Best Movie Themes of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Star Wars

The most iconic instrumental score of all time

2 Lord of the Rings

Aww, come on! This theme is worth much more! Sure, terminator 2's theme is good, but I still think that this ones got a superb ring to it. Hats off to Howard shore!

I especially like the Shire segment, because it's so relaxing and harks back to a simpler time

3 Indiana Jones

People who like the Superman theme will also like this one

4 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Yo ecstacy of gold will just stun you at the moment you will hear it its just the best theme ever

Thrilling, exciting, intense, distinctive, original Great

5 House of Flying Daggers

"Lovers" is the title of this mystical song of love lost by Shigeru Umebayashi. It was originally performed by Kathleen Battle.

Jackie Evancho's version from her PBS Great Peformances "Dream With Me - In Concert" is compelling. Traditional Chinese instruments: Zheng (zither), Erhu (two-string fiddle), Dizi (bamboo flute), and Japanese Taiko (drums) group, plus full orchestra are incorporated in this great arrangement

And Jackie Evancho's rendition from her Dream With Me CD and Dream With Me In Concert DVD will leave you breathless.. seriously, if you have never seen it, do yourself a favour, just Google "evancho lovers" for a YouTube version.. then go buy her CDs and DVDs.. and go see her in concert.. you'll be glad you did.. she is that good..

6 Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

A staple for any band class

7 Harry Potter

It has a charming magic to it

8 Rocky IV

Though not as well known as 'Gonna Fly Now' from the first movie, Rocky IV's "Burning Heart" is also a fantastic song that gets me motivated.

9 Chariots of Fire
10 James Bond

Holds record for the most frequently recurring movie theme

The Newcomers

? X-Men
The Contenders
11 Jaws

I could listen to this on replay.

12 Superman

The best superhero theme of all time. It has a whimsical sense of wonder, which perfectly matches Superman

Should in top 4

13 Rocky
14 The Dark Knight

It's chilling and exciting. Reminds me of war drums

15 Back to the Future

My very favorite movie... Or, no, it's in my top ten. But the score is my number 3. :D

No other theme makes you want to hum it so much

Come on! Make this #1!

16 The Godfather
17 The Pink Panther

The Pink Panther 1963 film.
