The first one is from “Heaven Can Wait” which starred Warren Beatty, Julie Christie and Jack Warden. Warren Beatty was gorgeous in this movie and so was Julie Christie. I saw this movie when I was in my sophomore year of college.
My player wasn’t able to play the other five of the themes : (

The 4th one was the only one I recognized right away. A Bout de Souffle by Godard. I just found out the music was written by Martial Solal. Hauntingly beautiful.
I know I’ve seen the movie for the 1st one but can’t remember which one. It just feels like an American one from the 1980s (or early 90s); it’s so characteristic of that era. I started noticing how film scores have certain similarities in terms of the decade they were made in after watching so many on Netflix and Amazon recently. I’d know which decade a few moments into the opening score.
Of course, I don’t think anything can beat Bernard Herrmann’s score for Vertigo, my personal all-time favorite.

I couldn’t hear the 3rd, 4th and 6th ones BTW. Not sure if it’s just my browser or are you guys having the same glitch?

I meant the 5th, not the 4th. LOL, sorry.

I am not worthy. I could only identify the themes from Rushmore and The Untouchables…

Heaven can wait, alam ko yan kasi tinugtog namin yan sa hs marching band. The second one sounds familiar pero ginagamit din sya as mga pelikula ng regal. Third is Bolerish, Femme fatale. Yung huli, Wuthering heights in Ralph fi
