We,ve had a lot of fun recently with films,music,songs,groups,concerts etc. Now it's my turn. Subject favourite film songs/themes.

My top 5 to get the ball rolling

1. Love theme from 'Witchfinder General'

2. Chariots of Fire

3. Music from the 'Dollars' trilogy

4. Once Upon a Time in the West

5. My Rifle, My Pony and Me. (sung by Ricky Nelson & Dean Martin in Rio Bravos)

If we're talking about dorky songs in dorky westerns, then I don't think anyone could top the Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin duet in "Paint Your Wagon."

I agree,but that one brings back special memories and it is my favourite, but too many people would think I'm a bit odd if I put that at #1

Eastwood actually sang in that one and is embarrased to this day (according to an interview I saw). Chariots of fire, excellent arrangement- play it loud!

How bout themes from:

-The good, the bad and the ugly

-Pink Panther

both in my fav MP3 folder and both classics

PS, Cat Ballou didn't make the cut

One film I thought at the time of seeing had an unusual and very haunting theme, was the Aus*rali*n (it is correct to put asterisks in swear words, isn't it?) Peter Weir's film, "Picnic at Hanging Rock" - the first time George Zamfir's music was heard - before he went all sh*t and poppy.

The film wasn't bad either.

He also did the music in "Once Upon a Time in America" a few years later.

Theme music from the Godfather is great.

Also, I am a big fan of the music of Thomas Newman who has written movie scores for the following:

Shawshank Redemption

American Beauty

Road to Perdition

Meet Joe Black

The Horse Whisperer

Angels in America (TV Series)

The Cinderella Man

Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Finding Nemo

White Oleander

Six Feet Under (TV Show)

Truly a great talent that writes some beautiful and haunting music.

"Goodfellas" - Eric Clapton and the end of "layla"

- Dr. Zhivago (Lara's Theme)

- Love Story

- Wizard of Oz

- Tommy

- The Kids Are Alright

- Woodstock

- Coal Miner's Daughter

- Rocky Horror Picture Show

Most James BOnd Themes

For your eyes only stands out for me, as does live and let die.

Pink Panther Henry Mancini.

That song in Chasing Amy where Ben affleck runs after the girl in the parking lot outside the hockey game. Beautiful, though I have no idea what it is.

5. My Rifle, My Pony and Me. (sung by Ricky Nelson & Dean Martin in Rio Bravos)

Ahh yes the professionals how could i forget that one, my current ringtone on my mobile

Got a few here but most can't really recall the actual artist.

God Father

Windmills in your mind

Tonight (what it means to be young) - Street Of Fire Inc

To sir with love - Lulu

Star Wars

And the all time favorite TV tunes

Hawaii Five O

Nam Tour Of Duty - Paint it Black

Explorer

Soundtrack inc. theme from "The Edge of Darkness" especially the incidental music during the computer hacking scene. It's the only time I'd actually sat on the edge of a seat watching something.

Also, most of John Carpenters music from his films.

'Edge of Darkness theme was by Clapton.

One I missed off my list ; music from 'Assault on Precinct 13' It's credited as John Carpenter, but all his films music is definately Tangerine Dreamish. In fact when I first heard the music from Precinct 13, I would have bet a grand it was T Dream.

The Last Samurai

Blade 1

The Mission

Platoon

Eyes Wide Shut

Clapton did quite a good theme for "Lethal Weapon 2" (or was it three) - the one that ends with "Knocking on heaven's door": a sort of crazy, hip, eeriness.

Braveheart

Eyes Wide Shut

Terminator 2

Beverly Hills Cop

Knight Rider

Forrest Gump

Star Wars

Schindlers list

ET

Jaws

Predator

Desparado

Exorcist

Usual Suspects

Van Helsing

The Jackal

The Shining

Mission Impossible

Hitchcocks' 'The Birds' had a good soundtrack.

I almost forgot the greatest James Bond theme, Kill Bill tracks,pulf fiction and Wagners from Apocalypse Now

Hitchcocks' 'The Birds' had a good soundtrack.

I remember watching that as a kid scared the sh1t out of me

I've seen it countless times and never realised that it didn't actually have any soundtrack at all.

I only watched parts of his other films to see if I could spot him in the background somewhere. You can usually spot him playing a passerby early on in a film.
