Post your favorite movie theme song
The proper music adds so much to the film itself. Here is one of my favorites:

Really, anything by John Williams.

Last summer I had the awesome experience to see the Utah Symphony Orchestra perform The Music of John Williams at Deer Valley. Every song performed was amazing, but I think my favorite live was the theme from Jurassic Park.

That Jurassic Park theme is a good one.
No matter where I am it puts me in a helecopter flying over the beautiful scenery of Costa Rica.

I had goosebumps listening to it in front of a live Orchestra.

Yeah. I bet. Thanks for posting. Here is another of my favorites. Original 1971 movie is great too.

(Technically, it's a television series and not a movie.)

Don’t hold me to it, because I might think of something else later, but the first thing that came to mind is this:

Also along the James Bond line, the theme (perhaps the only one sans lyrics?) to “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.”

I like Last of the Mohicans

Surprisingly, some of the music in Robo Cop is pretty good too.

Lara's Theme from Dr. Zhivago is near the top of my list. Great song from a great movie.

Even with a great cast including Sir Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, virtually the only thing good about the 1968 war movie "Where Eagles Dare" was the opening theme. 50+ years from the time I watched it as a teenager, I still love it!

There's also a long version:



And secondly:





"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
