Classical style music in Movie soundtracks

[gprengel]

Today I listened to the ending of a movie with a breathtaking beauty in classical style of music:

Isn't that awesome?

Do you know of any examples of Classical style music in Movie soundtracks?

There are also some very nice chorales in there. When it comes to film music I always think of Korngold as being amongst the best.

Well, Peter, I can not really say that this speaks to me and I also wouldn't consider it "classical". Korngold I adore only for one overwhelming duett in his opera "Die tote Stadt"

Another wonderful piece which comes to my mind is:

I love Korngold's music, especially his musical score for one of my all time favorite films, The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn.

Indeed, and not just because my cousin Jim Caviezel portrays Jesus in this film.

Wow, Jim Caviezel is your cousin? He did an outstanding job in this tough role as Jesus!!! And he also seems to beleive personally and live as a Christian what he was performing here in this remarkable movie ...

Yes, cousin Jim is quite the good catholic boy. I survived 12 years of catholic schools but once I turned 18 the only times I'll go into a catholic church is to check out its architecture. Here in Beethoven's Vienna there is a catholic church practically on every corner. But they are beautiful old structures and one of my favorites is our St. Stephan's Cathedral's gothic architecture. Also the St. Michael's church here in Heiligenstadt is a lovely small church that I'm sure Beethoven has at least once set foot within its walls. He was able to see this church from the window when he lived at the "Heiligenstadt Testament" house here. But back in Beethoven's time this church didn't have this spire but it had an onion shaped dome. This spire came much later in the 1800s.
