                          I second that. Some years ago, I was told, awards were given to the movies with the most convincing animal costumes. This was at a time when 2001 certainly would have been eligible, and critical voices asked why 2001 wasn't even nominated. The nomination committee replied that the awards were for the best animal costume, not for movies showing well trained real animals. The good thing about outdated technology, such as DVD/BD, is that if I make a reference to 2001 (say) to some kid whose father wasn't born when the movie came out, I can walk over to my bookshelf to fetch the movie and slip it into the player, to let the kid see what it is all about. For its day, the movie is truly impressing. Really worth watching, but if you do, watch it as a 1968 movie, not as a 2022 one!

                            If it is mandatory to be a song, then Pavarotti singing 'Nessun Dorma' from the film 'Yes Giorgio'.

                                    One of the most stirring pieces, and perfectly matching the part of the movie at that point, it must be 'Promontory' from 'The Last of the Moficans'. The Last of the Mohicans (1992) - 'Promontory' scene [1080 ] - YouTube[^]

                                      That movie felt like it lasted 2001 years. Most boring movie ever. I respect that it was amazing in its time, but as far as I'm concerned it really didn't stand the test of time. Maybe my expectation were too high, since everyone and their dog regards it as one of the best movies ever, which also makes it one of the most overrated movies ever. Wouldn't recommend it except to mess with someone I don't like. The soundtrack was awesome though.
