Beautiful Music in unexpected places

Recently, I have been big into symphonies and such. You know what I've found? Not all good ones are necessarily Tchaikovsky  or Beethoven. In fact, a lot of great music can be found in movies or (forgive me) even some video games. It's almost sad, how few people will recongnise good music because of where it comes from. Now don't get me wrong, there are certain places music comes from that I refuse to listen to (such as Harry Potter soundtracks.) That's found where anyone feels comfortable drawing the line. But seriously, when there is good music in say, Animal Crossing (not true, nastolgic maybe, but not beautiful by any means. Humor my example.) Good game, popular, but because it's in a video game where people talk to animals and fish and basically do everything boring in life we miss out on (-the talking to animals, that's pretty awesome) people tend to over look the music. When they listen to it, they are afraid of saying the music is good because of where it comes from.
To get the ball rolling, I've decided to include a few of my favorite peices from unexpected places:) Overcome the intimadation! Because it's from you tube, don't expect highest quality...
Okay, so go onto youtube right now and google this entire scene! It is so sweet.
^Oh yeah, from a video game
<-I even included the whole story for this one...though I can still make nothing sensical out of it...
<EXTREMELY powerful piece.
<Beautiful
