Songs and scenes from films that give you goosebumps

Mister Vain

What scenes and soundtracks from films give you goosebumps?

This scene from Deep Impact was a big one for me.

And more recently I discovered this music from the new Interstellar film which I think is just brilliant.

Hopefully no spoilers ITT.


I think my all time favourite would have to be LOTR - bridge of khazad dum. Was also used in the Man of Steel trailer, a movie which also has a great soundtrack.


4:50 onwards. Absolutely incredible!

2:50 onwards, goes absolutely perfectly with the scene.

Titzon Toast

In Platoon when Alyas almost makes it back to the helicopter but doesn't.
I still turn my head away for that bit.

Edit
I've given up trying to add a video using my phone, sorry!

Another LOTR one, in Return of the King when the beacons are lighting between Minas Tirith and Edoras, the swelling music and the gorgeous scenery was just spectacular.

Elessar

The new Hobbit trailer is pretty spectacular:

Brings me back to the excitement of the LOTR days!

This at the end of Michael Collins. The footage from his funeral and the music make me very emotional. Really powerful piece of music.

For some reason they've sped it up, but I always thought this scene was pretty epic:

Another one from Sunshine:

In world war z, the scene in Jerusalem when the people are singing and playing drums celebrating reaching safety while the zombies make the human pyramid on the other side and then spill over.

The fifth element, when Lelu finds the entry for war while researching human history and almost decides we are not worth saving.

Run Lola run, first time I saw it I found all the little snapshots of the lives of the people they run past on the street very powerful, considering it was a whole life summed up in three seconds

DoozerT6

In 'It's a wonderful Life', after George meets Clarence and goes to Martini's Bar - when Mr Gower (the pharmacist) comes in, and everybody makes fun of him before roughing him up and throwing him out....I thought it was incredibly poignant, and almost ahead of it's time cinematically, where Mr Gower seems to laugh along with those poking fun at him, seemingly (I thought) hoping they would stop. I love that film, but that particular scene makes me...uncomfortable, I think. I don't know why.

Also, the last ten minutes or so of Schindlers List - the graveyard scene. Absolutely, incredibly poignant for many reasons. If you've seen it, you'll understand. Goosebumps and ALL OF THE TEARS!!!

This scene from "Gravity". When I have depressive episodes I feel *exactly* like Clooney's suggestion here, the kind of escapism where you withdraw to a happy place where "there's nobody here that can hurt you" - the idea of being able to go into space, turn off the radio / comms / whatever and be truly and completely alone to brood is strangely appealing.

I'd imagine there are others who go through these spells who'd relate to what I'm talking about?

Buona Fortuna

There's a few but one of my guilty pleasures is:

• The whole Emma Thompson/Alan Rickman thing
• The Colin Firth bit
• The Keira Knightley non love affair with whatisname
• The Martin Freeman thing

I know its all kitsch;)

Don't watch this if you want to watch the film - its a great film

Would also say the opening scene in The Searchers is incredible as is the cinematography throughout the film. Likewise the Pool scene in The life and Death of Col Blimp.

Friday Night Lights (movie) amongst the chaos that is the final game, the dad and the running backs embrace on the sideline.

Shyte at links but the end of the movie Seven gave me goosebumps!!!!......

Starscream25

Not a film but I'm going to mention this anyway, maybe the best scene from battlestar galactica, the score for it was that of a masterpiece composed by bear mccreary, this particular scene is maybe the most dramatic in the entire series, the music kicks in at 33 seconds but suits the nature and context of the scene very fittingly, hope the embedding works.

So eerily beautiful, moments of the film run through my head as this plays.

Hercule Poirot

While they took the mick with all the sequels that followed - the first Saw film is brilliant and the theme tune is exceptionally goosebumpy
Rubbish with links though...

The film Mysterious Skin has some very powerful scenes. It really is a very underrated film, although the subject matter may be a bit too much for some people. The soundtrack is brilliant as well, although I'm a huge Shoegaze fan so would be biased. Definitely a must watch IMO.

Mister Vain

The ending from Midnight Express is another fantastic one. Great scene and soundtrack. I found out years later after reading the book that this is not how it actually ended. Still great though.

I found it sort of funny tbh, completely different from the book!

At the end of Brokeback Mountain, Ennis opens his closet and we see the two shirts hanging on a hook under the postcard picture of the mountain .... Ennis straightens the picture and touches the shirts and then says, "Jack, I swear...

I know it's not a movie, but the series did intimate and cinematic without sweating

Everytime I see mob rule or witchunts in the real world, I think of this scene.
What other show would allow a 5 minute speech from one actor.

The actor wrote it himself too, and received a standing ovation afterwards.

Heavy spoilers obviously. Sums the series to that point.

Not films, but if you want goosebumps, connect a surround sound system up and run one or more of these videos with the volume set to a good level.

They're Andre Rieu in one form or another, but the atmosphere of these events is simply amazing.

Probably my favourite David Lynch scene!

works better within the context of the movie though

In fairness that film came out in 2007, if you haven't watched it already then there's a high chance you're not going to!

Apologies anyway.

I read the book, don't ever remember the ending though.

The film was just weird... 3 characters from The Walking Dead 3 years before it even went on tele too!

Conspiracy methinks!
