Great movie theme music

Okay, I'm a huge fan of movie music. I must have...I don't know...at least a dozen orchestral soundtracks on my iTunes at work.

Just bought this the other day - the great Elmer Bernstein, one of the great themes...

Another of my favorites. Great work by E. Bernstein.

Not to be confused with Leonard, who wrote this:

I prefer Alfred Newman...

His "How Green Was My Valley" was also spectacular...

and "All About Eve"

One of the first to come to mind. That whole soundtrack was great.

My choices are:

And how could I forget . . . for my twocents, the greatest pairing of song to scene.

I always get chills listening to it.

This is as much about movies as music. If you don't have anything constructive to add, wave

Probably the greatest film ever - and the score by Bernard Herrmann wasn't too shabby, either...
