Bill Conti wrote the main score (LSU and TB Alumn)
Favorite was the rocket launch (cant remember if it was Sheppard or Glenn) with Mars The Bringer of War

All of the Barry Lyndon soundtrack, particularly the funeral adagio used in the death and funeral procession for Bryon Lyndon. (“Sarabande, 4th movement” Written by George Frideric Handel. From the Suite for Harpsichord in D-minor, HWV 437. Arranged for orchestra.)
Not an instrumental, but the opera scene in Hannibal featuring Vide cor Meum , particularly with the Dante tie in, is a perfect use of the piece.
It's used again in The Death of Baldwin in Kingdom of Heaven and it works there fairly well also.

The score from Gallipoli.

Some of my recent favorites
Sicario
Interstellar
Joker
Inception
The Social Network (not “powerful” but still great)
Requiem for a Dream
That crazy 10 minute sequence at the end of Annihilation was made by the score

Animated movies have some great ones too.
Up- Married Life
Iron Giant- Superman
Inside Out- main theme
Lion King’s score is so good outside of the soundtrack songs too

Great work but I think The Mission is his masterpiece.
Once Upon a Time in the West wasn’t too shabby, either...

Last of the Mohicans is the answer.
I’ll also add Jeremiah Johnson as a great soundtrack, too.

Nothing will top Luke Skywalker staring out at the twin sunset with the force theme playing.
