Your top favorite movie theme songs

Thread Starter 
Could be the movie's theme, a character's theme, or a group's theme. Whether it's real subtle or extremely overbearing/bombasitc, list it here.

1: Concerning Hobbits (from LOTR)

2: The Man With A Harmonica (from Once Upon a Time in the West)

3: Indiana Jones

4: James Bond

5: North by Northwest

6: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

7: One Summer Day (from Spirited Away)

8: Psycho

9: Imperial March (from Empire)

10: Lara's Theme (from Dr. Zhivago)

I know, my list is filled with "safe" choices. These are really just the ones that get stuck in my head from time to time.

(Edited to point out my screw up in making the thread "Top Favorite," could I be any more redundant?)

no particular order here, just off the top of my head,

"burn" by NIN from Natural Born Killers

"nobody does it better" from The Spy Who Loved Me

"Live and Let Die" from you can guess

"the French Mistake" Blazing Saddles (not a theme song, i know)

"bang bang" Nancy Sinatra from Kill Bill Vol 1

the Imperial March from ESB (I used to listen to it when I worked out, yes I know its sad)

I tend to go for the bigger themes, although you can't overlook the classics:

James Bond (Dr. No)
Indiana Jones
Back to the Future
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Shaft
Star Wars/Imperial March

Suite from X2
Hummell Gets the Rockets (The Rock)
Gladiator Waltz
the opening cue from The Bridge of Khazad-dum (FOTR)
the cue about 14 minutes into 1SQ (Crimson Tide)

These are songs, not score bits, but here's my list:

1. Science Fiction Double Feature (Rocky Horror)
2. East Bound and Down (Smokey and the Bandit)
3. Theme from Shaft's Big Score (much better than Theme From Shaft)

Damn! theres me thinkng you have missed of the Robocop Themetune and some1 gets it in there

The opening Music to Day of the Dead is pretty cool, UK Band the Gorillaz had a track on there first album, sampling it, with the "Hello, Hello" included, they eventually start playing the theme themselves on guitars and it finally kicks off into something else..

Bladerunner Theme

Great Escape!

of course Doctor Who
