One of my favorite parts of the trilogy of Lord of the Rings soundtracks, the theme of the Riders of Rohan is weaved into numerous moments in the score, but is first introduced with horns about halfway through this track. If you've seen the films, you will recognize the music from the first meeting of Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn with the Riders. The first part of the track is full of chaotic sounds which evoke the tense mood of the meeting, until things are set straight between the two parties.
It's amazing how a good soundtrack can enhance a movie; this is but one example.
PS - for another occurrence of this theme, this time primarily with strings, check out "The King Of The Golden Hall":
