I'm aware of how ubiquitous it is in the industry. I just think it's so for arbitrary reasons. Rock, jazz, folk, electronica, and really any other genre can be used just as successfully as classical. I quite love classical music, it's just not the be all end all of soundtracks.
You really think jazz emits emotion well? I'm not a fan of it, but I always felt it didn't do to well with emotion.

You probably just don't know enough of it. Technically, jazz is 100% emotion. The song Strange Fruit is probably one of the more classic examples as it's so moving.

Depends what kind of Jazz you are listening to like Free Form, or Cool Jazz etc. etc. daddy-o.
Autumn Leaves was 50s movie starring Joan Crawford. It was original called "The Way We Are" but the movie had a name change to ride on the coat tails of songs success and popularity. The movie uses Nat King Cole's version. I thought Stan Getz did a very emotional rendition on saxamaphone.
