perhaps this has been discussed, but is it just me or is this song amazing

im fairly certain i could do anything and make it seem epic. when i was at illinois they played it with a video showing all the past great football players before every game, im pretty sure i was ready to suit up and go out on the field after it haha.

anyone else got other great theme songs?

I have the Oakenfold remix of Lux Aeterna on my favorites list... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWkSjlyw0Zs Clint Mansell has done some amazing soundtracks, not least of which is Pi, another movie by Darren Anfronsky.

Another great theme song is the opening to Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVgSuuUTwQ apparently they took down all the copies of this song that had the intro animations, which are also pretty cool. It's some of the best sci-fi I've seen

Every time I hear that song all I can think of is all the messed up stuff in the movie (of the same name if you haven't seen it)

I always liked the Jurassic Park theme song.

Many of you might not get this, but the music from the Harry Potter movies always gets me into a Harry Potter mood. Even though the movies mostly suck compared to the books.

Ugg, your link leads to Harry Potter!!! I guess I should read the whole post first. I was expecting Jurassic Park.

If you really think about it, nothing gets the heart pumping like the theme to Hawaii 5-O... but you have to do it aloud in a public place for it to work properly ;)

When you're talking about books turned into movies, I've always thought the books were better.... Now vice versa, I think they should've left the movies alone! HAHAHA.

Ditto. I always tend to find the books were better than the movies they made from them; although they did a fine job with Sahara (Too bad they'll never make another movie from a Clive Cussler book).

You may like the video, but the song is great.

Fun to play ACE combat 6 to.

Edit: I just realized that it's supposed to be theme songs from a movie. So, in that case, I offer this.

Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it.) it's become popular again because of that travesty of a movie "Sherlock Holmes". But the Dubliners have been around for years and years.
