I Am Legend. I recently watched I Am Legend and was struck with the sound design. It was amazing. Every sound was perfectly calculated to help the audience understand the meaning/message. During moments of amplified tension, instead of having scary music, the ambient sounds grew in volume and it made me feel like the Will Smith character was trying to be aware of everything around him.
I would use this in a teaching setting by playing the video without the audio and analyzing it. Then I would play the audio without the video and analyze it. Then, in playing them together the students would come to a greater understanding of sound design.
