songs that resemble each other

Song Remains The Same?
Well...
A viewing of Oliver Stone's comments about 'The doors' has jarred it loose.
"It" is as follows.
in 'Savages,' we hear the opening of Brahms' symphony 1 in C minor, op. 68.
In the desert.
As Salma Hayek is getting shot at.
Note the similarities between
a) Brahms' First
b) 'Flight into Space' from John Barry's 'moonraker.'
c) Maurice Jarre's 'Lawrence of Arabia' score.
I know, I know.
In 'The spY Who Loved Me,' 2 years before 'Moonraker,' Marvin Hamlisch does a 'Lawrence of Arabia' riff.
So what's the big deal, right?
NOt sure.
Anyway, that music belongs in the desert.
Marvin Hamlisch knew it.
Maurice Jarre knew it.
John Barry knew it.
BRAHMS knew it.
Oliver Stone STILL knows it.
What do YOU know?
