One I didn’t see mentioned yet: reservoir dogs.
All of these are good answers, but the movie with the best opening theme is obviously Alan Partridge - Alpha Papa.
There’s no fog!
Perhaps a bit on the campy side, the opening theme song of the original Highlander was always one of my favorites:
Princes of the Universe by Queen.The overture for Star Trek the motion picture. That’s right. It had an overture.
My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target… Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.
I believe it’s “warlord.”
Thanks but i prefer it my way
Stargate
There can be only one: Highlander
The Stand (1994, does this count since it’s a mini series?) Badass the whole way
A series, but The Expanse is hauntingly beautiful.
I just saw Deadpool Wolverine last week, and must say Bye Bye Bye aged pretty well 😎
Star Wars episode 4 - A New Hope
Hunt for the Red October
I could list a bunch of movies but it’s easier to say anything scored by John Williams. Superman, Star Wars, Raiders of the Last Ark, Jaws. I never caught Close Encounters of the Third Kind but I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s good just on faith.
He scored some other things, but that’s what I remember off the top of my head.
Hans Zimmer too. Not quite the same legendary status as our John, but still quite the impressive record.
- The Italian Job (1969)
- The Magnificent Seven (1960)
- Ennio Morricone’s music for the Man With No Name series
