Favourite Movie/TV theme tunes?

dunno about you guys, but i feel that there's quite a lot of music that has been specifically made for a Movie or a TV program, and has been quite good. so list your favourite themes, and lets exchange notes

a couple of my faves:

Original Miami Vice (TV) theme - Jan Hammer
Crockett's Theme - Jan Hammer
Bad Boys Theme - Mark Mancina
Event Horizon Theme - Orbital

does any one know the tune from Heat, where Al Pacino follows Rob de Niro down a highway?

The movie and Tv show M*A*S*H* liked both the themes a lot

The only tv theme I can think up of is Law and Order. As for movies they would be

Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Braveheart

i am a big movie soundtrack person here are my favorites

(in no particular order)

Apollo 13*
Lord Of The Rings**
Patton*
Crimson Tide*
The Hunt For Red October
Gladiator*
Jurassic Park*
Star Wars*
Indiana Jones
Rudy*
Braveheart*
The Last Samuri

and im sure theres more but i cant think of them right now.


*=great sound track
**=my absolute favorite in the whole wide world

some good music being listed!

cpr, i never really watched M*A*S*H so i have absolutely no idea what the theme sounds like

Star Wars isn't really one of my faves, but Darth Vaders theme is outstanding

as for braveheart theme, i believe that some guy made a dance remix of it. just a footnote

The only ones that pop into my mind at this second has to be

The bad boys theme- Cops - Inner circle
The song from third watch
The song from Mash (above)
The knight Rider Song
Baywatch Song (girls ugh *drools*)

.. thats it cant think of any more even though i would love too
:bash:

I am trying to find the theme song to a 1984 tv mini sreies "Lace"

I'm not sure if this counts but i couldn't go past the "let's all go to the lobby" song

It's the best song ever and the best part is once it's in my head it's staying.

Man, there are a lot, and I'm sure if I tried to list them, I'd forget some, but I'd probably have to say my favorite is (drum roll please....)

The theme song from "Cheers"!

"Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name."

Classic.

Anyone remember 'the mysterious citiy of gold' ?

had an absolute corker of a theme tune, used to love that cartoon when I was younger.......shows my age....nightmare

I'll see if can dig it up...


Here it is!!

As a child, I hated this show, but the theme was integral to the development of my taste for weirdness

Dr. Who

Another show I wasn't a fan of, but with a wicked theme song...

The X-Files
