Shane doesn't die.  He just rides off.

The death I remember most is that of John Wayne's Sergeant in "Sands of Iwo Jim."  He's shot by a sniper & that's it.

THe only way I would talk Yankees is when they lose another playoff game and make me extremely happy.

I think I hate them more than I do Dallas.

(Remember, I was born and bred a Brooklyn Dodger fan, and ANY Brooklyn Dodger fan that said, well they left so they became a Yankee fan was NEVER a really true Dodger fan. It was ingrained in you to HATE the Yankees and I have never given up on that.) 

You hated the Giants even more!

Sorry Obs.  But I'll stick with Willy's catch.  When he made it, there were men on first & second and his perfect throw from the deepest part of the Polo Grounds held the guy on second to just 3rd base.  That made his throw, IMO, the greatest.

I have watched my fair share of musicals. Anything with Fred Astaire in it is accompanied by a great score. If I have to choose though, my favorite movie scores are:

Holiday Inn - Not sure of the composer   IRVING BERLIN
Yankee Doodle Dandy - George M. Cohan
&
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Danny Elfman

There are a lot of great ones though.

Still NOT what I'm looking for.  THANKS anyway, ozzie.

Here's a couple more on my list:

2.  BIG Country by Jerome Moross

3.  MAGNIFICENT SEVEN by Elmer Bernstein

THANKS for being the first to answer Jolly.  I love the Baby Elephant Walk.  But I'm not looking for songs.  I'm looking for overall musical scores as the necessary background music.  For example, here's my all-time favorite score:

BEN HUR by Miklos Rozsa.

What do you consider the greatest score you ever heard for a movie?   Who was the composer?
