Hans Zimmer's "Time" from the movie "Inception" and also John Murphy's "Adagio in D minor" for the movie "Sunshine" are very popular pieces because of their spiritual import. Zimmer's piece is really very simple showing how often simplicity trumps over complexity in music. Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" has been called the greatest science fiction ever because of it's deep spiritual import. It is definitely one of my favorite films.
