Line 80:
* In ''[[The Ark of Truth]]'', Teal'c is lying in the mud, having finally succumbed to grievous wounds from a previous battle. After being healed by an Ancient, he gets to his feet again.
* 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]].

Line 203:
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RScZrvTebeA Blade Runner Blues], which summates the atmosphere of 2019 Los Angeles perfectly.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U56NMn7SAv4 One More Kiss, Dear], lyrically lovely, sounding just like a crooner's hit from the 1940's, but written especially for the film by Vangelis.
* Also by Vangelis: [[Standard Snippet|the title theme to]] ''[[Chariots of Fire]]'', paired with the scene of the track stars running down the beach in slow motion, is such a Crowning Moment of Awesome that [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"|it's the only thing most people remember about the movie]].
** ''Conquest of Paradise''. The movie was forgettable, but the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtmlAaybIEs opening score] is not.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6-0Cz73wwQ&feature=fvst The opening to ''Olympia'' set to the music from ''Alexander''.]
Line 337:
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJdaWzoRYw Inama Nushif]"
** Speaking of Brian Tyler, another one of his beautiful works is the entirely '''self-performed''' (he not only wrote the music but did all the instrumental work on his own in the DVD footage) score from [[Bubba Hotep]].
* ''Public Enemies'' slots nicely into [[So Okay ItsIt's Average]], but Otis Taylor's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhiO8rT_LnA music] on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwISBR3tMtk soundtrack] is grade A ''awesome''.
* ''[[Sister Act]]'' has two holy songs that will make you think that you are in heaven:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2osa8o8L-E Hail Holy Queen & Oh Maria]
Line 402:
* Nemesis' theme frome Resident Evil: Apocalypse, especially "Nemesis Awakes"
* The theme from the teasers for the still-in-production movie [http://www.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.]]
** "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" as Withnail "makes time" on the highway into London.
Line 545:
** And from the same film, Basil and Zoe Poledouris's "Dying To Meet You". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyuaHpPtbAw\]
* Nick Glennie-Smith's score to [[We Were Soldiers]]. It is an incredible soundtrack that really fits the story. But the part that sticks out the most is the piece that plays during the end credits. It is entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtXNh9oxbSY Mansions of the Lord], and it is so unbelievably beautiful.
* The Eurythmics [[Concept Album]] / Soundtrack to [[Nineteen Eighty -Four]]. The whole album oozes despair and paranoia - completely fitting to the subject matter. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyHm6bU0Vzg "Doubleplusgood"] is as high-energy and paranoid as a cocaine binge. "Room 101" is [[Nightmare Fuel]] in soundtrack form. Samples from all the tracks [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhqAH_k8QWY here].
* In ''[[Goodbye Lenin (Film)|Goodbye Lenin]]'', the national anthem of former East Germany is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59vv2xFPVtY used] awesomely in a rousing (if fake) news broadcast.
* "Let the River Run" by Carly Simon from the ''[[Working Girl]]'' soundtrack. Powerful, uplifting, and the musical embodiment of the American Dream.
Line 559:
** Ladies and gentlemen, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVC7Zvo_NyQ Captain America March.] It's an Alan spectacular (Menken with the song, and Silvestri with the score)!
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGiwfBrDUyA&feature=related This song], which plays during the scene when Cap returns from his one-man rescue of the 400 Allied soldiers is just so awesome.
* Patrick Doyle's [[Thor]] really needs to be here. This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0fkpdg1ml0 ending sequence] is breathtaking, combining beautiful cosmic imagery with epic music. Incidentally this music was also used during his {{spoiler|[[Theme Music Power -Up]]}}.
* On the subject of Patrick Doyle, his score for [[Rise of the Planet of The Apes]] ought to be included here. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wjw94XUf94 Check it.]
* More Doyle! You would expect it from a kid movie called '' a Little Princess'' but there are some breathtaking pieces, particularly ''The Trenches", " Captain Crewe and the Solider'', ''The escape'' and " Papa'' ( the last of which is also part [[Tear Jerker]] turned [[Heartwarming Moment]]
