The End Of Movie Theme Songs? - Blu-ray Forum

Carlsberg19 · 03-05-2009, 06:20 PM

I just realized, not since Titanic (1997) and "My Heart Will Go On" was their any more theme songs accompanying films? Now their just seems to be scores but no theme songs with movie releases, i wonder why this is? Also i think with The Dark Knights score we could be seeing more "mood themed" soundtracks..like for the opening scene in The Dark Knight their was just this one note continuous sound, and it showed its head every now and then throughout the film, it suited it very well.

Plenty of movies have them. I think "Duel of the Fates" was the theme for SW: The Phantom Menace.

"Only Solutions" from Journey in the end credits for TRON!!!

Sorry. I know this thread wasn't asking for "favorites" but I just wanted an excuse to type T-R-O-N during the course of my workday. (And it's a cool song.)

Wild Wild West in 1999. I guess it was cool at the time.

Otherwise maybe it's just that we haven't noticed movie "theme songs", Eminem's "Lose Yourself" pretty much encompassed his characters story and I'm sure there are others that directly reference plot points in the movie.

All the Bonds have theme songs, too.

He got older and fatter...

I prefere "Ride Like The Wind" myself, or to quote from wikipedia:
Christopher has just finished recording a new acoustic album of his hits titled "The Cafe Carlyle Sessions". He is also working on a new studio album that is expected to be released in the spring of 2009. Today, he does about 100 live performances a year.
