Seconded.

also, the Gladiator and Last of the Mohicans soundtracks, and parts of the Dances with Wolves soundtrack, and several parts of the Master and Commander soundtrack.

Aphex Twin - Film

If anyone knows this song... it has the same melody as the song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory called "pure imagination"

 

[Duddy]

Path by Apocalyptica

Ecstacy of Gold of course.

And, every song on the Halo 2 Soundtracks.

 

[dustmann]

Jeff Beck - cause we've ended as lovers is a great song too. His tone is amazing.

 

[Modelworks]

Hendrix -all along the watchtower (no vocals)
shame the man died so young.

Are you a fan of the movie Heat? All I can think of is the duel at the end between Pacino and DeNiro.

Some of the best musical pieces in movies:

Last of the Mohicans - Promenade
Dances with Wolves - the John Dunbar Theme
Titanic - Rose's Theme
Braveheart - Outlawed Tunes

 

[KMFJD]

Ramparts and Murders by John Frusciante from To Record Only Water for Ten Days

 

[ahurtt]

From Felix Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words - Contemplation, Op. 30, No. 1 Eb Major

And of course, Metallica - Orion.

 

[ognabor]

Mute Math - Reset

 

[James Bond]

RJD2 - Ghostwriter

 

[eelw]

Lux Aeterna - Requiem For a Dream soundtrack

 

[Zenmervolt]

Either Mason Williams' "Classical Gas" or ELO's "Fire On High". Though arguably "Fire On High" doesn't count since it has backmasking in the beginning of the song, so it does have lyrics if you play it backwards.

Or, if I'm in the right mood, Glenn Miller's "In The Mood".

Bonus: Can you name what words are in the beginning of "Fire On High"?

Final Fantasy 6 - Terra in Black - OC ReMix

and Andy McKee - ToTo is pretty a pretty amazing version of the song, and it has no words

 

[Jeff7]

Erin Shore. I've heard versions by The Corrs (drum solo lasts way too long, but otherwise good) and The Royal Irish Regiment, which is alright, though each repetition lacks uniqueness, they're all very much the same to my ears. And the bagpipes just aren't as soothing as the instruments used in the Corrs' version.
Oh, also the version from a "Celtic Dreams" CD. It sounds like something out of a jazz club that uses poorly synthesized instrumentation.


The Wallace and Gromit theme is pretty catchy, too.


Other good ones:
Enya
Comb of the Winds
Sun In The Stream
To Go Beyond (II) (vocals, but no words)


Sarah McLachlan
Touch

 

[Kadarin]

I don't have a favorite, but if you're feeling mellow, there's a lot of instrumental music on Paul Hardcastle's Jazzmasters series that's most excellent.

 

[2Xtreme21]

YYZ - Rush

 

[richardycc]

love is blue -paul mauriat

 

[phreakah]

transylvania - iron maiden
