From At World's End:

From 127 Hours:
''Festival''
A.R. Rahman

Great choices, but just to give credit where credit is due:

"Festival" is a song by the Icelandic post-rock ensemble, Sigur Ros....Rahman didn't write it. But I'm surprised you didn't mention "If I Rise" by Rahman on that OST instead....:) (That one even got an Oscar nom.)

Well it might not be Rahman but Festival is still my favorite track from 127 Hours. Brilliant.

If I Rise is a good song, but I'm not big fan of it.
 
I listen to the Nightmare on Elm Street score by Steve Jablonsky a lot. Now, I know that movie really isn't loved by the majority, but I feel the score was vastly underrated. Like, this is a fantastic score to me and I felt it captured Freddy really well.

Putting the movie opinion aside, what do you guys think of this track? It's probably my favorite from the movie. I'm just curious if anyone thinks the score is good even if they never even saw the movie.
The part at 3:22 wasn't used in the movie, sadly. I think that was one of the best parts of the track.
 
I'm not sure what the name of this track is but I really like it. It has a good sense of awe and mystery.
