Basically, the exception which proves the rule.

I sincerely doubt most folks could name other titles which prominently feature organ as a focal instrument in a work. There's more, of course, but Interstellar tends to be people's first example.

* Warhammer 40k Mechanicus OST - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsX9WUdYnU&list=PLnSG0OA5vY...

* A bit on that on IXION one by same author https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhTXyUERugQ althought more on synth side

Also kinda many tracks by organ's tiny brother, hammond/tonehweel organs seen plenty of use for the obvious reason of being portable.

Quite a few according to this list: https://www.hirten.com/the-pipe-organ-on-film/

The Abominable Dr. Phibes is an absolute classic.

Theme from Rollerball [1]?

[1] Yes, I know it is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, but cptcobalt said "name" not "recognize", and while a vast majority have probably heard Toccata and Fugue in D Minor I'd guess most of them don't know that is its name. They will name it after somewhere they heard it used. Similar to Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra. Everyone has heard it but I bet most people would name it as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Well, if you like classical music ... there are some organ concertos. There's e.g. a modern-ish one by Poulenc (but melodic, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsFsBNAmCd0), and a romantic one by Saint-Saens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GrO47WJKTI), and there are baroque organ concertos by Handel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RNUsN0Kh3A&list=OLAK5uy_k1u...).

There's of course In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfpn3wHoNGA

Plenty of other stuff if you look for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVJt39mFUA&list=OLAK5uy_mTE...

Not to mention the tons and tons of secular Classical music, particular from the Baroque era like Händel's organ concertos.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida definitely doesn't have a pipe organ. It's a vox or farfisa.

Sounds pretty nice on a church organ though; in high school, I played in the orchestra for honors district graduation at the Crystal Cathedral[1], and the organist would play some riffs during rehearsal.

[1] Now renamed as the Christ Cathedral, I assume it's still amazingly hot and stuffy when the sun comes out, ugh, what a terrible venue. :P

Yup, it seems that was a Vox Continental: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Continental

Kali Malone’s “The Sacrificial Code” is my favorite musical find of the last year, and is entirely on pipe organ. Very mysterious and meditative.

For a midcentury, modal, classical bent, I love the music of Rayner Brown, who was a church organist in Pasadena. Recordings are rare but worth it to track down. There are a few good examples on YouTube; here’s one:

I think that's just because it is recent.

But there is plenty more.

Exception can only weaken the rule, although it might still statistically hold well enough to be called a rule.
