Video Games:My personal favorite is the Ace Combat Zero theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQsWpcwvmI0This contains the usuall orchestra+Choir, BUT it has an added spanish flair to it and contains a spanish guitar with a rythim guitar solo, I use this music to replace the stuffty Starfox Assault music when I play it. This is on my iPod
the only thing is that it is sometimes repetitive and gets predictable at some points.
Another favorite is the Assassins Creed soundtrack (2 links):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkXt9ZZTdb0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a2Drdfs-4Y <-to get the real taste of the music, skip to about 7 mins.
This soundtrack features a chorus and a mix of techno/middle-eastern style, It is contempuary (spellcheck please) and is different. I love the use of flutes and whatever middle-eastern style woodwind that is.
Halo has OK soundtracks, but nothing special (everyone has heard of the halo theme right?)
Advent rising is awsome, too many good song to link. Our band actually played the Advent rising theme for marching this year. Try "Advent Rising theme" or "Greater lights" is one my brother (Bri2.0) likes but I never heard it.
Half life 2:

Movies:POtC:
Classic, my band also played this one year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA5WpBVsGdENational Treasure: not the best, but something to listen to, If you notice, every soundtrack has a main theme, this shows NT's theme perfectly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyl-JXOTLP8Quantum of Solace, Another Way to Die: This is the main theme to the new James Bond movie, I love Jack White and his style, even though the chorus could use some work, this is a fun one to play on guitar:
