(i know no one asked for this and this isn& #39;t really classical music but i love this stuff ;;;;)

1. rocky (1976) - bill conti

starting off strong with a KICKASS soundtrack. conti takes the theme from the inspirational rock song opening and turns it into everything from a sad piano ballad to a four-voice fugue. it& #39;s a wild ride.

2. the mission (1986) - ennio morricone

the opening oboe solo is everything. this is gentle, and powerful, and before i know it i have tears streaming down my face. in my opinion, this is what hope sounds like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oag1Dfa1e_E">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

3. la strada (1854) - nina rota

perhaps the most gorgeous trumpet solo of all time. the melody is so charming yet so sad? this piece of music speaks of longing and heartache and it& #39;s so gorgeous. and when it gets mischievious.... oh boy. it& #39;s so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hYERQKFb6E">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

4. moon river, from breakfast in tiffany& #39;s (1961) - henry mancini

this always brings a smile to my face. there& #39;s something so nostalgic about his music; moon river is maybe one of his simplest tracks, but that, i think, is what makes it so beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ed07ogWgiw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

5. whiplash (2014) - hank levy, arr. justin hurwitz

is it fair to include a jazz standard in this thread? but look, it& #39;s the title track, and the rest of the soundtrack is also incredible. whiplash is absolute fire, and so, so, so damn hard to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJrTYOyXHA0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
