It must be lost in translation.

phoenix' - 'Too Young' in particular.

The Sigur Ros tunes in Vanilla Sky.

My favourite moment is in A Life Less Ordinary when Robert is digging his own grave and Celine is running to him, with REM - Leave pounding in the background Just Perfect.

Most of the music in Mulholland Drive is 'just right' too.

[Baby Huey]

We have a winner.

Layla in Goodfellas.

[TheEnd]

Willow's song- Wicker Man

The cook the theif the wife and his lover 'memorial' by Michael Nyman awsome. I drive like a loon if i have this on in the car it builds and so does my speed.

This give a little bit of an idea

But the best has to be philip Glass 'Prophecies' and 'pruit igo'which is in Watchmen. Abolutely fits in perfect with whats happenin in the movie at teh time.

both bits you can hear a bit of in the trailer

I've done that already.

[Pesty]

So you have, good tatse you have sir.

And I also notice somebody has mentioned the acid jaz from dirty harry. IMO the music made the film.

I think the Lalo Schifrin incidental music from a scene in Dirty Harry, where the killer is on the roof, is great, especially from about 3.15 onwards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmLG3uJrjNY&fea...

Top choice I prefer the music right at the begining where dirty harry goes uo to the roof of the sky scraper.

For me it has to be,

Ride of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now.

This is the original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4qxk7KhnHs

It was part of a film of mostly aerial shots of various landscapes, and this was to cover an Urban sort of feel

You are both right. The best piece of music from the best scene in the best film ever made. An utterly engaging highlight which, whenever I happen to catch it on TV I simply cannot turn away.

Yes another good choice. Excellent film with top music adding to it.

Just turn ot off 8 minutes before then and and its mustard.

Balls they don't have the original score on play. Anybody know where I can get it

[Civpilot]

For me one of the best peices of music ever used in a film is the final 8minutes of "Last of the Mohicans".

Stunning, just utterly stunning...

• Spoiler** Don't watch if you havent seen the movie, it is the closing moments!! **Spoiler**

For the life of me I can't remember what films its from.

Pretty inspiring music. It is used loads though. Sky sports news fans will recognise it

Three more;

Going to hell for this one, great pop song, godawful movie.

Gladiator 'Now we are free' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHAvjaHtlMA

Lisa Gerrard's voice gives me goosebumps, and the Gladiator soundtrack was arguably some of Hans Zimmer's best work.

Great piece of music this, really worked well with the film.
