Mission Impossible, and like 90% of the James Bond films. What can I say? I have a type.
Goldfinger
Goldmember
Tearjerker
My pick is Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss will forever be one of cinema’s greatest opening themes. And combined with the opening credits of the movie with the sun rising slowly over the Earth was absolutely groundbreaking and legendary. It is truly one of the greatest opening credits sequences of all time.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
One of the best movies intros I’ve ever seen. Too bad the rest of the movie sucked.
My God, I have not been more bored watching an action movie. I actually turned it off because it was putting me to sleep and I just thought the whole thing was dumb.
And I like marvel movies.
Same here. Except I know I like Marvel movies because of Tony Stark and Dr Strange.
I could list a bunch of movies but it’s easier to say anything scored by John Williams. Superman, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws. I never caught Close Encounters of the Third Kind but I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s good just on faith.
He scored some other things, but that’s what I remember off the top of my head.
Hans Zimmer too. Not quite the same legendary status as our John, but still quite the impressive record.
Drive
Song is Kavinsky - Nightcall
I’m giving you a night call to tell you how I feel.
Plup fiction’s intro was captivating.
And the beginning being the ending…chef’s kiss.
Terminator 2: Judgment day
deleted by creator
To this day, whenever I’m alone in an elevator I drum out the percussion part of the theme: dun-dun dun dun-dun…
Perhaps a bit on the campy side, the opening theme song of the original Highlander was always one of my favorites:
Princes of the Universe by Queen.I just saw Deadpool Wolverine last week, and must say Bye Bye Bye aged pretty well 😎
Hunt for the Red October
My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target… Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.
I believe it’s “warlord.”
Thanks but i prefer it my way
The overture for Star Trek the motion picture. That’s right. It had an overture.
- The Italian Job (1969)
- The Magnificent Seven (1960)
- Ennio Morricone’s music for the Man With No Name series
Not a movie but the Raised By Wolves opening theme song is pretty epic.
Star Wars episode 4 - A New Hope
