Everyone has one, but some are afraid to admit it.
Tonight, I realized mine was Raiders Of The Lost Ark....as I was impatiently zooming around slower traffic on the Parkway and whistling the tune.
It wasn't playing on Cinemagic...it just got stuck in my head.....like all John Williams tunes.
Speaking of Raiders....what the fuck is with Karen Allen's eyes? Their shiny-hubcap appearance used to be endearing, but now that she looks like Cryptkeeper's mom, it's downright unsettling.

That was my choice. I'll add "Star Wars".

Modern is of course "Saving Private Ryan"
But I guess my favorite is "Fiddler on the Roof"

I love Raiders, and I also love the Throne Room finale of Star Wars. However, John Ottman's interpretation of Williams' Superman theme is fucking tremendous.

I'd just rather listen to Holst's "Planets" suite, where he steals all his musical ideas from.

I have so many fave themes.
When Luke is watching the twin sunset.... perfect scoring. The cue that is heard immediately after Ben is stuck down by Darth (when Luke goes haywire) is equally as good but, obviously in a different way.
The JURASSIC PARK theme is just fantastic. Very majestic.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS has 3 or 4 cues that I think are simply brilliant.
Honorable mention:
The spacefunk from the SW Cantina scene.
I could f'ing LIVE in this thread.
