** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAOTSO9ioZk The Battle] - ten minutes of pure AWESOME.
* Similar is the epic finale to ''[[King Arthur]]'' (2004), a film that [[What Could Have Been|sadly didn't quite come off]] because of [[So Okay It's Average|the script]]... but Zimmer's score and Clive Owen makes you feel it at the end: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Rqyp-LDCo "All Of Them" (Marriage of Arthur and Guinevere)]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsRgOS1K--c "Budget Meeting"] qualifies. Face it - that sheerly epic instrumentation is the sole reason (aside from scrumptious donuts) that people would even bother to ''attend'' budget meetings in real life.
* For a film that is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], ''[[Muppet Treasure Island]]'' 's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RisL9l8HzmM Shiver My Timbers]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jZCAAzgSV4 Professional Pirate]" (sorry, couldn't find the original clip) are some great pirate songs. Then again, music composed by Hans Zimmer and sung by Tim Curry is automatically bound for awesome.
** The ''Muppet Treasure Island'' main theme is a great example of a rousing pirate score.
Line 49:
* ''[[Tears of the Sun]]'', particularly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3thngs2mbw "Cameroon Border Post"].
* From ''[[The Last Samurai]]'', "A Way of Life", "Red Warrior", and "A Small Measure of Peace"
* The first track from his score for ''[[Angels and Demons|Angels & Demons]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuzdgFCSE1c 160 BPM,] also known as the Illuminati theme, is something diabolically epic and yet again entirely different from Zimmer.
** There's also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNM3mFRsdcw The God Particle], especially at the beginning.
** "Election by Adoration", carried by violin virtuoso Joshua Bell's solo, and an awesome backing on the organ. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf3Rv9x5WX4 'ere we go.]
