"Cocoon: The Return (1988) - 'Scuba Dive' scene 1080p This film is a terrible sequel adding absolutely nothing to the magic of the original story and answering none of the questions fans might have been curious about. Composer James Horner arranged the music from the first film to fit the second also adding hardly anything fresh. Still he had beautiful music to work with and this underwater scene works very well. Starring Don Ameche Wilford Brimley Courteney Cox Hume Cronyn Brian Dennehy Jack Gilford Steve Guttenberg Maureen Stapleton Jessica Tandy Gwen Verdon Barret Oliver and Tahnee Welch."

"One Battle After Another (2025) - Opening scene There are so many brilliant score moments in this film. Jonny Greenwood's score jumps effortlessly from style to style helping the film flow and adding heaps of tension. It's hard to do justice in a couple of minutes to the main scenes he embellishes because most of them (like the 'River of Hills' sequence) need to be seen in their entirety. But here's the relatively simple opening scene which sets the tone nicely. Although the main title appears on screen in a later scene this track is named 'One Battle After Another' on the soundtrack album."

After it's theatrical release Cameron went back and added nearly half an hour of extra footage including a significantly different ending but this scene as presented here is identical in both versions.

This is the most memorable one - an opera performance by a weird blue alien which then segues into an action piece. The film makes full use of composer Eric Serra's standout piece 'The Diva Dance' by interspersing the opera scenes with the action happening elsewhere. It's one of a couple of highlights on an otherwise messy and grating soundtrack but it's quite stunning. Starring Bruce Willis Gary Oldman Milla Jovovich Chris"

"Fargo (1996) - 'Fargo North Dakota' (Opening) scene [----] Fargo is one of the Coen Brothers' best films which is high praise considering their superb filmography. It's a wonderfully quaint but brutal crime thriller all blanketed in pure white snow. The opening titles set the scene perfectly with the characters emerging from the whiteness and the music signalling the drama to come. Carter Burwell is their regular composer and this is one of his most famous themes. The film's overall feel has been wonderfully translated to the TV series in the past couple of years along with the music. Written"

"Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) - 'Ben Kenobi's Death' scene It has always fascinated me that composer John Williams chose to score this scene 'incorrectly'. He scores the entire saga with a leitmotif approach using specific themes for specific characters and events. But here one of the most shocking and pivotal moments of the first film he abandons that approach in favour of what sounds best. Leia's theme fits the scene perfectly with the agonised drama reflected on Luke's face and felt by us as we see Vader prod the cloak with his boot. There's no real reason to use Leia's theme here but it"

James Newton Howard was called in at the last minute to write the score after something didn't work out with composer Howard Shore and he contributed a handful of gorgeous themes with the film's New York third act being particularly beautiful sad and at times epic.

Written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson and directed by Anderson. Starring Bill Murray Jason Schwartzman Olivia Williams Luke Wilson Connie Nielsen Seymour Cassel and Brian Cox.

"One Battle After Another (2025) - Opening scene There are so many brilliant score moments in this film. Jonny Greenwood's score jumps effortlessly from style to style helping the film flow and adding heaps of tension. It's hard to do justice in a couple of minutes to the main scenes he embellishes because most of them (like the 'River of Hills' sequence) need to be seen in their entirety. But here's the relatively simple opening scene which sets the tone nicely. Although the main title appears on screen in a later scene this track is named 'One Battle After Another' on the soundtrack album."

"Die Another Day (2002) - 'Hovercraft Chase' scene The more over-the-top the opening action sequence is the more effective the moment when it ends and the title song hits the screen. This one was definitely overblown but David Arnold manage to compose a piece of action music that stands alone nicely as well as occasionally rising above the drowning sound effects.

"The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - 'Evacuating London' (Main Titles) scene The opening Blitz scene is scored like any similar action sequence. But it's here during the main titles that the music starts to suggest that we are watching something a bit magical. I didn't love this track back when the film was released but it has grown on me including the Lisbeth Scott vocals. Starring Georgie Henley Skandar Keynes William Moseley Anna Popplewell Tilda Swinton James McAvoy Jim Broadbent Liam Neeson Ray Winstone Dawn French and Rupert Everett. Co-written and directed by Andrew Adamson"

Harry Gregson-Williams was handed the daunting task of composer and he got off to a great start.

"Predator (1987) - 'The Chopper' scene When your protagonists are dropped wordlessly into an unfamiliar and hostile environment it takes a mix of factors to help portray how creepy the situation is.

"Predator (1987) - 'Main Titles' scene Director John McTiernan doesn't waste much time with prologues and introductions - he drops us straight into the scene of the action and the mission is stated within minutes of the film starting. Composer Alan Silvestri has just a few seconds to capture the wonder of space and he does so before moving up a gear and making it clear that we're in action mode. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger Carl Weathers Jesse Ventura Shane Black Kevin Peter Hall Bill Duke Elpidia Carrillo and Sonny Landham. Directed by John McTiernan with an original score by Alan"
