The Parent Trap 1998 Best -

Finally, we must discuss the music. The 1961 film had a cheerful, forgettable score. The 1998 film has Alan Silvestri’s masterpiece . Silvestri, fresh off Forrest Gump , composed a theme that is equal parts adventure and melancholy. The main title—a sweeping, strings-and-piano motif—captures the loneliness of the twins before they find each other. When that theme swells during the final reconciliation on the cruise ship, it’s not manipulation; it’s catharsis.
