ElPrimordial: A very well know song, but still wonderful: Tristram

Chilling bones!!! Diablo 1 Caves

I think this song resumes precisely what we can expect from that game... its a glimpse to Max's soul: Max Payne 2 theme

Baldur's Gate 2 - Shadow Battle Brilliantly epic!!!

Ahhh!!! Immortal, genius, epic, unequaled Vangelis!!!!!!

Cosmos (not precisely a movie but I think you can forgive me)

Blade Runner: End Titles
Memories of the Green one of the most melancholic and beautiful songs that I ever heard :')

1492 Conquest of the Paradise: West Across The Ocean Sea
Pinta, Nina, Santa Maria (Into Eternity) Come with me my dear friends, we will sail into the limitless waters of the infinite Universe, forgetting the insignificance of our daily issues... the time of space exploration is just ahead, can you see it?
Blade runner has my favorite soundtrack of all time as well as being my favorite movie.
Guild Wars 2 has a lot of really epic music. ArenaNet's got a SoundCloud account too. I queue up the playlists at work regularly.

DreamedArtist: the Grey - Once more into the fray ending ( Spoilers )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMjy_JrdO4E
That Youtube link is blocked for copyright content. I want to chime in to say, though, that the music in this scene from The Grey is one of my favorite movie pieces ever - it's called The City Surf, by Jamin Winans (actually I think it draws from John's Walk as well, but they're basically variations on a theme), and it's from the indie film INK - which is available here on GOG.

Winans wrote and directed INK and wrote the score as well, and the score became so popular it pretty much paid for the film. There are similarities in mood and form to the John Murphy piece Adagio in D Minor (Sunshine) from the Danny Boyle movie Sunshine, which you might like to hear as well - easy to find on Youtube. The use of the music in INK is exquisite. It scores a few amazing battle sequences that always make me cry.

Long time with this bump but still worth adding more songs. You know its amamzing no one put a 007 song in this thread. Epscially its title sequences so here is my favorite songs that I feel is very 007-ish.

The Theme song of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii1tc493bZM
Goldfinger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D1nK7q2i8I
Thunderball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia6-5gC5ArM
Diamonds Are Forever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbEuzJCnqI
Goldeneye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXphws8nYFA
Tomorrow Never Dies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cff2rGQ9yI
The World Is Not Enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNcZrn5dqZw
Casino Royal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD0uP25yxl8
Skyfall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4gdhsVKTcs

Honorable mentions for me its that they are not as James Bond feeling as the rest:

Quantum of Solice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROcNoNksuUo

Lol no on the contrary, I've just been very busy. With the first Mass Effect that is :) I'm a big fan of the films and their themesongs, with the horrible Die Another Day song being the only exception. Didn't really like that film either, but it did have the most beautiful bond girl, Rosamund Pike (technically she wasn't really the bond girl I know).
You already linked a couple of my favorites : Diamonds are Forever, Goldeneye and Tomorrow never Dies. I would however definitely add three more:
License to Kill
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
You Only Live Twice <-- mostly because of the beginning of the song
Oh, the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn,
oh the cow kicked Nelly in the belly in the barn,
Never did any good but it did her no harm.

With the right words, one can hear the right music. With enough people playing enough instruments lead by a good composer (not, your typical poser), they can hear the right music of so many instruments orchestrated working together.

It's what turns that flat trombone, that saddened trumpet, the over active drums, the seldom heard, but much revered tuba, the person on cowbells and the singer who reaches their high note a wonder when it all works together.

It's pretty Epic. It makes me want to brave the dungeon and face Blackhand himself (He is pretty much the backbone of the Iron Horde)
so far so awesome!

I love the part around 1:45.

Love the orcish chants. Makes me think of them singing along as they are working in the foundry. (Hammers smithing and smelting metals)

Also you here a soundtrack from Warcraft 3. NOSTALIGA!!!
