    Favorite soundtracks for TV, Movie, or Videogame

    (I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea where this should go. But it seems fairly appropriate. I won't take it the wrong way if a mod has to move it )

    I've checked for similar threads, all of them seem a little old and could be considered a necropost. So I decided to do something a bit different.

    Soundtracks...The lifeblood of a movie, TV show, or video game. The right music can make or break them, in my opinion, capable of determining whether they are epic, meh, or awful. I'm a big fan of them, and are most of the time the only music I really want to listen to.

    What are some of your favorite movie, TV, and/or video game soundtracks? Posting examples is highly encouraged. Original soundtracks are preferred, though I can't exactly restrict it to only original ones. If you claim some non-original music used during a scene during a movie or TV show, for example, please try to find the particular scene and share it so we can see how it works. (Miniseries are welcome, as well)

    I'll start.

    (Lord of the Rings would be too easy...I'll go with something a bit more unknown, though still popular)

    Fans of the show Avatar: The Last Airbender will definitely recognize this iconic scene.

    One of my favorite games and equally one of my favorite songs from Dynasty Warriors 3

    The Pacific opening theme (Band of Brothers was good too but I decided on this one)

    Angels and Demons: "160 BPM" (beats per minute, the speed of the song...I'll admit, not one of Hans Zimmer's most clever titles but great music)

    There we go.

    My current favorite soundtracks:

    Babylon 5
    Doctor Who (all seasons as Murray Gold has been spectacular)
    Game of Thrones
    Band of Brothers
    The Pacific

    For movies, most of Hans Zimmer's soundtracks, not the least of which is the one for Rain Man.

    These are the ones I know off the top of my head but there are quite a bit more.

            Going to have to say Lord of the Rings, hopefully the Hobbit soundtrack is just as good.
            Lots of other good soundtracks but cant think of them at the moment.

                            My all-time favourite soundtrack is for "The Peacemaker" by Hans Zimmer.
