yeah, I seem to remember a recommendation thread a while ago. I've still yet to see them live, but that piece is totally phenomenal. They truly are masters of the monumental buildup!
The most beautiful melody ever?

Though I'm sure no one will agree.

Probably not the most beautiful, but certainly very lovely, is this bit of piano used by Grandmaster Flash

Does anyone know what it's called? I'll be embarrassed if it's from a blaxploitation flick or a 70s sitcom.

You're all wrong it has to be Terence Jay~One Blood
I always thought that was one of their weaker ones - having said that, guess what I'm going to be listening to all day?! damn you!!

Moby - God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters, sublime
For some reason, it sounds way better when you hear it during the ending scene of Heat. At that point in the movie, the word "perfection" is the only thing in your mind.
Brilliant song, I only heard it after seeing them in Sheffield last week! Love that album
have you heard 'One More Step and You Die'? that's my favourite album of theirs

Yeah thats the one. There is a good clip of it here.
A few others that have come to mind:
Trio in E Flat - Schubert
Brandenburg Concerto No.3 First Movement
I like this one a lot, 'Time to say goodbye' by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli.

Not a very good recording though

.Stridently - nay, rampantly - off-topic, but I was there, and having never heard Mono before, I was very pleasantly surprised. Seeing as I would never hear Godspeed!You!Black!Emperor! [delete as applicable] play Yanqui UXO live, I was delighted to experience Mono performing something near-identical. Admittedly, I left early - but only because Mono didn't know when to stop. Note to the band: jaw-dropping, grin-inducing apocalyptic endings should be kept until the very end of the set, okay?Brilliant song, I only heard it after seeing them in Sheffield last week! Love that album
I've since heard some recorded Mono music... and let's just say it's a pale shadow of their live performance. Conversely, the treatment given to supporting band Jesu, in terms of sound and lighting, was appalling, and contributed to an experience that was a pale shadow of their monumental studio recordings.
But anyway, I'm now on a different continent topic-wise, so I'll shut up. Let the proposal of popular classical music used in films recommence!
