* "Prologue: Into the Woods" is amazing in the stage version of ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'', but [[Film/IntoTheWoods the film version]] is really something special. Especially at the very end, where all the different voices and lyrics come together and flawlessly harmonize and flow with each other... it's enough to drive you to tears, and for fans of the stage show, this was the first major sign that all their worries about the adaptation were for naught, and that this was going to be a good movie. Also [[https://youtu.be/c4WQESlOeco "Hello, Little Girl"]] combines EvilIsSexy with OneSceneWonder for a seductive VillainSong. Who knew Creator/JohnnyDepp could sing so well?

** While ''Film/ElmoInGrouchland'' isn't as fondly remembered as its predecessor, it still has some seriously good songs, the standout being "I See A Kingdom," sung by the Queen of Trash (played by Creator/VanessaWilliams).

%%** The [[https://youtu.be/_rwUOut0CqA theme]] from ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}'', that Naked Space Vampire Movie, proves that Mancini can do epic SF fanfare too.

* Basil Poledouris examples:

* IsaacHayes and his theme for ''Film/{{Shaft}}''; badass personified.

* Christopher Young's entire score for the original ''Film/{{Hellraiser}}'' film is dark, foreboding, mysterious, and imposing. Awards must be given for his "Resurrection" track, which played during Frank's fleshy resurrection as a skinless monstrosity back into the earth from the [[https://youtu.be/0GpveZRy2Cw world of the cenobites]].

* ''AwesomeMusic/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld''

* The ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' [[https://youtu.be/XTGyeGgMpk8 theme]]. So awesome you can hear the [=DeLorean=] shifting up gears and acceleration as the full piece proceeds. Put ''this'' one in your CD player and find an accommodating freeway somewhere.

* ''Film/DazedAnd Confused'' has possibly the most epic soundtrack of all time. The fact that they had to release it over two albums and still didn't get all the songs included (mostly due to licensing rights, one would suspect) says something. Kiss, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Foghat, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, War, Aerosmith, Bob Dylan, Peter Frampton, The Runaways and more... Put the discs (or flash drive or Spotify playlist) in your car stereo, roll down the windows, crank the volume and hit the road!

* [[https://youtu.be/oDKiT3icMYM "To Be A Hero", the heart-stirring theme song]] of the ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina'' franchise (starring Jet Li), based on the traditional Chinese Ballad "Jiang Jun Ling" ("General's Orders"). Unfortunately, every single kungfu clip on Youtube uses this song. In Hong Kong, this song is pretty much ''the'' default theme song to anything related to Chinese martial arts. It's that iconic.

* [[https://youtu.be/MN_hCJMVaAk "A Man of Determination"]] from ''Film/OnceUponATimeInChina'', which has gone down as one of ''the'' most iconic kung fu themes ever.

* The CultClassic satirical comedy ''Film/ButImACheerleader'' uses Tattle Tale's "Glass Vase Cello Case" for the climactic LoveConfession scene at the graduation to great effect. A hard-hitting and achingly soulful folk punk track, many fans of the film still get teary-eyed hearing the song to this day. The film is also the primary reason Tattle Tale (a sadly short-lived indie band who were otherwise mostly unknown outside the 1990s Seattle punk scene) didn't fall into complete obscurity after they broke up in 1995 after just three years.

* Creator/MontyPython's music tends towards the silly rather than the awesome, but there is no denying that "Brian" (from ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'') has a suitably epic and awesome feel even if the lyrics are things like "And he started to shave / [[ADateWithRosiePalms And have one off the wrist]] / and want to see girls / And go out and get piiiiiiiiissssed!" Gilliam's animation doesn't hurt the sequence any.
