6* ''Walking With Dinosaurs'': There are several, such as the [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Campaigner101#p/search/0/lchw0UvwEmQ opening theme]], the heartbreaking [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IJIp_kyJLo Giant of the Skies]], the epic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stS4SSrv6cU Flight of the Ornithocheirus]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ123EGQlSo Diplodocus march]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaaNFO3EDw4 Raptor chase]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUBIUk_D-qY Cruel Sea suite]]... just get the soundtrack, close your eyes, and let Benjamin Bartlett's music take you back to the Age of Dinosaurs.
7%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ123EGQlSo Time of the Titans]].
8%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_D2F9QdU8M Battle of the Salt Plains]].
9%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaaNFO3EDw4 The Utahraptor Hunt]].
10%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBIp7yHo_NQ Departure of the Muttaburrasaurus]].
11%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrY7LTmLjgg The Ending Credits theme]].
12* ''Series/TheBalladOfBigAl'': The ''Allosaurus'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_D2F9QdU8M hunt on the salt flats]] is probably the best musical piece in the whole ''Walking With'' series. The funny [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRksJwGpOyc young Allosaurus theme]] is also worth of mention.
13* ''Walking With Beasts'' has many masterpieces as well: the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdtjCQhzl4g attack of Basilosaurus on the Moeritherium]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeStegYXevs entelodont battle]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMygBxRXpS8 Indricotherium theme]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_QY4EJaq-o Smilodon clash]], the very evocative mammoth march, the majestic Australopithecus wandering in the plains after being chased from their old territory, and ''all'' the music accompanying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCq8Li9_6WA New Dawn]]. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uSFCIOK9MA opening theme]] of course, which rivals Big Al as the title of "the best". Then there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnR--j7TdTs closing theme]] which ends with a peaceful theme of ''homo sapiens'' watching mammoths march by as they carve artwork devoted to them -- ending up in a museum where Branagh warns "no species lasts forever".
14%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMygBxRXpS8 Gentle Giant]].
15%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wMZQkQWFTs Earthquake]].
16%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_QY4EJaq-o Blade Brothers]].
17* ''Walking With Monsters'': The opening theme, the ''Anomalocaris'' fight, the ''Cephalaspis'' migration, the Jaws-reminding ''Hyneria'' attack, the whole Early Permian Period, the relentless ''Dimetrodon'' and gorgonopsid attack, the sad Permian Extinction, and the march/river-crossing of ''Lystrosaurus''. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIGlOwdWpL4 Evolution theme]]: it almost makes ''Monsters'' seem like a videogame with all the stages and respective enemies.
18* The music in ''Sea Monsters'' is overall great, but the music playing during the mosasaur attack really makes it awesome, and is equally great to the above ''Ballad of Big Al'' example. The credits theme is also appropriately scary, ominous, and dark, and really makes you feel like you're going through the darkest depths to meet all the nightmarish monstrosities Nigel meets himself.
