I..... wow.... I must thank you for posting that! I've just been clicking on just a select couple videos here and there to see other's favorites... (connection's been sucking), but that one had me curious, with the vague semblance of a memory surfacing of it from the title (I'm not sure I even saw the movie in it's entirety, if I ever did). But. As soon as it started playing, immediately pulled to attention, whole head pretty much going 'it's that one song... THAT SONG! o.o' 
Aaack... I must get the mp3 now.....

Ah! Yes... 'yes' at the first three (and Gladiator)... after my own heart! (willing to bet a ton of fans of those here, though) 
But out of curiosity, you've heard the Neil Finn version of 'Mountain' off the soundtrack, or just the movie version? I really missed the deep "dwarven" voices, but Neil's version fleshes it out into a longer, full song, with more instruments, and it really is gorgeous.

But of course. Of course. Wondered if you had familiarity with both. And yes, like I said, I do have a soft spot for the deeper, 'quietly' beautiful voices of the dwarves' version, but when I heard the more fleshed-out, instrumental, soaring voice of Neil's version... wow. ;) I once found an amazing cover of it by a group of music students with cello/violin, too if you'd like to hear. Aw, and sj! The Last Unicorn! That title song still nostalgic-ly 'gets' me every time.
Goodness.... and totally unrelated in either style or film to any of those, but how could I forget one of the haunting Bourne themes:
(The Piano Guys also did an absolutely amazing mash-up of it with a Vivaldi cello piece: )

Re: Your favorite movie soundtrack/ theme song
@Mara, there is something wrong with your links. Could you check them again?
I love HBO opening credits, like
- Game of Thrones
- Boardwalk empire
- Deadwood
- True Blood
They don't only sound great, they also look great.

Re: Your favorite movie soundtrack/ theme song
Oh yes, Schmiezi... "Boardwalk Empire" rocks! (And not just the opening credits...)
And I've really been in love with the TTSS-soundtrack lately, especially this piece:

Re: Your favorite movie soundtrack/ theme song
I still love the song for the Hobbit movie that appeared in the end credits.
"Song of the lonely mountain"

"Sherlock Holmes is a great man, and I think one day—if we’re very very lucky—he might even be a good one."

I love this song so much!
It always reminds me of the day with my friends in cinema and after the movie Benedicts and Martins names together on screen, I think I grinned like an idiot :D

Re: Your favorite movie soundtrack/ theme song
The first time I saw Return of the King I sobbed like an infant through the end credits. The combination of the character drawings and this song just did me in.
Into the West
Here's one where I feel both the score and the film have been sadly under-rated.

Both will be well worth your time. And if you make it to the end of Six Feet Under I vote it for BEST Series Finale EVER!
