Edit: This is the same thing on Amazon. They have the wrong cover art, showing a picture of the back of the CD apparently:

Too bad you don't get to hear the chorus in the sample video they provide:

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story was a POS but the soundtrack is awesome. I remember it being played over other movie trailers and sporting event commercials on TV back in the 90's.

Alan Silvestri composed a memorable score for Predator:

Predator 2 had some great music as well:

Re: Best "sweeping/epic" score
Alan Silvestri is like the strongest composer out there, every single score he does is at the very least good.
If we are talking about games now, I have a couple

I also love Jack Wall's work on Mass Effect 2:

This piece really got my heart pumping during the climax of the game:

I'd love a BD with two lossless audio tracks. One featuring the original mono mix and another featuring a brand new 5.1 mix that would use this new score recording.

Oh and both cuts of the movie of course.

Re: Best "sweeping/epic" score
I have a copy of this soundtrack, and the bass is pretty wicked, YouTube doesn't do it justice:
"Cries and Whispers" from the OLDBOY soundtrack is quite epic, but the only version is from the scene in the movie where it's used most effectively and that's a huge spoiler.

This has been a favorite of mine since I was a little tyke. I've always considered it "epic".

Re: Best "sweeping/epic" score
This is one that threw me - the soundstrack of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow has a sountrack that IMO eclipses the LOTR trilogy. Absolutely massive soundtrack. Here's a snippet.

Re: Best "sweeping/epic" score
I might have posted this before, but the soundtracks to Conan the Barbarian and the Deluxe one of the original Superman are so great that all I need to do is pop them in and I can actually see the movie occur by just listening.
Last of the Mohicans is also amazing.
That new Conan recording kicks ass.

Re: Best "sweeping/epic" score
Yes, Oscar Araujo is a fantastic composer. I found the whole album in FLAC. I'll check back later if I find the forum where I got it. It's a great album.

Re: Best "sweeping/epic" score
Although the worst film in the series (assuming the fourth film doesn't royally suck), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End had the best music in the series, by far:
