Background and Montage Music

[kota1342000]

Heres one for game play. Does anyone else use background music or specific scene tunes?
Some of the track I love using are bits of the soundtracks for National Treasure, The Rock, The Postman, The Green Mile, and Pirates of the Caribbean to name some. Typically I like using tracks that aren't quite immediately recognizable.
Anyone else?

Thread necromancy here....

If you can find the song you want on YouTube, you can change it to an mp3 with www.snipmp3.com.
