The Last of the Mohicans
Michael Mann's 1992 frontier epic: Daniel Day-Lewis sprinting through the forest, the waterfall vow — "I will find you" — and the theme everyone knows without knowing its name. Two composers, a Scottish folk tune turned orchestral juggernaut, and the only Oscar a film directed by Michael Mann has ever won.
