Fight Club-The Dust Brothers opening score was fantastic, as was David Fincher's unique tour of Jack's brain and saliva.

>>'m surprised that no one has mentioned...

'"FLASH! AAHHHHHH!!"
"HE'LL SAVE EVERY ONE OF US!!"<<<

I shoulda remembered that one. seems like the song eventually started off after ming said "i  like to toy with things before total annhiliation"..then the pulse beat came in but I don't remember if they actually were singing the song yet or if it was just the music thumping through as the storms were raging and all those special effects were happening. Opening scene to a movie is hard, theme song on the other hand is a thread. This was a good selection - it doesn't get better than queen.

A memorable ending song to a movie - american werewolf in london

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

Love all movie soundtracks, can't get enough of them.  So this is of course a difficult choice!!

But some of my favourites are the song by Massive Attack from The Jackal [Bruce Willis version] Also I'll second Fight Club.

Snatch isn't too bad either... god I could go on for hours, so I'll leave it at that.

Oh, and fav TV starting song is probably the Angel theme or some funky\funny song from way back when like Hawaii 5O or Knight Rider etc.

To Sir, With Love(shut up...I like the song! don't judge me!)

The Magnificent Seven

Have Gun, Will Travel

Blazing Saddles

Goldfinger(WAAHHH WAH WAAAHHHHH)

Billy Jack

Almost forgot, Onionhead was spot on with the Theme to Garry Shandlings show, the opening theme to Garry's show, the song that they play as we watch the credits! I especially like the part in which he starts to whistle...whistle the theme to Garry Shandling's show!

Yeah me too, Sidney Poitier could play a horse humping car salesman and still give the character dignity. Love that guy! Thanks for the backup on the song, man. It's kinda like going into a biker joint and playing "Mandy" on the jukebox, gonna have to fight your way out, ya know.

Here's another "laundry list." While I don't mind duplicating what someone else has said on this "laundry list," I do have a problem of trying to remember whether the music I liked played over the opening credits, the closing credits, or something in between. But, having said that . . . Here are my favorites.

The Alamo
The Bridge Over the River Kwai
Flash Gordon
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
The Magnificent Seven
Medicine Man
The Pink Panther

It is perhaps surprising, that while I liked the music, for these films, I either have yet to see it, or I disliked it.

As for "To Sir, With Love," one of my favorite films, and one of my favorite performances by Sidney Poitier. Based on the book by E. R. Braithwaite,, while called a novel at www.imdb.com, I remember it more as being his autobiography, even if it is fictionalized to some extent. What was played down in the film, was the racism the writer faced while looking for a job in the U.K. after the war.  As a further note,, not only was the screenplay by James Clavell, the writer, Clavell was also the director.

No problem.  I'm comforatble enough with my masculinity to admit to liking certain movies that might be perceived as (no offense intended, ladies) "chick flicks" or "women's movies."  Some other examples are:

* TERMS OF ENDEARMENT

* WEST SIDE STORY

* ROMEO AND JULIET (the one with Olivia Hussey . . . NOT the piece of crap that came out a few years ago)

* SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS

* PILLOW TALK

(Don't worry, guys.  I also enjoy movies where a lot of stuff explodes).

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
