Or prett much any other by Ennio Morricone
"Gremlins"
Jerry Goldsmith at his best.
Then again Hans Zimmer also very good.
The theme from "Requiem for a Dream"
Favourite soundtrack from the last couple of years is Johnny Greenwood's amazing work for There Will Be Blood
Hans Zimmer just rips off Gustav Holst directly and unflinchingly.
I'm going for The Thing by Ennio Morricone
That over the opening credits is ace.
Not a film BUT Henry Mancini's "Pink Panther" theme is fantastic
Fiteclub dude it totaly roks wikid awsum lik
This nugget of pure funky brilliance by david shire. Listen to it all, it's magic.
The little homey Mark Datz is on to something with Fight Club too. Dust Brothers at their finest!
+1 for Ennio Morricone

really like this[/url] , we did this exact same drive over the Grand St.Bernard pass on an Alps climbing trip in 1999, call it a pilgrimage, whilst loudly playing the Matt Monro theme. It was fantastic, apart from the Renault Senic rather than a Lambo Miura.
The theme from "Requiem for a Dream"
Actually that's a really good call!
+1 for The Italian Job and Matt Monro, pure class.
For a film soundtrack, I reckon O brother where art thou is pretty hard to top. T-Bone Burnett at his finest.
Overture from 'Dancer in the Dark'
makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck just thinking about it
The Abba film (joking !)
The Graduate
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather

Gas ich will Spass[/url] from the 1983 film of the same name.
My my is the girl with the pigtails hot.
Not exactly a theme (but as above it's gone a bit soundtrack anyway)
Avenues and Alleyways. Recurs in Love Honour and Obey, but then looking for it on Youtube found this great spoof film intro video for it. So, acceptable on both counts.
Long Good Friday
no contest - bit of Isaac Hayes
windmills of your mind ,Noel Harrison. I forget the name of the film, 🙄
[i]windmills of your mind ,Noel Harrison. I forget the name of the film[/i]
Are you sure that was the theme, and not just part of the soundtrack? (Midnight Cowboy IIRC)
Forgotten how good the magnificent seven music was. For me you cant beat this

Eagles Dare[/url]
although it always reminds me of

get carter seconded.
the whole original soundtrack is great in fact.
The opening theme of Alien (the 1979 film) sets the scene extraordinarily well despite being a pretty sparse piece. Get Carter gets my vote for best though.
Black Beauty... loved that horsey !
got to anything by Ennio Morricone.
but more recent stuff. requiem for a dream and moon by clint mansell ( ex pwei)

Has anyone else seen the Isle of Man high def bike footage in slow mo, with this as the soundtrack? Truly awesome!
This..

The soundtrack to Last of the Mohicans, haunting and powerful.
[url=
On a more contemporary sounding vein, Cry Little Sister and Lost in the Shadows from the Lost Boys album. The whole of the Cruel Intentions soundtrack is also very good.
The Dambusters.
Moby's beautiful God Moving Over The Face Of The Water from the movie Heat.
Has to be Ennio Morricone went to one of his concerts it was fantastic. His range is so much wider than the Spaghetti Westerns, my favourite theme of which is Once upon a time in the West. But his greatest work in my view is the [url=
And nobody has mentioned [url=
Top Gun[/url]
Classic
Morricone - Fist Full of Dollars
Last of the Mohicans is great too.
Going Home by Mark Knopfler
futon river crossing - MemberLast of the Mohicans is great too.
Try listening to [url=
original[/url].
for me it's either Elmer Bernstein's To Kill a Mockingbird or Maurice Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia. I love a party with a happy atmosphere...
Loads of great themes there, but not too many songs.. The Italian Job opener is great but another two that stand out for me...mainly for childhood memories..
Born Free opening theme by Matt Monroe
Ring of Bright Water end theme by Val Doonican.

sadly stolen by the Wendies / England fans
John Barry's OHMSS theme made me desperate to learn to ski when I was a wee boy - I think it still plays somewhere in the back of my head everytime I stand at the top of a piste.
+1 for Where Eagles Dare
