On John Barry's symphonic arrangement of Midnight Cowboy (both the Concert JB and Moviola versions) he adds a rather regal counterpart to the main melody about midway through. I've always loved it.

I’m not sure if it really counts as counterpoint (I’m not especially learned in musical composition), but as far as overlapping themes, the climactic “Caesar Now Be Still” from Rózsa’s Julius Caesar is especially impressive with the melding of the Caesar/Antony theme and Brutus’ theme.

For traditional contrapuntal writing, Alex North wrote a lot of sophisticated music. The Spartacus main theme has a fugal passage which is quite exquisite. Dragon slayer also has non diatonic fugal material too.
The Shark Cage fugue and Tourists on the Menu from Jaws are also terrific.
Bill Conti’s Rocky has some wonderful contrapuntal sections too.
Mancini’s Lifeforce main theme
Newman’s Shawshank and Little Women from 1984

Hi Ron
Anastasia is a perfect example, thanks, Newman gives a foretase of things to come, and both themes reperents the conflicts,
one of my all time scores, and a very good exmaple ist Jerry Goldsmith's "Night Crossing", Final Flight has this all, and as far as i remember, Patch of Blue has some great counterpoint passages too, have to a revisit this soon.
