Movies identified by theme music
Discussion
I was just going through some old films today and got to thinking, dangerous I know, but a lot of films from the past are well known just by their theme music. This seems to have been lost recently. Maybe too many films are being made, maybe composers are 2 a penny, I don't know.
However, what films do you know that are instantly known when hearing their theme?
Let me start....
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Superman
Star Wars
I've left plenty of scope for you....

Jaws....how could I have missed that..also The Great Escape. In among those, I'll give you 'Bridge over the River Kwai'
I'll bet you though, that those will not mean anything to persons under 28 (random age guess)
How many however, would recognise the X men theme? (nope-me neither)
ETA....I know the Stranglers song, and have seen the film but the song means more as a chart hit to me (old git).
Just shows how things move with the times!

I'll give you Indy and Star Wars, but the others are more songs that have defined the film, not the first thing that enters (one's) your head when you hear it.The Graduate (identified by the tune "Mrs Robinson")
Star Wars
All the Indiana Jones films
Let's try this...close your eyes and tell me what film it is (or at least the type of film)
