Of course there's the Indiana Jones theme, and Superman and Star Trek ... but my personal favorite is David Arnold's gorgeous theme for "Stargate."
How about you?

Well, I'm a bit partial, but I'd have to go with The Imperial March (aka Vader's Theme) from Empire Strikes Back.
I'll think about this some more and have some more ideas.charlestonphan and opfinistic like this. -
Terminator 2 Theme
"Duh-na, na, na-nan-nan"

Gladiator. That haunting Enya number.
and of course...the Dark Knight theme.charlestonphan likes this. -
I also like the 'Gladiator' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' themes. Kill Bill's theme was sweet but its EVERYWHERE now thanks to The Rza from Wu-Tang (created it)

Last of the Mohicans had an amazing score.
Soon my favorite will be, "THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO". When that is finally a movie, it will be my favorite theme.charlestonphan and unluckyluciano like this. -

I'm a bit of a film score geek. I listen to them at work and they help me concentrate. Aside from Star Wars, here's some of my other favorite themes/scores:
Braveheart - Some people criticize James Horner for using the same motifs as Last of the Mohicans. One of my favorite scores of all time.
Gladiator - I'm not usually a big fan of Hans Zimmer's work, but this might be his best work. My second favorite Zimmer work is probably Last Samurai.
Quigley Down Under - Underrated western score from Basil Poledoris for an underrated movie.
Superman - The standard for all comic/superhero movie scores.
Lord of the Rings - It's hard to top this score in it's completeness.
Signs - Minimalist, but helps add to the overall creepiness of the film.
Specific themes or motifs that bear mentioning include:
- The Godfather
- The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly
- March of the Dead from Army of Darkness -
Gladiator, and LotR. I like anything with epic music.

I love the bond theme. When I heard it for the first time in the Quantam of Solace trailer, i got goosebumps.

Anything by John Williams, the master. I'm a major film score buff and no one comes close to John Williams.
-
Star Wars of course. Batman, as in the Tim Burton's film. I think Danny Elfman did the theme. I wasn't expecting TDK to match his but it was pretty close.

I love The Godfather theme, in both Part 1 and 2. Its not much different in Part 2 but in the final scene its kind of slower and more creepy.

But for every Zimmer detractor, there's also the other side:

Colorado Dolfan ...dirty drownin' man?
Can't believe noone has mentioned the score to Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris.
