When I read a story or watch a movie or show, there are time when you can just tell how a scene is going to tun out. The bad guy set the meeting point? Ambush. Hero was knocked off screen and villain thinks him dead? He's just about to make a come back. And some times this ruins a scene for me. When there's no mystery it just becomes formulaic.
Except in one circumstance.
Which is when in the middle of a fight or some kind of trial....a remixed/extended version of the theme song starts playing. Because you know that things can only get awesome from here. It could be the change from normally quite a noisy scene to one that only has (normally operatic) music and characters talking that causes my heart to stir so easily. But I can't get enough of it.
Examples?
Last episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann when the rift to Earth opens
Kung Fu Panda when the light jangly music starts plays during Po and Kufu's fight
Doctor Who whenever "All the Strange Strange Creatures" starts playing
