The opening titles of “Casino,” with Bach’s St. Matthew Passion playing over DeNiro’s exploding car.

I love the fight scene in the pub from “Shaun of the Dead” accompanied by Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now”. Shaun and his buddies bash the zombie in time to the music. Very funny.

My first thought was Raiders of the Lost Ark – Williams choreographed every move Indy made. I agree about Gladiator, my wife and I bought the soundtrack after seeing the movie, which is rare for us. The top though would have to be the music throughout Lord of the Rings, especially the Fellowship music. It was just about a character in its own right.

Gladiator + Hans Zimmer comes to mind. His moody stuff in two Batman flicks sets a pretty good mood.

Well a certain Vietnam war flick containing Wagner leaps instantly to mind. Just about anything John Williams has done. As for a movie that uses a modern music that was not purposefully produced as background for the movie, I can not think of any.
