Live Poll: Scene Defining Music in Movies
Intro:
In many movies there is a longer scene or sequence which is dominated by music, no matter if it is score music, classic music, or even a pop song. It sometimes matches the images so perfect that it will be remembered over the decades.
Which of these scenes is the most memorable because of the music? (If you forgot a scene, you can remember it by clicking the clip. Be careful: If you haven't seen the movie, the clip could spoil it for you ... in some cases.)
Sing your song here.
Suggestions:
There could be a bad flood of suggestions, so I have to be a little strict, sorry.
No movies with ratings below 6.5 No musicals or other music movies, no animation movies, no documentations, no short movies. No titles, no credits. No TV-series
Maximum 3 examples per franchise. Additional: (for each list this starts new. If you got another three for the same franchise, I'll put it on the next list)
Only one long scene or sequence per movie, simply take the best. Which is the best is debateabe.
It shouldn't be shorter than 1 minute, better 2+ minutes.
The most defining rule: The music must have such a dominant role, that it does 50% of the scene or sequence. It should be indispensable.
When you suggest, please add a youtube link to the scene- or sequence-suggestion and name the correct artist and title of the song or score-part.
I know that's very much, but I want my idea to grow as good as possible. Thank you for understanding that. Aiming for 25 options.

Bernard Herrmann's contribution to movies can't be underestimated, but, to choose one, I'll single out "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (1951), in particular, the scene where Gort is reactivated, burns through the plastic-like cube, frees Klaatu from prison, and carries him back to the spaceship.
The scene runs just over five minutes with no sound except for Herrmann's score, and a couple of laser blast sound effects.

Hi Breu and welcome back! 'Hope you had an enjoyable time. : )

The Mission: scene in which De Niro's character, Rodrigo, carries the heavy bag of armor up the cliff (music by Ennio Morricone)

Dirty Dancing: I didn't see this movie but it's so iconic that I knew about it -- but I'm not certain how long it lasts. It's long enough for them to do a good bit of dancing. Oh the scene is the dancing performance toward the end. (music: "Time of My Life" performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/mediaviewer/rm2788047872/
Ghost: 'Another movie I never saw but the scene is so iconic. I really don't know how long the scene lasts, though. It's the famous pottery scene.

Because of the big interest in the subject, I started a second list, for which options can be suggested. If I lost one of your suggestions, please suggest them again below this posting. Thank you, fellows.
(extended the Rules for further lists above:)
(for each list this starts new. If you got another three for the same franchise, I'll put it on the next list)
