"Scarborough Fair" and the main theme from "Schindler’s List" both use the Aeolian mode. Skyrim's "Far Horizons" uses the Aeolian mode to create a vast, open, and slightly melancholic atmosphere. The famous main theme from "The Godfather" and Assassin's Creed II "Ezio's Family" utilize Aeolian.

Dorian: Experience the haunting beauty and mysterious allure of a minor scale with a raised 6th, giving it a unique blend of minor sadness with a touch of brightness.The Dorian mode is prevalent in Celtic and folk music, often used to create an ancient or haunting atmosphere.

Mixolydian: This mode is similar to the major scale but with a lowered seventh, giving it a bluesy, jazzy feel that’s both uplifting and slightly edgy.
