* the live-action remake of ''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'', for an okay film, has a surprisingly beautiful and awesome use of One Republic's "Secrets". It's made even more awesome by the fact that there's synchronized Tesla coils shooting out bolts of electricity in tandem with the beat of the song.
* ''Beelzeboss'': Kage and Jables fight the Devil, [[The Power of Rock|with rock]]. Hilarious for its frequent and creative use of [[Cluster F-Bomb|the f-word]].
{{quote| ''You hold the scepter''<br />
''We hold the key''<br />
''You are the Devil''<br />
'''''We are The D!''''' }}
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80DtQD5BQ_A Master Exploder] from the same movie. So epically awesome it will ''blow your mind''. Extra fun trying to play it in Rock Band 2 and realizing just how hard it is.
Line 112 ⟶ 109:
* The [[Terminator]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQTzJgU6qc Theme].
** Take your pick between the T2 version above, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNjeYcmP1S4 fully orchestrated version] from the T3 soundtrack, or the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKF-tOtK6nw original 80s electronic version].
*** And T2 uses [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djj7jW6ny2M two of] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X350yr1x1Q the most] badass songs ever - one even [[Badused to the[[Standard Pre-Ass-Kicking BoneSnippet|namesname a trope]].
*** T2 also has one of the [[Tear Jerker|most painful]] uses of the main theme when T-800 is being lowered into the molten metal.
** Brad Feidel's work in [[Johnny Mnemonic]].
** The revamped [[Terminator]] theme used in Terminator Salvation. [[Ear Worm|Dundun dun dundun. Dundun dun dundun. Dundun dun DUNDUN. DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN!]]
* ''[[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]''. Earth just exploded. Pan up into the nothingness of space. The Guide sweeps across the screen. "'''''"Journey of the Sorcerer"''''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA6qlMU4bMI starts playing].
** The opening music of the movie (So Long and Thanks for All the Fish) was already an ear catcher, but it was made infinitely more awesome when Neil Hannon reprises it in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXek9_IGWZA credits].
* From [[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]], the piece "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9PhfUsFvj0 Driving With The Top Down]", which plays during Stark's first flight.
Line 168 ⟶ 165:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbX7i1L2Uss Dana's Theme], composed by Elmer Bernstein, added a sense of class and yet otherworldness to the main female protagonist of the picture.
* What was that other famous movie that opened the same weekend as ''[[Ghostbusters]]? [[Gremlins]]!'' And that gave us the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGAHZdI7Wos "Gremlin Rag"].
* [[Neil Young]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi-S9lrnLZ8 Opening Credits "Freight Train" Theme] for ''[[DeadmanDead Man (film)|Dead Man]]'' by Jim Jarmusch (w/ Johnny Depp).
* Rodrigo's ''Concierto De Aranjuez'', originally written for classical guitar, is brilliant of itself - but when rearranged for flugelhorn and full silver band in ''[[Brassed Off]]'' and set against the failing negotiations to save the mine, becomes something even more transcendent.
** Also the famous ''William Tell Overture'' in the finale.
Line 212 ⟶ 209:
** And the most excellent use of 'Where is My Mind' by the Pixies.
* ''[[The Warriors (film)|The Warriors]]'' opening theme.
* The ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' theme by Lalo Schifrin was awesome enough as it was. Add Danny Elfman's slight reworking (and score) for the 1996 movie AND the remix by U2...it's damn near the most iconic theme in the world.
** The Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit version for the second movie is pretty awesome.
** Say what you will about the third installment, but a permanent point in its favor is that it has the Mission Impossible theme redone by Michael freaking' Giacchino. The fourth. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lji6KZp0Y5A Light the Fuse]" is just perfect.
** Lalo Schifrin also composed the insanely cool [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLn77Bk6ccE title theme] for the ''[[Rush Hour]]'' series. He wins.
Line 229 ⟶ 226:
** Also Crowning Music of [[Nightmare Fuel]].
*** In many ways Carpenter's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNSLaYJboPE theme] to ''[[The Fog]]'' is even better. But Carpenter's best is probably the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTxBc_-XxmI main theme] to ''[[Escape from New York]]''.
* Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" blasting across the launch base as Zefram Cochrane goes to make Earth's first contact with aliens possible in ''[[Star Trek: First Contact|Star Trek First Contact]]''. Screw ''Easy Rider'', THAT is the greatest use of the band's music ever.
* The [[Rocky (film)|Rocky]] series gave us "Gonna Fly Now" one wonderful anthem and also "Eye Of The Tiger" and "There's No Easy Way Out".
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4EW7ln3tkk Tarawa] from Snow Falling On Cedars. Just... wow.
Line 244 ⟶ 241:
* ''[[The Fifth Element]]'' with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQEDhQnxZxI Lucia di Lammermoor/The Diva Dance].
** While the original performance by Inva Mula has contradictory sources as to whether it was digitally manipulated (it appears to be); but the semi-professional singer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgo0CDL6bd0 Laura Workman] was able to do the piece for real.
** Also, the bit that plays as Leeloo escapes containment and gives us our first look at Future!New York. Absolutely mesmerizing.
* From ''[[Sunshine (film)|Sunshine]]'', "Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)" is likely to get more exposure on trailers than it did in the movie, but it was a perfect accompaniment to the scene, and made it the emotional climax that it was meant to be.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUhT0htcn-o Mercury] is strange, short, and incredibly beautiful and relaxing.
Line 265 ⟶ 262:
* The climactic music from ''[[Forbidden Planet]]'', a piece called "The Monster Pursues - Morbius Is Overcome".
* [[Casablanca]]: "Play 'La Marseillaise.' ''Play it.''"
** Prefigured five years earlier by the rousing performance of 'La Marseillaise' in ''[[The Grand Illusion]]''. Here the Germans celebrate the taking of Fort Douaumont during the Battle of Verdun, ringing the church bells and singing 'The Watch on the Rhine' (sung by Major Strasser and his henchmen in [[Casablanca]], even though this song was no longer the 'hit' it had been during the Franco-German War of 1870/71 and, to a lesser extent, [[World War OneI]]), but the Allied officers in the POW camp decide to put on their variety show anyhow. Then that show is interrupted by the news that the French have retaken Douaumont, and the performers just on stage - a group of British officers in drag - lead the audience in 'La Marseillaise' to the fury of the camp commandant and his officers, who are sitting in the front row. (Marcel Dalio, one of the stars of ''[[The Grand Illusion]]'', had a bit part in [[Casablanca]] as one of Rick's employees).
* Some highlights from ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'' include ''Zydrate Anatomy, Chromaggia, Seventeen,'' and ''We Started This Op'ra Shit''.
** ''Chromaggia'' also counts as an in-universe example. Particularly the line {{spoiler|"I would rather be blind"}}.
Line 278 ⟶ 275:
* [[Clint Mansell]], people. Really.
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl5McGN2L-E Lux Aeterna]'', made for [[Requiem for a Dream]], was subsequently recut for the trailers to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9tnZRs4tNE The Two Towers] and [[Sunshine (film)|Sunshine]], as well as adapted for electric guitar to be used in ''Smokin' Aces''. This is because it is ''awesome''.
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOZuQ_r3ROY Death is the Road to Awe]'', from the soundtrack of [[The Fountain]], is at least equally amazing. Builds up till about 7:41 and then - well, it's the score to an ''[[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?|exploding sun]]''. It's [[Captain Obvious|epic.]]
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MlWBawjT9c "Xibalba" / "Tree of Life"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZDpqDpIsfs "Stay With Me"] are pretty epic too.
** The reception to [[Smokin Aces]] might have been... mixed, to say the very least. However, no one can deny the ''awesome'' that is Mansell's score, most particularly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa33P9A5iHs Dead Reckoning].
Line 284 ⟶ 281:
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PD1NQtHE_M theme to StarGate] is so awesome that trailers can't help but [[Recycled Trailer Music|use it to make ''their'' movies look awesome]].
* The use of Brian Eno's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rkH2Rz9c_8 "Ending (An Ascent)"] (starts at 1:18) at the end of [[Traffic]] was pretty inspired, especially considering the final scene is of Javier {{spoiler|finally getting to watch kids play baseball at night}}.
* The live action adaptation of [[Twentieth20th Century Boys]] already has one in the first film, with the classical Golden Age superhero inspired theme for Kenji and the rest of the gang joining together again. When we finally get to hear the whole thing as they prepare for the climactic battle against Friend's giant robot, it makes what was already an incredibly emotional scene in the manga even more of a [[Tear Jerker]], [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] all rolled into one. Starts at 2:30 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWhE3buLIvQ here].
* The resurrection scene in ''Casshern'' is elevated to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXyPqkPMnjg ridiculous levels of epic] thanks to Sagisu Shiro. And then the choir kicks in at 4:22, and it's elevated [[Up to Eleven|even higher.]]
** The song "Requiem" from the Back Horn was quite epic as well, if not for the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emYqURahUKI awesome ass kicking] that goes along with it. When Casshern gets pissed, EVERYTHING pays.
Line 301 ⟶ 298:
*** Philip Glass scoring John Osterman's transformation into Dr. Manhattan; "Sounds of Silence" for The Comedian's funeral; "Ride of the Valkyries" for Dr. Manhattan & The Comedian annihilating the VC...
** From the Director's Cut, the Death of Hollis Mason... Set to the themesong of Raging Bull. It's awesome. Clip viewable [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVeg78Yfp7g here]. Fun starts at around 2:10.
** "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears in the background of Veidt's meeting with the [[CE Os]]CEOs.
** Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" in the movie is quite inspired.
** [[My Chemical Romance|My Chemical Romance's]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOuSxal8pf4 cover of Desolation Row]
Line 321 ⟶ 318:
* The title theme of the film ''[[Blue Thunder]]'' is a classic, unforgettable riff that shows up whenever the titular helicopter appears.
* The soundtrack of ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'' is filled with tracks that are going to leave you thinking "How did the composer create that?" and it is as beautiful as it is haunting. Especially the intro track, "Dreaming", which seems to hit just the right notes and must have been complicated to compose. It also has some of the best usages of human voice in he soundtrack of any film, ''ever''.
* [[The Passion of Joan of Arc]]. Yes it's a silent movie, but Richard Einhorn released a definitive score, "Voices of Light" in 1994. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR3Ah9joyEI Have a listen] to a bit, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120510042008/http://www.richardeinhorn.com/VOL/vol.libretto.pdf read the libretto].
* Thomas Newman. He scored ''Shawshank Redemption,'' for goodness' sake!
** In the same movie, you KNOW you choked up when that aria from "The Marriage of Figaro" swelled on the loudspeakers and all over the prison.
Line 329 ⟶ 326:
*** The end theme "Take my Hand", was pretty sweet, too.
* Brian Tyler's soundtrack for SciFi's ''[[Dune|Children Of Dune]]'' is sheer, unmitigated awesome from start to finish, but here are some of the highlights.
** "[http://www.antifmp3.net/Lyrics/6851188/Brian_Tyler/Children_Of_Dune_Ost/The_Arrival_Of_Lady_Jessica/download-mp3/ The Arrival Of Lady Jessica]{{Dead link}}" (click "Prelisten Track")
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_JumibKcp8 Theme for House Atreides]"
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNY0D4z5FJ4 The Jihad]"
Line 354 ⟶ 351:
** If you thought the score for the first film was good, you'll agree that Alexandre Desplat outdid himself for the music in Part 2. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cbeb9sdjS4 "The Tunnel"], music to match the fast-paced ride through Gringotts, and ''especially'' "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_efSI5_UCxo Statues]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDGC2mgW65c Courtyard Apocalypse]", similar heartbreaking songs used during the Battle of Hogwarts.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI_9kZ2qZNE Lily's Theme]. Silent, and still epic. Portraits perfectly the beginning of the very end of the series. It screams "It's almost over now...".
** Outside of scores, though, The Weird Sisters's music is great, and then what may be the [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] of all Crowning Music of Awesome in the Harry Potter films; [[Nick Cave|Nick Cave & the Bad Seed's]] "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xy8hxUkdRg O Children]". Amazing song, amazing scene.
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8eA9BuuyjY&feature=channel_page theme] from [[Fargo]].
* Ladies and gentlemen, Masaru Satō, composer of some of [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s greatest films, including ''[[The Hidden Fortress]]'' (a major influence on [[Star Wars|a little film you may have heard of]]), ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgswymaBuDk Yojimbo]'' (a version of the protagonist's Swaggering Brass Theme of Awesome starts at the 2:00 mark) and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5wNT08Ur1k&feature=related Sanjuro]''.
Line 399 ⟶ 396:
* The song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jehCpeVB50g Axel F]" from [[Beverly Hills Cop]] is incredibly catchy. Even though it is two decades old, it was featured on an episode of [[Family Guy]] and also used in a scene in [[Monsters vs. Aliens]]. According to [[The Other Wiki]], it topped musical charts in 1985, and remixes of it topped European musical charts in 2003!
* Nemesis' theme frome Resident Evil: Apocalypse, especially "Nemesis Awakes"
* The theme from the teasers for the still-in-production movie [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20120505160456/http://ironsky.net/ Iron Sky], a comedy about Nazi spacemen.
* ''[[Shoot'Em Up]]'' takes very little time to bust out the guns and high octane action sequences. Breed (by Nirvana) kicks in and sets the tone for the movie: '''SUPER AWESOME'''.
* [[Withnail and I|Withnail's Theme.]]
Line 410 ⟶ 407:
* The Jam's "A Town Called Malice" in ''[[Billy Elliot]]'', when Billy just explodes from his [[Small Town Boredom]] and goes dancing thorugh the streets.
* Brandon Lee's transformation scene in ''[[The Crow]]''--set off to The Cure's "Burn." Oh, ''yes....''
* Don't Stop Me Now in ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]''.
* ''[[Persepolis]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlIAmCfHzbg Eye of the Tiger]. [[Training Montage|Uh-uh-UH]].
* From Alien vs Predator: Requiem, we have the songs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEhZN0BtbLk Decimation Proclamation], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoxxsllQCqQ Requiem Overture], and the end credits, which combine both.
Line 419 ⟶ 416:
** This nearly didn't happen - the producers had planned to completely throw out Sir William's score in favour of a Ron Goodwin replacement. The film's star (and friend of the composer) Laurence Olivier was furious when he found out, and he threatened to take his name off the film if some of Walton's music wasn't retained. (The soundtrack CD features both composers.)
** On the subject of Ron Goodwin, the composer for ''[[Battle of Britain]]'', the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XKGhG0W0LQ theme] from ''[[Where Eagles Dare]]''.
** Goodwin also wrote the music for the four Miss Marple movies starring Margaret Rutherford and the rolicking theme for ''[[Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines]]''.
** His epic 633 Squadron [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAG11eworFU theme]
* The Famous Dambusters March, which has arguably become more famous than the movie it is from. It's even more awesome because (according to the composer's son), the piece was not actually written for the film, but as a stand-alone, Elgarian style march, as the march's composer Eric Coates disliked writing film music.
Line 456 ⟶ 453:
* From ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How To Train Your Dragon,]]'' both the song and the scene are pure heartwarming awesome: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CJ96LGGP6w "Forbidden Friendship"] by John Powell. It's just a magnificent piece of music which sets up the whole film. This scene is the heart of the film, and the music ''makes'' it.
** Some of the flying moments with Toothless also count, see ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RenuLcCa0DI New Tail]'' starting around 1:58 and ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv6o4CpK9WY Test Drive]''
** Then during the credits, we all get a treat from [[Sigur RosRós|Jónsi]] in the form of ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOH8rPpCI50 Sticks and Stones]''
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5KOERF_akc Coming Back Around]''. Once the little 'romantic' part's over, that's when it really starts, with a score similar to ''Test Drive''. ''Escpecially'' the short Celtic part after that.
** ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b9POjIgEH8&NR=1 The Downed Dragon]'' is incredibly creepy for a kids movie. It sounds gentle and mysterious at the beginning, but suddenly that is replaced with loud drums and drawn-out strings, and from there it only gets more unnerving.
Line 507 ⟶ 504:
** "The Rainbow Connection" from ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', especially the [[Triumphant Reprise]] when they actually find it.
** "Hey! A Movie!" from ''[[The Great Muppet Caper]]'' is [[Fourth Wall]]-smashing fun that celebrates what the movies are all about:
{{quote| There'll be mystery<br />
And catastrophe<br />
But it's all in fun<br />
You paid the money<br />
Wait and see! }}
** "Together Again" from ''The Muppets Take Manhattan''.
Line 538 ⟶ 535:
* For some strange reason the soundtrack of the Ewan Mc Gregor movie "The Serpent's kiss" never was released. It's a shame, since it featured rare gems like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPDBpQGnjuE this one.]
* For people who like [[Folk Music|Folk]], [[Bluegrass]], and [[wikipedia:Old-time music|old-time]] [[Country Music|country]], ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' is 107 minutes of awesome.
* [[UHF (film)|Don't change your channel!]] [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Don't touch that dial!]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQGIa8xOmjg We got it all] [[Ear Worm|on UH! F!]]
* The entire soundtrack for [[Once]], but especially "Falling Slowly". Also, "Lies."
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cObUe6OAW9A opening theme] to ''[[Cecil B. Demented]]'', by [[Moby]]. Awesomely distorted.
Line 563 ⟶ 560:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDPn4d651zM Sweet Dreams] running through the opening sequence of [[Sucker Punch]]. Both haunting and simply breathtaking.
** Sung by Lead Actress [[Emily Browning]] herself no less.
* The soundtrack for [[Rock N RollaRocknRolla]] is crowning music of awesome.
* Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes "Time Of My Life" fronm [[Dirty Dancing]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-Y9iWZurI Wong Chia Chi's Theme] by Alexandre Desplat in Ang Lee's [[Lust, Caution]] It's such a sublime and beautiful score, you won't be able to not want to cry.
* ''[[The Big Lebowski]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAHdDM3Dv8s YEAH! YEAH! OH YEAH!]
* The trance soundtrack in ''[[Alien Cargo]]'', composed by Patrick O’Hearn.
* ''[[Ghost Rider]]''. The cover of the song "Ghost Riders in the Sky" by the band Spiderbait in the ending credits (and also an instrumental of the same song while the two ride) is simply ''awesome''.
* The ''[[Joshuu Sasori]]'' series has two haunting, highly emotionally charged, slightly surreal and all-round [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwyKliodLZY incredible] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kMe1iK7cDo songs] across the four first films. The fourth film is named after the more famous one. Both are beautifully sung by Meiko Kaji, the main actress, who is also a respected enka singer in her own right, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeWsnH2a4XA is known for] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uICNm-KJ_GY doing songs] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZOuVky-lPM for her films].
* Trevor Jones's score for ''[[Cliffhanger]]'' is ''made'' of awesome, particularly the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMAs60rL8dM seven-minute plus end credits].
* Tan Dun has done some very impressive work. Prime examples: the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSkoyVjULXY Overture to ''Hero''] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oSWwoarIIQ 'For the World']. See also the quiet heartbreak of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i0-btqkYNY 'Gone with Leaves'], and feel the Wuxia badassitude of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQMe0AYSBZI two assassins storming the King of Qin's palace.] By themselves.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY-EBMkr72U "What Are We Made Of"] from ''The Adventures Of Pinocchio'', composed by the one and only [[Queen|Brian May]].
* Bluto's [[Villain Song]], "I'm Mean", from the live-action Popeye movie.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd8iVPm-ROU "Darkest Side Of The Night"] from ''[[Friday the 13th|Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan]].''
* [[Monty Python]]'s music tends towards the silly rather than the awesome, but there is no denying that "Brian" ([[Captain Obvious|from]] ''[[Life of Brian]]'') has a suitably epic and awesome feel even if the lyrics are things like "And he started to shave / [[A Date with Rosie Palms|And have one off the wrist]] / and want to see girls / And go out and get piiiiiiiiissssed!" Gilliam's animation doesn't hurt the sequence any.
* The soundtrack to ''[[The Hunger Games (film)|The Hunger Games]]''. Chilling, majestic, triumphant, everything it needed to be and more. It was perfect.
* Many [[Wuxia]] movies and tv series uses music that can stir you up inside, even if you have no idea what they're saying. Examples:
Line 584 ⟶ 581:
* Christopher Young's entire score for the original [[Hellraiser]] is dark, foreboding, mysterious, and imposing. Awards must be given for his "Resurrection" track, which played during Frank's fleshy resurrection as a skinless monstrosity back into the earth from the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GpveZRy2Cw&feature=relmfu world of the cenobites].
