Music in Films # 1

In anticipation of something I was thinking of writing about I'd like to post a few examples of good use of music in films, which enhances both the piece of music and the film itself. Not definitive. Just a few off the top of my head. I also added the directors because it only works because they make it work. There will be Part 2.
