Most recognizable movie theme music....

first of all if this goes in the music forum please move....

What are some of the music themes that will evoke a strong emotion in you? Now I dont mean something that you've seen in the last coupple of months either. There are movies however that if you play the theme song almost ANYone can say I know that song! For me the list is:

Star Wars main theme
JAWS
Imperial March ( Vader )
Halloween
Friday the 13th
Magnificient Seven
Wizard of Oz
Close Encounters
Gone With the wind
ET

remember to please list ones that the majority of the population will recgonize not just your certain age group. 😉

ET- by John Williams, actually I'm listening that some in this moment 😖
You are right once I heard that song I know from where it comes and I even the remember almost the whole movie by memory 😛

Others that I think have the same effect:
Superman
Indiana Jones
Forrest Gump
The Godfather? 😖
Titanic - My Heart Will Go On
The Bodyguard- that song by Whitney Houston

Star Wars, Jaws, Warriors and James Bond

The Good The Bad And The Ugly, For A Few Dollars More, Rocky(Gonna Fly Now and Eye Of The Tiger) LOTR, Braveheart

I like Star Wars theme music, especially the new song in the Attack of the Clones....

the most memorable music that came to my mind first was jaws (i was scared of my kiddie pool after that movie), then star wars (main theme, duel of the fates, vader's theme), superman, batman, james bond, indiana jones.

I guarantee that even though you don't know what the songs come from, that you would recognize the songs. Especially The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly theme. Even if people don't know where it comes from, they know the song.

yup... they use the good, the bad, and the ugly theme every time rivals face off... especially a cowboy high noon duel.

Jaws

None of you have mentioned James Bond...That along with Star Wars and Jaws are the most reconized.

Jurassic Park

Bond was mentioned by the 3rd post.

seems like MegaHarrison is mega inattentive.

The only I think of that hasn't been mentioned is Gremlins.

Star Wars
Imperial March
Indiana Jones
Jaws
James Bond
That Titanic theme (Don't remember the name)

that's about all I can think of

i know its not as well known as lets say, star wars, but it does provoke a strong emotion in me............pirates of the caribbean and even castaway with tom hanks.....both theme songs have been used in the olympics when they give the athletes backgrounds before they are to preform. well neways i just though they were both really good.
