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

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

VERY underrated movie. Main theme still pops up in trailers every now and then:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LR81hw8LIk

Another good one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xKZUnZMx4

Ignore the images on this one and just listen to the music, as they're completely unrelated to the film. Unfortunately, it's the only version I could find (quickly) of the main theme from Ladyhawke (great movie, and I LOVE the symphonic parts of the score. The early-80s progressive rock I could have done without  :furious ). This is just...WOW. Especially the last 30 or so seconds.

bailey,

Conan never used it, though there may have been something that might have sounded similar.

It DID appear in Excalibur.

Can't talk Civil War movie themes without this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X1yPoAaKL0

From the above, not the main title, but may be the best moment in the film:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ije9lDHXWpw

I love Edelman's use of high strings.

Then there's this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ejg-lPcFxU

When I found out who the composer of the score was I couldn't believe it, it's so completely different from anything I've ever heard from him before.

Another underrated movie, I keep wishing they'd do a sequel. And a GREAT theme to boot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSf5tx4e_PA

Can't believe no one's posted this one yet:

Burning Bridges

Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Burning bridges lost forevermore

2001 and Star Wars would prolly be at the top of my list. Both powerfull and very recognizable.

The worst has to be the one to Top Gun. Not because the melody is the worst out there, but because you think about that rotten movie after having heard only one second of the tune.
