Brother of mine, that theme song was intended to suck a witch's tittie.

In addition to most of those previously mentioned, the Boondock Saints main title ("The Blood of Cu Chulainn") was perfect. Firefly's title is good, too, and it has a tendency to grow on you when you're watching the show all day while drinking significant amounts of alcohol.

The Final Fantasy VII main theme is absolutely beautiful in its orchestral form, as well.

Mars Attacks! is pretty good, too.

Those are all good. Kevin Sorbo really screwed the pooch when he complained and got Andromeda's theme music changed to that crap they are using now.

I'd like to add "Anvil of Crom" from Conan the Barbarian

There was a TV series back in the 60s with theme music written by Manzini(the guy who wrote the pink panther). A sort of walking bass line that has been referenced a lot, in the Blues Brothers for instance.

B5-5th season-one of the few reasons I watched the 5th season at all.

Kodomo no Omocho

Especially the evangelion amv of it.

That's the theme to Peter Gunn.

That's my favorite B5 theme as well.

Borusa Makar · Post by **Borusa Makar** » 2004-04-29 10:43am

Doctor Who.

Dark Shadows.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2004-04-29 11:14am

B5 season 5. The other four were too dark for my tastes
Superman. Quite possibly the greatest movie theme of all time.
Superman TAS theme wasn't half bad
Batman (Movie and, by extension, BTAS)
Star Wars
Star Trek TNG
T1&2
Conan the Barbarian
A Team
Magnum PI
Silverado
Tropical Heat
BattleStar Galactica (the original)
Blue Thunder TV series
Der Fahnder
Angel
...to mention those that come immediately to mind.

And I'm thoroughly appalled there are people on this board who can NOT hum the James Bond theme from memory!!!
That's a bloody classic!!!

The Meow-Mix Theme.

Post by **Zaia** » 2004-04-29 03:31pm

Are we talkin' best as in best music, or best as in best fitting of the character it represents?

For whatever reason, I thought of the second, which is why I still think Bond ownz all.

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2004-04-29 03:50pm

I can't believe there's a favourite movie theme thread and nobody's mentioned Raiders of the Lost Ark!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Mentioning videogames and craptacular shitfests like ID4 ahead of Indiana Jones ...

I think the thread's a bit too general--we're all over the map with this stuff.

And I still think Indy comes in a close second to Bond's theme.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2004-04-29 04:07pm

I can't believe I forgot Indy!
AAAARGH!

Any theme music that you like the best will do. And I do mean *best*. If you're listing 150 themes, they can't all be equally good.

Post by **haas mark** » 2004-04-29 05:05pm

For me, and I'll prolly get shot for this, I say Mission Impossible or Gladiator because they inspire me more than (so far as I can think of) most, if not all, other theme music.
