I love "Aeris Theme" "Holiding My Thoughts in my Heart" "Anxious Heart" from Final Fantasy Seven, Aeris theme is so beautiful and sad, and I love "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy Ten, "Liberi Fatali" from Final Fantasy Eight Nobuo Uematsu makes such lovely, beautiful music not from Movies I know, but Epic YES. ^_^

And I personally.. don't know. I find most movie music amazing.

I'll find my most fav orchestral music now.

For one of pure epicness, and adding a chill to the atmosphere, it definitely has to be the WoW Wrath of the Lich King Main title: YouTube - World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King main title

However, for spine chilling music: YouTube - Wrath of the Lich King Soundtrack: Dragon's Rest .

A hint: Turn up your volume to VERY LOUD to get the full feeling.


I always liked epic movies, and the music always helps me transport myself into the action, or get the feeling of the moment.

I don't have much of it thoug, thanks for the tips everybody, I'm going to download my ass off today:vsign:

Well I'm not really sure of the names of the songs so I'll just go by where I heard the music...

~There's a really common song that's in many movies which I love. I last saw it in the new Babalon movie trailers.

~In advent children during the fight scene with Tifa.... the piano song was awesome and somehow gave me that epic feel you're describing.

~The opening and ending music to pretty much every Star Wars movie.

Honestly I could spend hours listing tons more of these.... oh well, I'm sure ya'll will come up with others that I'm thinking of.

I agree with you there. ALL Final Fantasy music is epic, even the FF XII soundtrack which wasn't Uematsu's work.

As for movie OST and it's composers I'd go for:

Vangelis, for his really epic scores like the "Chariots of Fire" and "1492: Conquest of Paradise". But I like "Blade Runner" most, probably because of how Vangelis tried to depict the future.

Joe Hisaishi, he really made some awesome music Kitano's for Miyazakis films. I like to exclude "Kikujirou" and "Spirited Away" as my favourite.

Ryuichi Sakamoto. When it comes to movie soundtrack I like most of his scores, his famous "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" score. , "Snake eyes" which was very different from the movie itself and wasn't suitable for it, but, nonetheless, really good, "Gohatto" which gave a really mysterious atmosphere to me, and "Tony Takitani" which has some of the most depressing tracks ever.

Thomas Newman, for "American Beauty".

Well, the instrumental in the begining is cool. What's it called? In this video, I mean. >.>YouTube - No Heroes left in men-Scar

The best movie soundtrack I've ever heard is from Memoirs of a Geisha. Even if you don't like the movie, the music is amazing! I also like the music from the Lord of the Rings movies, and House of Flying Daggers.

Nobuo Uematsu is definitly epic. To Zanarkand is my favorite by him.

I also like Andre Rieu. He doesn't do music for movies, but he plays music from movies. It's super ^^

have you listened to Mark Mancina he's composed some awesome music, my favorite from him would be "Diva" YouTube - [Blood+ OST] Diva - Mark Mancina this song is well Epic to me. :)

Not sure is anyone mentioned this but I loved the soundtrack to Gladiator by Hans Zimmer Especially the song "Now We Are Free" YouTube - Gladiator - 'Now We Are Free' Music Video

I love the music in Miyazaki movies. The soundtrack to his stuff is awesome especially to Spirited Away.
Movies always have great orchestrated music. Recently though, (even though its old news now) the music for the trailer of Star Craft 2 is exciting to say the least.
From Star Trek to Gladiator, Law & Order to Angel, I love it all.



I thought that movie wasn't that great but it had some good music. Especially with the scene when Jamie Foxx loses it while driving and they put on Audioslave - Shadows On The Sun.

there you go, thats the song i meant.

Every time I hear the opening bars of the Battle Spaceship Yamato theme, a tear comes to my eye, and I have to fight the impulse to jump to my feet with a hand over my heart.

[That's Starblazers to those who still remember it!] :D
