Are there any movie scores that have such a haunting effect on you, you're like "wow...This is amazing!" Or maybe even scores that are so haunting they make u feel closer to God?

Recently, I've been listening to the World Trade Center score by Craig Armstrong and there's been times where I almost broke down a cried becuase of the beuty of the piano and string work.....Haven't even seen the movie yet...but I plan to....

Also, just about any score by James Newton Howard has this effect on me.....

Some that come to mind are:

A Clockwork Orange - In this film score Wendy Carlos plays famous Classical music on analogue synthesizers, which disturbs the ear and makes them sound incredibly dark and eerie.
Blade Runner - Remarkably atmospheric electronics from a dark future, a mixture of high tech Asian and Film Noir soundscapes.
Ghost In The Shell/Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence: Moody and minimalistic traditional japanese music mixed with atmospheric synths with a very introspective feeling.
Spirited Away: Immaculately beautiful piano work.

Silent Hill's music was haunting enough to send chills down my neck. Also 28 days later's wasn't so much haunting as just well done and thrilling.

A Beautiful Mind hands down (: It has a way of being beautiful and creepy at the same time. Listening to it always seems to give me chills.
