. It plays during a transition when andrew the robot is drawing and little miss is walking on the beach.

Also, I don't know why people like that Sunshine theme so much.
It's the same simple chord progression that at least 8 films have used before and since.

anywho,
couldn't find a clip of when the epicness kicks in, but here's Gabriel's Oboe, which is the predecessor to On Earth as it is in Heaven. Probably one of my favorite soundtracks scores.
 
Lux Aeterna Clint Mansell



Fuori dal mondo the music that starts at around 4.30.



Chariots of fire Vangelis



In the house in a heartbeat John Murphy starts at 2.40



Scene from the lovely bones with Brian Enos big ship cant find that but that was good.
 
^Good call on the chariots of fire.
Fun fact number two, Vangelis was sued for plagiarism for chariots of fire, and to this day, incorporates the F-G-A-G turn into many of his scores, the most recent being Alexander with Colin Ferrel, if I'm not mistaken. It plays during the scene with Young Alexander and Angelina Jolie when she calls him Achilles.
 
of all time



this one too. a beautiful turning point.

completely forgot about The Mission. great movie and amazing soundtrack.

mendoza's redemption is also a great scene with moving music:



and thinking about ennio morricone, i think The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was mentioned earlier, but i'll also post the obvious final duel from For A Few Dollars More:

Didn't see it mentioned, but the scene in Lord of the Rings when the hobbit is the servant for the Steward, and he commands him to sing while he eats. Then you see the soldiers riding off to certain death during the song, pretty powerful scene.
