You notice how lots of trailers like to "borrow" music from other movies or play "popular" songs alot to the point of redundancy?

Well...here's the thread. In your opinion of course.

5) Requiem For A Dream Theme (The Two Towers)

4) Planet of The Apes (2001)- Main Titles (Star Trek Nemesis, Spider-Man)

3) Massive Attack - Angel (Murder By Numbers)

2) Nara - E.S Posthumus (Unfaithful, Antwone Fisher)

And by far the most overplayed one:

1) Lunatic Calm - Leave You Far Behind (Spider-Man, Titan A.E., ibid ibid ibid)

"Washington Square" from Searching for Bobby Fisher is used an awful lot.

It seems like "And Then He Kissed Me" was used in uncounted previews for a while.

Peace.

The Zimmer music from Crimson Tide is in just about every action movie/epic trailer ever.

Chock up some Gladiator music as well.

And POD's "Boom" and "Alive" are getting used a lot.

Conan the Barbarian. But it's such a great score, so I'm not bothered.

Personally, I really liked the way Elfman's POTA2K1 score was used in the Nemesis trailer.

The point is, it's not so overplayed as it's a tribute to great music. Well, that's how I see it.

Too lazy to look it up, but the theme music from Pay It Forward is fucking everywhere.

Actually, any Smash Mouth is overplayed when it comes to trailers.
