The soundtrack section got me thinking about this. Have you ever been at the movies and recognized the music behind the trailer? I'm not talking about the songs, I'm talking about the temp score they usually put in.
For example, I can identify Jerry Goldsmith's main theme from Dragonheart score on ears. "Washington Square" from Searching For Bobby Fisher is another big one. That's the one with the piano where it swells and then peters out.
And of course, there is the immortal "Sword of Crom" from Conan The Barbarian .
Unfortunatly, in these rock based, simple plan shilling days, you hardly ever hear temp tracks used in movie trailers anymore. And I can think of lots of trailers where the mood would have been more effective if they used orchestral music instead of rock music.
Peace.
