Something Colossus

A while back I saw the movie Reign Over Me, and the main character's favorite game was, well, I don't remember what it was called. Something Colossus, hence the title of the topic. In it, the character you play has to climb up these giant creatures and find a way to kill them. At least, that's what it seemed. Does anyone know what game that is? And what system it's on?

Shadow of the Colossus.
It's a beautiful game. A masterpiece.
It's for playstation 2.
One of my two favorite games ever. It's beautifully made; you enjoy the detail of the game more than the play itself.
And the story behind it? Simply marvelous!

They barely reveal you anything of the story, but you can find some scripts online of the history behind the sacred land and the Dormin which are magnificent, albeit entirely speculative.

If I'm not mistaken it's sort of the sequel to 'Ico'.

It's been officially named Ico's prequel.
The ending of Colossus happens some centuries before Ico.
