VERY underrated movie. Main theme still pops up in trailers every now and then:

Another good one:

Ignore the images on this one and just listen to the music, as they're completely unrelated to the film. Unfortunately, it's the only version I could find (quickly) of the main theme from Ladyhawke (great movie, and I LOVE the symphonic parts of the score. The early-80s progressive rock I could have done without  :furious ). This is just...WOW. Especially the last 30 or so seconds.

James Bond theme song is great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii1tc493bZM

Some of the theme songs for individual movies have been  :rolleyes:

The best Bond theme, IMO.  Followed closely by Goldfinger.

One of the best overall soundtracks is from Almost Famous.

bailey,

Conan never used it, though there may have been something that might have sounded similar.

It DID appear in Excalibur.

Can't talk Civil War movie themes without this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X1yPoAaKL0

From the above, not the main title, but may be the best moment in the film:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ije9lDHXWpw

I love Edelman's use of high strings.

Then there's this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ejg-lPcFxU

When I found out who the composer of the score was I couldn't believe it, it's so completely different from anything I've ever heard from him before.

Another underrated movie, I keep wishing they'd do a sequel. And a GREAT theme to boot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSf5tx4e_PA

Can't believe no one's posted this one yet:
