And 'I would walk 500 miles' at the end of Sunshine on Leith. I would have loved to take part in that!

The closing song Queen Bee from the film Emma with Bill Nighy. Composed and sung by Johnny Flynn.

It's the final ten minues or so of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind which always gets to me - where the Francois Truffaut character does the peace sign and smiles and the alien leader does the same. Then Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is led into the mother ship and it takes off. The glorious theme music by John Williams swells and then, as the craft disappears the music segues into When You WIsh Upon A Star .. goosebumps just thinking about it, and it always makes me cry, sad old romantic that I am!

I don't think you can beat Lara's theme from Dr Zhivago

I loved the poignancy of the closing music to The Alamo, when the only survivors, a young mum and a couple of small children, walked out of the cellar where they`d hidden, and walked past the Mexican army, who saluted them.

There’s no end of marvellous film music out there, but two of my favourite closing film music themes are ‘You’re The One’, from Circle Of Friends, sung by Shane McGowan and Maire Brennan, and the gorgeous music from ‘Emma’, by Debbie Wiseman.
