Klingon as a First Language
In the "social experiment" to end all "social experiments", a Minnesota father claims he put his computational linguistics Ph.D. to good use by speaking Klingon--and only Klingon--to his baby. Yes, for the first three years of its life, this kid was subjected to in-real-life parental trolling. The s... More.
Replacing a switch on an electric shaver
The owner of this electric shaver with a faulty power switch taught it a lesson it won't forget. I think it's great that he fixed it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one.... More.
The Coming Apocalypse is Pretty Funny Actually
Barring any major uptick in stupid, this will be the last time I poke the 2012 believers with a stick. I swear. (At least, until January 2013.) Besides, this is a slightly different take than the usual debunking. The Santa Fe Reporter (the paper) sent Santa Fe reporter (the person) Corey Pein into... More.

John Berry needs some representation:

Jerome Moross, The Big Country

Bolero! (my favorite) heard in such classics as Basic and Allegro Non Troppo
I can't believe no one said
Blade Runner
That soundtrack is baby making music!

Queen - Flash Gordon

Stewart Copeland - Rumblefish

Sergei Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky
Bernard Herrmann needs to be on this list several more times, particularly for NORTH BY NORTHWEST.
OMG! A friend recently pointed me to Umbrellas of Cherbourg via FBook's 25Q meme and I recognized the music from my childhood -- made me think of another muzak earworm I always wondered about and said worm was the next selection in the playlist!
How bout Lara's Theme from Doctor Zhivago?
The Third man. Best movie theme ever!

EVER!
wow so I thought I was some kinda of freek for having the soundtrack to the good the bad and the ugly on my MP3 player ah I feel much better now
Going Home is my favorite instrumental by a rock band, ever.
I'd also add "He's A Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean. Perhaps not quite in the same vein, as it's orchestral-- however, it's one of the few orchestral songs that regularly makes into my rock playlists.
needs more mancini,(charade and breakfast at tiffany's) throw in some angelo badalamenti for good measure.
oh hell, just load the fantomas director's cut album.
I'll chip in with:
Anatomy of a Murder, Duke Ellington
Laura, Mercer and Raskin
Over the Rainbow, Arlan and Harburg
The main theme from Cinema Paradiso is absolutely qualified for the list. The melody alone can bring back the lump in the throat you got from the first time you watched it.
