Great minds must think alike, before listening to first post link, i thought to myself
has to be the Theme to the Good the Bad and the Ugly 

Although the theme to 2001 is a classic. I would have to say you both hit it on the head

Great thread!!  :aok

The Bond movies usually do well with intro themes.

I think this is the best opening movie theme song I ever heard.  Gives me chills every time.

Not really a movie (technically)

But the Theme from Band of Brothers gets my vote

Not TECHNICALLY a movie (though there were a couple made-for-TV ones back in the day, not to mention the one from this year).

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

All good ones, but still, I like the one I listed best. The opening theme for "The Gallant Hours".
