Associated Composer: The composer of choice of Robert Zemeckis. He's composed for three out of the four Avengers films (Avengers: Age of Ultron was handled by Brian Tyler and Danny Elfman, meanwhile).

Credits Medley
 Alan Silvestri (Music) / int_8f50849
comment
Credits Medley: The Back to the Future sequels utilize this. As an example, Part III features a suite with the film's Western theme, the love theme, and the train theme sandwiched by the main theme of the series. The theatrical release of The Abyss was the first James Cameron film (but not the last) to feature double-column/speeded-up end credits on account of all the people involved, so Silvestri's end credit suite features "Finale," a lot of "Bud On The Ledge" and the ending of "Back On The Air" (the music for Bud and the aliens heading to the surface) without the choir. When it was released on video, it had a slower and one-column only roll which therefore lasted much longer, and had a much longer suite to match made up of "Finale," "The Pseudopod," "Resurrection," a reprise of the first part of "Finale" (for the spire rising scene), and the excerpts from "Bud On The Ledge" and "Back On The Air."

Recycled Trailer Music: Silvestri's theme from MouseHunt was used in the live action The Cat in the Hat film trailer and for the A Christmas Carol (2009) trailer, as well as many others. And then it was actually reused (in the film itself) in Fred Claus.

Screen-to-Stage Adaptation: A musical based on Back to the Future was in development with Silvestri writing songs and Robert Zemeckis producing, but quietly fell into Development Hell until 2020.

Leitmotif
 Alan Silvestri (Music) / int_9f6fb586
comment
Leitmotif: Forrest Gump has a theme for running. Marvel Cinematic Universe examples: In Captain America: The First Avenger, Silvestri's score contained a leitmotif not only for Cap and Hydra but also for the Tesseract, which can be heard when Red Skull is preparing to leave the Evil Lair to bomb the world. In The Avengers, Silvestri's leitmotif for the now-lost Tesseract forms the first few notes of the score during the opening monologue. Three leitmotifs introduced in this score include that of The Avengers, which backs most of the main score, one for Black Widow, and one for the Helicarrier. Back to the Future examples: The theme plays whenever something epic is happening. "Mr. Sandman" appears to be the theme song of 1955 Hill Valley or something. It's played when Marty first enters the 1955 town square in both Part I and Part II, something which inspired us to name a trope after it. Who Framed Roger Rabbit has themes for Roger, Jessica, Eddie Valiant, Judge Doom, and the Toon Patrol.

Deathly Dies Irae
 Alan Silvestri (Music) / int_b39def3c
comment
Deathly Dies Irae: In Avengers: Infinity War, as Thor is explaining to the Guardians of the Galaxy how many Stones Thanos has and where he needs to go for the rest of them. As he mentions the Soul Stone, dies irae plays as the camera cuts to Gamora, foreshadowing her death, sacrificed by Thanos to gain the Stone. In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the four notes are played several times in succession, each time by a different instrument, as Judge Doom reinflates his newly exposed toon form, just before he then reveals his identity as the killer of Eddie’s brother and tries to murder Eddie too.

comment
One-Woman Wail: Blown Away opens with "Prince's Day", a wail-like reprise of the Irish song "Though Dark Are Our Sorrow" rearranged by Silvestri and sung by a soprano boy (instead of a woman) with an Ethereal Choir in the background. Thomas Moore originally wrote the lyrics.

Theme Music Withholding
 Alan Silvestri (Music) / int_d89ea2fc
comment
Theme Music Withholding: Despite including nearly all the Avengers and having its plot centered around the Avengers as a team splintering, the music in Captain America: Civil War doesn't contain the Avengers theme, and Avengers: Age of Ultron has it rejigged, but not included in its original arrangement until the end credits. It wasn't until Avengers: Infinity War that it was heard in its full glory during the actual film.
