Does anyone besides me remember " The Baby Elephant Walk". It was from a John Wayne movie called Hatari.

What Are Your Favorite Movie Themes?

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.

@cd997997 Yes, I remember that piece and started humming it when I read your post. It was written by Henry Mancini. Great music.

Yesterday I posted the Beaches soundtrack as my all time favorite.  Here are 3 YouTube links to:

 

"Under the Boardwalk" - Official music video

"Wind Beneath My Wings" - Movie clip from Beaches

The movie clip still chokes me up whenever I watch.

Cotton's Dream  - from the motion picture soundtrack, Bless the Beasts and the Children (1971), Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr, composers.

 

You may also recognize this music as Nadia's Theme which was adapted from this composition and released as a single in 1976. It was also used periodically as theme music in the tv soap drama, The Young and the Restless. 

 

From the soundtrack - Cotton's Dream

The soundtrack of the 1959 epic Ben-Hur, written by Miklos Rozsa. The music was perfect for the mood of the movie.

@n5661921 That was a great movie and catchy theme song. I remember seeing it when I was in high school back in 1956 when it first came out.
