James Horner's score.


Man, I tell you what, as beautiful as this film is as a whole, just hearing that wonderful score by James Horner is enough to break me down.

Rarely has there ever been music written for a film that's as gentle, dreamlike, sarene and magical as what is heard in this masterpiece of a film.

reply

Agree absolutely. The music alone can make me cry. In my humble opinion, only one other film with a soundtrack as evocative is K-Pax. Music by Edward Shearmur. Gentle,dreamlike, serene and magical. Just how you rightly described Field of dreams soundtrack.

reply

"The Drive Home" is the part that hits me the most.

Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here.

reply

Absolutely stunning music in that part, my favourite piece of music in the movie but it's a great score throughout.

reply

Agreed. And in case anyone hasn't already seen this from the DVD bonus features, check this out.

It is an excellent score throughout, but from the drive home to the ending, the movie really begins tugging at the heartstrings - and Mr. Horner’s score perfectly captures every mood and emotion.
