Evocative music from movies/tv

Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres

What are some songs that you really love from movies or tv because of the way you felt when you watched it?

I love the theme music in Gladiator for example. And the song Breath Me by Sia will always make me think of the final scene in Six Feet Under. When Salieri describes the layer of complexity in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, it almost hurt. I’m looking for the music that really made you feel something.

I know this is probably a common response, but man… I can never get over how the Interstellar soundtrack makes me feel. I never get tired of listening to it, and it still makes me tear up.

Murder on the dance floor by Sophie Ellis Bextor from Saltburn

Some of the theme music from Haunting of Hill House is very beautiful and evocative. And "If I go, I'm going" by Gregory Alan Isakov plays at the end and never ceases to make me tear up
