It can be a theme or something just used in a scene someplace, but it can't be a piece of classical music that predated the movie itself.
I'm going with the theme in Blade Runner.
P.S. Does anybody know what that piece was in the beginning of Aliens, when the shuttle is drifting through space?

The classic Star Wars trilogy, especially The Empire Strikes back. Without question.

The Truth and Reconciliation Suite on the Halo soundtrack. The one they play in the main menu of the game with the drums, violins, and some creepy choir thing.

The DS9 theme
The theme for ST 2 and ST 3 (I think it was the same one)
Various of the precursors remixes, and the Orz theme (which I have not yet heard the precursors remix yet...)

I'll definitely agree that the original music fits into the game better than the remixes, for the most part. But for just listening, I would have to say some are better.
The Mycon is nifty in both incarnations; the remix is very different, with apparently a different aim. Similarly for hyperspace.
A friend of mine just said that the soundtrack to the Rocketeer is amazing. Not having seen the movie in like 15 years, I can't recall.

"The Mycon is nifty in both incarnations;"
Agreed. One thing I really liked about the original one, was that bizzare cultish feel it had. Perfect for the Mycon.
"Also, the theme song for The Journeyman Project series."
Hehe, I have a copy of that on my hardrive. I thought I was crazy, but I guess I'm not alone. The game itself was kind of slow if I recall, the music was the main good part. They used some vangelis style sounds on a few of the themes.

I only played the first one. What were the others like? I never got them because exploring castles in a space suit seemed too far apart from the more futuristic original.

The second (Buried in Time) one was actually very good. It was certainly the hardest. You visit many interesting locations throughout history, such as the mayan temples at Chichen Itza, Lenardo da Vinci's workshop (which includes 3D models of what some of his inventions may have looked like), a derelict space station, and yes, a castle. Instead of saving earth's chances at joining the symbiotry like in the first game, you're out to save your own arse, as you were convicted of some crime or other (changing history I think).
It was a highly enjoyable game.
As to Legacies of Time, that game was pure fun. No devious puzzles like the second, but a few head-scratchers. Also, no way to die, so the gameplay is more relaxing (if less suspenseful). With the chameleon jumpsuit, you can interact with all the folks from the past, posing as any character you've encountered from that time period. It really adds a whole new dimension to the game, imho. Also, the locations you visit are semi-mythical; atlantis, el dorado, shangri-la.
If you liked the first one, I would certainly suggest you check out the other two.
