Favorite Song / Piece of music from a film?

[Wislong]

Help distract me from what I'm supposed to be doing =]

For me it's either "Circle of Life" - Lion King
or Anything from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

EDIT: Oh, and "Pretty Woman" - From the New Sweeney Todd

 

[TheBlueRabbit]

I'll have to second the Nightmare Before Christmas. Nothing makes me smile like a rousing chorus of Kidnap the Sandy Claws.

 

[Wislong]

Couldn't agree more =P

I reckon it has one of the best opening Songs, ever.

 

[mattttherman3]

Superman theme

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

The Theme form The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.


Ennio Morricone is a musical genius.

 

[Fightgarr]

The ending/main theme of Princess Mononoke.
Great orchestral beauty right there.

 

[Adam Jenson]

Any other name by Thomas Newman in American Beauty. Thats actually our (my girlfriend and I) song.

 

[bkd69]

All excellent choices above, but at this moment, let's say "Nowhere Fast" from Streets of Fire.

 

[perfectimo]

Komm, süßer Tod - End of Evangelion

Are we meant to do more in this thread then just list songs?

[falcontwin]

The ride of the valkyries [http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=sx7XNb3Q9Ek] From Apocalypse now.


It's best viewed on a big screen with a decent audio system.

 

[Figgis Fiddis]

Imperial March - A New Hope.

So epic.

 

[AuntyEthel]

One, two, Freddie's coming for you...

How do you make a movie creepy? Simple, get kids to sing nursery rhyme type songs!

Anything from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

You sirs, are both genius'

I might also add to the collection, the entire "Garden State" Sound track. And the "Juno" Sound track.

I may be the one standing alone here, but, er, I hated the Juno soundtrack. I mean it was in place for the movie, but that's why soundtracks exist, to set the tone for the movie. A soundtrack is only good by my standards if it is actually musically pleasant.

And the Juno soundtrack came off as really annoying.

 

[PuckFuppet]

Ehh, off the top of my head Furious Angels from the Matrix.

Tawara from Snow Falling on Cedars.

Cadillac of the Skies from Empire of the Sun.

Duel of Fates from the Phantom Menace... I actually liked that film. *ducks for cover*

The list could go on for a while, but those are all instrumental pieces, don't get me started on the rest.. *starts humming Spamalot*
