Best Film Themes

[Eric Mc]

Talking of "Battle of Britain" made me think about film themes. I like almost anything ever written by Ron Goodwin.
I also like lots of the big war film themes, such as John Addison's "A Bridge Too Far",

[mattviatura]

Where Eagles Dare
ET Main Theme
Blade Runner Love Theme

Nah, I'll be here all night...

[tractorguy]

My top three,

1. The Terminator
2. Das Boot
3. Halloween

Anything that doesn't involve comedy romance, pregnancy or someone's relationship with their fking father could in theory have merit.

I was asking about music themes rather than plots

Right, in that case American Beauty and District 9 spring to mind. (If I'd actually have read your OP I guess I wouldn't have made that mistake... )

Jabba la Prescott, who only entered politics after Les Dawson died and his work as a stunt double dried up.

pesty - it's citta violenta / the family according to wiki. i have the track as part of an obscure psychedaelia compilation.

i thought the thread was more original scores than soundtracks? i'll be here all day if we can pick from the latter.

i'll cheat slightly with a foot in both camps though - the who's "tommy". best bit for me has to be jack nicholson and ollie reed duetting in the doctor's office.
