Default Your Top 3 Movie Theme Songs

1. The Ecstasy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly


The other theme from G.B.U. is probably better known, but this is the song I think of when I think of the movie. The way the song builds is epic by definition.

2. Jurassic Park Theme by John Williams from Jurassic Park


I still remember the first scheme where they show all the dinosaurs running through the plain, completely blew my mind. The CGI still holds up even today. John Williams is responsible for so many classics though, so hard to pick just one.

3. James Bond Theme - James Bond


To me it's one of the most iconic themes in all of cinema, they could use this as the opening theme to every James Bond movie till the end of time and it would never get old.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

I forgot to add that to my "Christmas got" list. I got a 4 DVD set that has Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and Hang'em High.

That said:



Was this in the newly released A-Team movie?


Starwars is up there, but the rest are really subjective.
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

Basil Poledouris has done quite a few soundtracks with the traditional orchestra sound (meaning not songs being sung) that has that big booming type of dramatic presence in them. Really think he does a great job in the genre.

Can't really separate them in my mind, but both the Rocky Theme and Eye of the Tiger are epic:




Back to the Future Theme... very underrated:





Just watched this the other night with the kids... forgot how great all the music in it was:

Central Loudoun (Virginia) Cowboys
2011 Champions!

Also, I think these videos have been posted here before, but they're still great.

Once you hear them, you can't listen to them again without thinking of the "lyrics."







Probably the best of the bunch:

Central Loudoun (Virginia) Cowboys
2011 Champions!

Yes on Last of the Mohicans...



Others...




You could probably just make this a John Williams thread...

Edit: Here's another.

My wife's favorite, she could watch the movie every day and not get bored of it, but yeah that's a great one.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

I love it so well that it have it on my ipod/iphone.

Here's one that will not make a lot of favorites' list because it is very basic:

John Carpenter's The Thing

It's really a glorified rendition of a human heartbeat, but I love it nonetheless.
