What Are Your Favorite Movie Themes?

[MaVolta]

I thought about posting a movie theme under favorite instrumentals, but then, there are so many!!  So, how about a topic for posting your favorite movie themes and soundtracks? And you don't have to pick just one. Name as many as you like.

King Arthur Soundtrack- when reading or writing

Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack -when in nostagic or romantic mood

Camelot Soundtrack (Richard Harris although I prefer the Broadway cast) - just because I lovethe music and Arthurian legends

Joseph and the Amazing Techinicolor Dreamcoat-when I am depressed and need a mood lifter

Anything by Miklos Roza because that man wrote beautiful music.

HIGH FIDELITY, THE SOUND TRACK WAS GREAT

[ks6388176]

Beaches - entire sound track, Wind Beneath My Wings makes me cry, and Bette Midler's version of Under the Boardwalk makes me smile and very nostalgic.

[dorkmeyer]

Others have named many good candidates, but IMHO the soundtrack for the movie "Amadeus" is beyond compare; Mozart's music transports like no other.

[ip3285]

@dorkmeyer: I agree with you - the movie and Mozart's music will live forever!

[n188152r]

Though there are many, I haven't  kept  up w/ them. Hence, gotta say "The Big Chill". And, that goes waaaay back 🙂

The Graduate - Simon and Garfunkel

 American Graffiti Soundtrack 

Grease Soundtrack 

[marciacon53]

Agreed! Just watched the Graduate last night. I had forgotten how great the Simon and Garfunkel music is. Also loved music from Tea with Mussolini -- actually bought that soundtrack. Saturday Night Fever is a favorite, too.
