Great TV/Movie Themes

I've been listening to Synecdoche New York and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind OST by Jon Brion alot lately. Beautiful soundtracks. Then I remembered the theme melody from The Conversation, which is absolutely lovely as well, and if I remember correctly someone from WATMM recommended me this movie - thanks to whoever did that.

So I was wondering, what theme melodies you guys love?

Nailed it. I really like the theme from Fire Walk With Me as well. It's a bit darker but also more chilled...

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I'm always sad to hear it end.

This seems like a good enough thread in which to ask. Francois de Roubaix has been one of my favourite musical finds of the past few years, are there any other composers/bands I might enjoy?

Selection of tracks from L'Homme Orchestre. Good film, excellent soundtrack.

Kid's show Chapi Chapo. Just listen to the bit that comes in at around 00:15. There's more to this if you find some of his collections. If you google hard enough there's a blog post with an almost complete discog.

i happened to catch this flick on tv one night and heard this track and was all "holy shit i need to find the soundtrack", then i fell asleep and never bothered to look up the name of the movie. about a year later i found it by accident on youtube. love it.

this one is one of my favourite scores ever, too bad this was the best video i could find.

Best part is easily when he's walking down the corridor, and finally at :37 when he throws the doors open!

I'm not sure why, but the theme music by Georges Delerue for Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt is the most beautiful movie music that I've ever heard.
