The Pink Panther theme is also very entertaining!

I once saw Henry Mancini in concert and it was awesome. Nothing like hearing the PP theme in person by the guy who wrote it.

da-dun da-daaaaa...

You don't mean Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve do you, 'cos that ain't an insrumental.

Eruption and Cathedral by Van Halen

I also like Intruder which leads into their cover of Pretty Woman

Others:

Tequilla
Wipe Out
Linus & Lucy aka The Peanuts theme. I like both the original and the guitar version by Gary Hoey.
Hocus Pocus

Does anyone like anything by Eric Johnson?

Any piece with cannons going off is cool

Wagner: Ride of the Valkuries

Is there anyone in America who can hear "Ride of the Valkyries" and NOT think of Apocalypse Now?

Well, I can, but I've heard the entire Der Ring des Nibelungen epic performed live.

I pretty much always think of Apocalypse Now when I hear it, that and a fat lady in a chainmail dress wearing a horned helment.

Two other songs also make me think of Apocalypse Now, Suzy Q and The End.
Since I saw the Redux version Suzy Q reminds me of the Playboy Bunnies even more than the original version did.
