Soundtracks and Scores : Movie Scores in Waltz Time

Movie Scores in Waltz Time

Hi all,
I'm doing some research on waltz time and I wanted to use movie scores as examples. I have of course the Godfather Waltz and I found "Neville's Waltz" from the Goblet of Fire Score. Does anybody know of any other pieces from movie scores that use that time?

Thank you!

The Boys from Brazil by Jerry Goldsmith

Gladiator by Hans Zimmer (the Germania battle and Roman gladiator arena scenes)

Darkness dancing with the Princess in the director's cut of Legend by Jerry Goldsmith

2001-A Space Odyssey (even though the music was already written by Strauss, Stanley Kubrick used it as "score" to accompany the rotating space station)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), the Volturi Waltz.

This is important music in the movie.

It becomes To Volterra when Bella and Alice realize what's happening and then have to race against time to save Edward. (Due to his false belief that Bella is dead, and consequently his plan to commit suicide by breaking the strictly-enforced protocols of the powerful Volturi vampires.)

Without the waltz, Bella and Alice racing across the countryside in a fast car would just be a generic "drive fast" scene; it would not convey the important sense of the machinery racing against social machinery.
