I am after songs that are very similar to the Gladiator opening theme.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, to find such music?

Don't you mean the Gladiator closing scene

Not really sure of any tear jerkers.... The Bridges of Madison County seems to have my mum in tears :loopy:

Forest Gump also has a tear jerker theme.

An uplifting one has to be the music on The Shawshank Redemption when 'Andy' escapes from the prison :thumbsup:

Craig Armstrong Balcony Scene stands out for me

Braveheart theme - tears of a princess, is an amazing tune! somehow the dance version is just as good too. :clap:

The music in the film AVANTI, this is quite an old film but the music is memorable.

Here's a long shot :thumbsup:

go to www.classicfm.com

and in their search bar (top right) home page

type in the word 'movie' :huh:

I just tried it & got 250 search results! :wow:

then look for compilations or even try 'movie compilation' :idea:

Good luck:D
