Best Movie Theme Songs

Recommended Posts

Guest MrRant

My personal favorite is the Pink Panther movie theme song followed by Star Trek and then Star Wars.

You mean the actually opening to the movie or themes that just play in the movie?

 

If you're going with the first instead of the latter, I'm going to say the Star Wars theme simply because... it's the Star Wars theme!

"No Easy Way Out" - Rocky IV.

 

Don't tell me that doesn't pump you up.

 

A backyard fed (which recently closed after 11 years of activity) had a star called Jay Messier who used it for his ring entrance. He was honestly the most entertaining wrestler I possibly have ever seen, pro or amateur, whatever. Ok, enough marking.

Oh shit.. I forgot all about the Batman theme... and I'm Batman! :o

I'm also adding "You're The Best" from Karate Kid and the uber godly "Goonies R Good Enough" by Cyndi Lauper.

Yeah, but you're the Batuzzi-dancing Batman, not the rubber-assed Batman.

I didn't need molded rubber, that was pure West.

Man on the Moon by REM basically gave the life story of Andy Kaufman Movie its name. Its a pretty cool song too.

The Star Wars Theme is the all-time best movie theme. I believe everybody knows it, it's instantly recognizable.

 

"Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky is second place in my book.

Hmm...

 

 

The Indiana Jones theme when it starts quiet, then starts to build. That just gets the blood pumping. John Williams rocks all.

 

Rocky IV not only had "No Easy Way Out", but it has "Training Montage", which in my opinion is right up there with "Gonna Fly Now", "Eye of the Tiger" and "No Easy Way Out." All great music.

 

Star Wars. Duh.

 

The Magnificent Seven is one of the best Western, or flat-out movie themes, ever. Dun-dun-dah dun....

 

If you marathon James Bond movies, that theme will have about the same effect as Indiana Jones. For my money, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" has the best music running throughout the movie. Opening theme's a toss up.

 

And Batman (at least the first few) had a great theme going the whole time, and the music was a big part of that. Elfman does rule, because that music gets you right into the the Gotham mood.

That's a favorite of mine as well, but if you like Top Gun then you MUST like the Top Gun Anthem by Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens. I mean, this song kicks ass! One of my favorites, for sure.
