Which are your favorite songs from anime, films or games?

I have watched just one of Miyazaki's works (Tonari no Totoro), it did surprised me for its originality and uniqueness.

I just want to add this with regard to the games section ... guess what!

uhmm, some of those works were used in GTA3 if I'm not mistaken...
But I know just a little of that genre (I know just a little of music and audio in general ).

However some more tracks that I love:

This thread is fascinating and makes me glad of my age.
All I want to contribute is a very short song from a film "The Innocents". Both the film and song ("O Willow Waly") have haunted me for almost half a century.

Both the film and song ("O Willow Waly") have haunted me for almost half a century.

I know the feeling, I am being currently haunted by the Ghost In The Shell opening, it's all sabayonino's fault
Now I have no choice but watching that anime...
I have to say that I am finding out a lot of films and animes that I have never known thanks to this thread, and this is really good for me

Now, I can't make a post in this thread without adding some material, can I?

Anime
- Spice and Wolf opening theme (Tabi no Tochuu)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN_WgwEmRaw
- Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai opening theme (Oratorio The World God Only Knows)
full: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQr9-LC_2lQ
opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vXXCSIhL4w

Games
- Guilty Gear X Baiken's theme (Momentary Life, heavy rock version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6QOzGB10D0
- Guilty Gear X Testament's theme (Bloodstained Lineage, heavy rock version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Kb-f6x5MI
- Guilty Gear X Ky's theme (Holy Orders - Be Just or Be Death, heavy rock version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY-6SLIvMfM
- BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Jin's theme (Lust SIN)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8MJxlfC1k8

I know Daisuke Ishiwatari is getting old
But I am just astonished by how he is able to give the right mood and epicity to every fight and every character in those games, the gameplay and the game itself would just not be the same without those soundtracks, play to believe
By the way, this violin cover of Bullet Dance (link in my first post) is great:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUbw5YocNa8
It would be nice to be able to play violin like this...

- Headhunter Greywolf's theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNJxPORgocY

This theme plays when you encounter the first boss of the game, in a rooftop under heavy rain, at maxed out volume, it is just awesome how it creates the right atmosphere.

Films
Digging up in my DVD collection I finally found out something that I like (and liked) very much:
- Old Boy The Old Boy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb5bfh_u7mY

This film is just awesome, I highly recommend it, even if it is a bit dark
