These are a few of them: Inception How To Train Your Dragon Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Warcraft Valkyria Chronicles And there's a bunch more that I like that I won't bother trying to find links for that I have on my iPod including: Lord of the Rings, Pirates, SMRPG, FFVII: AC, Wind Waker, and Fire Emblem. | ||||||||||||

Nothing is better than the opening theme to Parks & Recreation is LITERALLY... one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. Jon Brion's theme for the film I Heart Huckabees, "Monday," is similarly spectacular, as is damn near everything Jon Brion does. My overall favorite score is probably Ennio Morricone's score for Once Upon a Time in the West. It is awesom. But I could dedicate an entire thread to Morricone's scores. Greatest of all time, bar none. In terms of a single composition, "L'arena" is my favorite, despite the fact that the movie it comes from, Il Mercenario, isn't that spectacular. Can't find it on youtube, but the composition "The Last Waltz" is breathtakingly beautiful. This Korean kid does a pretty good rendition of it, but it has nothing on the fully orchestrated version. I guess you could also check out one of the scenes that uses it. Approx. 57 seconds into the video it starts. The theme from A Tale of Two Sisters is one of the most beautifully heartbreaking pieces of music I've ever heard. Also, you've got to love "Ramona" from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And, of course, in all of its cheap 90's synthesizer glory, "A Lonely Shadow" from Ashes of Time. The soundtrack to All About Lily Chou-Chou is also spectacular. The titular Lily Chou-Chou is a "fake" pop star they made that the teenagers in the film obsess over. It's actually Japanese singer Salyu and composer Takeshi Kobayashi. The music is awesome nonetheless. Love Exposure is probably the best movie of the past ten years, and its main theme song is also spectacular. Watch Love Exposure. Now. It's available on both Region 1 and 2 DVD, which covers most of the English speaking world, so you have no excuse not to. Don't watch the English subbed trailer before watching the movie, though, because it ruins the most hilarious plot point in the history of hilarious plot points. "A Man Must Be Strong". Any Wong Fei Hung movie. Most famously the Once Upon a Time in China series. If this doesn't make you feel like you can take down an entire army, you fail at life. Also, the theme to The Twins Effect has both the Twins and Jackie Chan singing on the same song. It's like if the Buddha did a song with Jesus and Muhammad. Can't be ****ed with.

It had it all cool people cars and music i somehow recognised but i didn't realise that you could swing music that way it allso made me go on a musical trip spanning from the 1920 to modern times. This one i saw earlyer but i came back to it after and i felt that i apriciated the music more after i had listened to the earlyer stuff and so on.
It gave a wind of the old fifties i really liked and it have a soft place in my heart. But now on to a earlier period in my life. It's 1995 and my sister is working at a gas station I incidental only sit 150 meters from and have borrowed a Snes for me and my little brother Awesome we thought as we had played it at some friends house but i wasn't preprepared for the musical smash to the face experience i was to receive from that one game. This was what reached my ears when we turned it on
And along with the visuals first telling us HAHA this game sucks to OMG THIS IS FREAKING ROCKING and it got better with in the first course. The opening basline is the one i want to be able to wake up in the middle of the night as someone is screaming at me to make that damn basline and im not far of to do it I admit. A year later Nr 2 came out and we managed to get that game to the second world in about 2 hours and that was when i heard this Sure this game have allso some great music but this is just sweetnes to me earholes. Nr 3 came some time later and it opened up with some epic little fanfare but then this, the best ever remix of a intro ever
Many year later i go through the 64 and the biggest impact there was all Rare and i say just listen to the music and you got me quite good there especially their racing game. Many years passed and I got aflicted by the movies stated above but one day a good friend showed me something he couldn't really prounounce and we played it and i thouhgt it was good i really liked the heavy drums on this one and this one just in regular Then suddenly we got our hands on a drum and a dragon popped up Soo yeah... anyhow i found some neat games here and there then i managed to stumble over this game and i will only give 2 songs from this one and a link to a OCremix album based on it. I played this game like a beast in the beginning and two songs have stuck with me from playing it this one: wich makes me think that i can wrestle polarbears with both my hands on my back. And this one much more calmer and collected but i still freaking love it: This is some nuggets i have picked up along the years there are many more out there but i consider these major in my musical evolution. __________________ From where it counts: Lapland Last edited by Jere; 05-16-2012 at 06:16 PM.
