Parts of the music.

I think the "Mr and Mrs Tideman" motif in the score is one of the most haunting and lovely pieces of music I've ever heard in a movie.

The main theme is great, too. Military and heroic, just suited the story perfectly.

The Final Countdown is one of three movies that made me a soundtrack collector over 40 years ago. The other two are Superman The Movie and Bond-movie Moonraker. They were composed by three John's: Scott, Williams and Barry.

100% agree with the "Tideman theme"... I used to get chills years ago before I became a musician and I still get them during that scene.

" just suited the story perfectly " I absolutely agree.
