Hi Shane & All,
Yep the music for the Star Wars films was superb I thought as others have commented. I think the Apollo sound track was also very good -- as was the music from The Dish.
Another one that comes to mind is the music for Chariots of Fire by Vangelis and of course the theme for The Exorcist by Mike Oldfield and the music for The Killing Fields -- also by Mike Oldfield.
But for mine the most memorable of all was the opening theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Einleitung from Also sprach Zarathustra that went something like:
Daaa DAaaa DAAaaaa Da Daaaa,
Boom, Bom, Boom, Bom, Boom, Bom, Boom, Bom, Boom, Bom, Boom, Bom,Boom, Bom,
Daaa DAaaa DAAaaaa DAA DEEeee,
Da Da Da Da Daaa DAaa DEee Phrum, Phrum, Phrum, Phrum, Phrum,
Da DAa DEee Da DAAaa DEEeeeeeeeeeeee ......
... or something like that anyway.
