I think I can sum it up in three words (not counting three articles and a conjunction):
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Two words: Star Wars.
Not only count the main theme, but also the supporting ones, like Duel of the Fates, Across the Stars, Luke and Leia, the Emperor's Theme.
Ah... sheer poetry.

THE James Bond theme music! None of this "title song" and crap--I mean the trumpet-blaring Ba-Daa-Buh-Daaaaa-Buh-Daa-Daaaaa that everyone knows! THAT is the most kickass theme music EVER!!

I'm shocked that nobody mentioned Babylon 5's theme music. Twin Peaks is great also. I also have an affection for the theme from Airwolf.

Star Wars, easily. I have watched every single Bond movie, countless 'epics', an entire plethora of Sci-Fi, and Star Wars is the only one that I can hum from memory.

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

Here's one I'm sure you'd appreciate:
Space: Above and Beyond
A good theme for a good show.

Not mentioned yet:
ST:TNG
STII
The Final Fantasy series: both the Prelude (with the harp) and the main FF theme.
The Final Fantasy IV opening theme (AKA the Red Wings' theme)
The Final Fantasy IX theme.
I don't know if it really counts as a theme, but fuck it: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood from Kill Bill Vol1.

True, but I have to concentrate in order to remember that one.

While its not theme-only, the Eagle's Journey of the Sorcerer is awesome as the theme of the H2G2 radioplay.

Tank! from Cowboy Bebop, the Star Wars theme, and the Final Fantasy prelude.
