Favorite Movie Soundtrack Theme?

[Peerless]

It seems that every movie has that one song that plays over and over throughout the movie.

Some can be intense, sad, or motivational.

I recently just watched one of my all time favorite movies "October Sky", and when I heard the main theme, I just had to find it online and download it.


If you've never heard of it, here it is:

It's a very beautiful piece of music made by Mark Isham. Listening to it, brought me back to my final concert in band as we seniors *including the string players* played this song as our "senior sendoff".

Being a percussionist, I got the joy to stand in back of the band and take in the moment while playing nothing.

Sappy I know... but it was amazing. :clap:

But what is your favorite movie soundtrack theme/song?

Hell it doesn't even have to be a movie... TV show, commercial song, etc.

Hope to see some good theme songs!

Just talking songs with singing, not orchestral soundtracks...

60s: The Graduate

70s: Grease

80s: Xanadu

90s: Pulp Fiction

2000s: Donnie Darko (pretty much just because of "Mad World" played at the very end; poignant moment)
