TV and Movie Musical Themes
so whats your favourite musical Themes (seems a little churlish to call them tunes to me) for TV and film
I'm a big fan of The Sopranos theme "Woke up this morning" by Alabama and can't go past Morricone's theme for "The Good The Bad and the Ugly" for film but I've got tons of favourites... We used to have a crack at some of these when we had a group of mates who all owned synthesizers....we would entertain our friends with "theme nights" years back......just us "the synthesised Orchestra" doing our interpretaion of these on our synths live with projections of our favourite clips on a big screen in the background...was a bit of a hit for a while up to 200 people were attending before we got bored with it some of the ones we covered included Dr Who (of course), I Spy, Get Smart, Mission Impossible, Wild Thing + I'm your pusher (from Easy Rider), Bond Themes etc how about yours???

I like the Theme Song from The Saint, many versions, Roger Moore and also the one from the Movie with Val Kilmer.
Also David Foster's St. Elmo's Fire. Aaah and the Top Gun Anthem !!!

it is not a theme song
but i think the music they play in Entourage during the course of the show just fits so well with the show and i loved that quirky soundtrack for Juno!!

I like movie music very much. One of my favorite excerpts come from the movie "Legends of the Fall" during a scene when Brad Pitt comes come after a long time with a bunch of horses.
Some other favorite movies themes for me come from the movies: - Dances with wolves - Lord of the Rings - The Godfather - Da Vince Code Most of the nicest music parts in movies come when the final titles roll over the screen.

Dallas Theme song always reminds me of the times when I was a good boy, joining the family on the sofa and watch JR's dirty games ;-)
I was always thinking, would I shag Sue Ellen or Pamela? ...always wanted to share a drink with Sue Ellen though;-)

Coolest guy on TV ever, I don't care what anyone says. Just so happens his theme is awesome too!  I used to like the A-Team theme too (maybe I have a thing for 80's cheesiness) but at a tradeshow a few years back that I was working at I got stuck in a booth next to a vendor who was for some unknown reason playing the A-Team themesong on a loop... for 10 hours a day... 4 days in a row. Needless to say after that I was not so much a fan! Edit: Oh and my childhood favorite: YouTube - David the Gnome

Back to childhood, my brother used to sh!t himself when the theme music started and run out the room at the start of the original Doctor Who.
Doesn't get much better than "Aqua Marina" the end credits to Stingray though>>> YouTube - Tv Theme Stingray End Credits (Aqua Marina)
