Default Favorite Movie Theme Music

OK, after seeing the "Favorite Disney Song(s)" and "Favorite TV Theme" threads, I decided to make this one:

What is your favorite movie theme music/song? Here are my three:
  • Star Trek: First Contact-- The opening and closing theme from ST:FC was great. it was very soft and gentle, which made a fantastic contrast against the movie's opening.
  • The Ant Bully: The opening and closing theme her is abso-frickin'-lutely GORGEOUS. It starts off with simple drums and then adds a woodwind piece and tops it all off with the full orchestra. I actually find it rather soothing to listen to-- last Sunday, I was listening to it at my part time job, SubWay, on my iPod after it had gotten INSANELY busy and it just made me calm down after getting all flustered about the huge crowd. (Big lines at work tend to freak me out a bit because I'm so paranoid about screwing something up.) I almost cried, honestly. In fact, all of the music in The Ant Bully is beautiful. Kudos to John Debney! OK, back on topic.
  • Pirates of the Carribbean: This is a fun, mysterious great theme that I love to listen to.

Anyone else willing to share?

Hmmmm.... Probably too many to think of, much less mention. But I shall scour through my entertainment stand at the movies I own anyway-

The Last Unicorn
Lord of the Rings
<--AWESOME soundtrack!
Pirates of the Caribbean
A Secret Garden
-1993 version
A Little Princess -1995 version
Titanic
Secret of Nimh
Ever After
Princess Diaries I
An American Tail
Peter Pan
-Live action version
Chronicles of Narnia
The Princess Bride

And pretty much any of the "older" Disney animated movies, let's just leave it at that.

The Back to the Future theme would be somewhere at the top of my list. I love that catchy piece of orchestration so much that I've had it as my mobile ringtone for years, and I have no plans of retiring it for now.

Then of course there's Carter Burwell's score for the Hudsucker Proxy, which is wonderful, particularly that lovely little track at the beginning known as "Norville's Suite". He also put together a great little theme for Adaptation, which for some reason always makes me think of marching ants. Then there's that beautifully chilling one he composed for Being John Malkovich - it's always a treat whenever he gets together with Charlie Kaufman or the Coens.

What else is there? The Untouchables (GREAT end-credits music), Watership Down, Ratatouille, Brazil, Birdy (Peter Gabriel - nuff said), Donnie Darko, When the Wind Blows...the list goes on and on, though I think I've covered most of my main favourites.

Man, no love for The Incredibles by Giacchino? Or Superman by Williams. I wish this thread was to best scores overall. I could really give my opinion on many of the pieces I've come to enjoy.
