I like all the music from Ennio Morricone, John Williams and John Barry, but if I have to mention a particular theme, the one that comes to my mind right now is the theme from "Dances with the wolves" (you can hear it when Kevin Costner meets the wolf).

I just thought of another movie that has turned out to be a big influence on my life and career. Don't laugh.
Like most teenagers, I was into rock n' roll music, and I played in the concert band. But I'll never forget that my second year in college I went to see a movie called "Your Cheatin' Heart". It was the life story of Hank Williams, and the songs were sung by Hank Jr. At that time he had to be in his early teens.
Anyway, I sat through the movie twice without moving. The next day I went out and bought my first Country album, the sound track from the movie, and started learning the songs. I had heard them before by Hank Sr., and never paid much attention, but for some reason they hit home this time. While I do lots of other kinds of music, Country/Western is still right up there near the top.
I still watch that movie occasionally when it comes on at 3 a.m.

Who can not forget the theme from ROCKY .
How about Close Encounters ? Or ROcky Horror Picture show ? dano

"Mission Impossible" is my favourite !!

O.k., now you'll all know how sappy my tastes can run!! I actually like the score from Titanic. Oh, the main them is good, but I like all the other parts of the score woven throughout the movie. I found it, well, very moving.
It's not my favorite of all time, just very likeable. Fact is, there are so many different movie and/or musical songs that I love, that it's hard to pick any absolute favorite.
