The Fahrenheit 9/11 Theme by Jeff Gibbs. Anyone agree? Maybe I just associate it with the film..

The HALLOWEEN theme song by John Carpenter still sends chills up my spine when I hear it.

I LOVE The Godfather Theme. It's my favorite music from a non-musical movie that wasn't written by John Williams!

Tubular Bells.

It's my ring tone on my cell phone.

It freaks people out when it goes off.

"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears." CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre" "I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is." TOM STOPPARD

I would have to say John Carpenter's theme for HALLOWEEN. But I love lots of film music. Most films today have mediocre to no main title themes, even though they may have nice scores, overall. Some other favorite main title themes are:

SUPERMAN - John Williams
HAWAII - Elmer Bernstein
THE OMEN - Jerry Goldsmith
NORTH BY NORTHWEST - Bernard Herrmann
GONE WITH THE WIND - Max Steiner
A PATCH OF BLUE - Jerry Goldsmith
THE TAMARIND SEED - John Barry
THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT - Elmer Bernstein

just to name a few.

I hated THE SHINING; but will agree that it had a pretty good main title theme.
