Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
Duh! That music is so good! Howard Shore created a masterpiece when he wrote that music. The shire theme always just makes me feel at home. :)
Doctor Who
Because Doctor Who! What else matters? ;) I love the theme music, the tenth and eleventh doctor's themes and all of the companions themes but especially Clara's.
Jurassic Park
I could listen to it's theme music all day long! I can't get enough of it. :)
Indian Jones
So much fun! So much action! So much Harrison Ford! ;)
Star Wars
John Williams' greatest masterpiece. :)
Harry Potter
I really feel John Williams' music really captures the magic (no pun intended) of the books. :)
Leverage
Because Leverage! And once again... what else matters? ;) Such a fun theme. :)
Pride and Prejudice (1995)
I grew up with this movie and I grew up with that music. The opening sequence with the lady embroidering and the music playing was a favorite. :)
Little Dorrit (2008)
I think when trying to get me to watch this miniseries my cousins raved just as much about the music as the actual show. Now I know why. :)
Lorna Doone
A magnificent soundtrack. The "love theme" is one of my favorite musical pieces ever! It actually makes me emotional... which you all know doesn't really happen to me often. It's at 7:37 in this video and you should definitely listen to it. :)
So I reached ten and realized there are so many more I want to include!!!!
So honorable mentions!
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- North and South (2004)
- Wives and Daughters
- The Scarlet Pimpernel
- The Chronicles of Narnia (LWW) (2005)
- Gods and Generals
- The Sea Hawk
- Robin Hood (1938)
- Charade
I love listening to soundtracks from movies and TV shows. :)
I do love LOTR, Little Dorrit and Harry Potter theme songs. Nice post! I am stealing it :D.
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome! :)
DeleteI'd add the MacGyver theme to this list. :) Theme music is so fun, and I love how it brings to mind exactly what's it from when you hear it.
ReplyDeleteBecca and I tagged you for an award, if you'd like to do it. No pressure. :) http://cleverbunnies.blogspot.com/2015/06/sisterhood-blogger-award.html
I haven't seen MacGyver yet. :( I've heard it's tons of fun though. I'll be looking up the music. :)
DeleteThanks for nominating me. :)
I agree totally about the P&P opening titles - I love watching that embrodiery and the music is so great. One I never think of fast-forwarding past...
ReplyDeleteExactly! There is no fast forward through such greatness! :)
DeleteGreat answers!!!!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Olivia. :)
DeleteI was really surprised that Monk AND Psych were missing from this list?!
ReplyDeleteNever seen MacGyver?? You probably haven't really lived until you've seen MacGyver. :-D You can probably add him to the list of characters I'm a little bit like, I think (been awhile since I've seen it). Inventing/rigging-up stuff. :^)
Ah! Monk and Psych! My memory is horrible! The saddest thing is I had to go look up the Monk theme song because I'd forgotten it! I need to watch some Monk sometime VERY soon! :)
