Soul-stirring sight / sound combinations in TV and real life

[Mannginger]

There have been some excellent pieces of footage (both from film and real life) which when combined with the right music have the ability to really provoke a memory, or raise goose-bumps and the hairs on the back of your neck

I was minded to start this thread when I picked up the end of Pavarotti's version of Nessun Dorma - I can't hear that without thinking of Italia 90, the song is epic in his hands and the memories become so vivid.

So here's a few to start you off, would be great to see more:

BBC Intro for Italia 90

Platoon - Barber's adagio
