ecksmanfan Lists the Top 25 Movie Themes
ecksmanfan takes a look at the Top 25 Movie Themes. Some you'd expect and a few that you may not. Take a look!
As some of you may or may not know, I am the writer of a film blog (check out the link at the bottom of the article) and I like to mix things up with some Top 25 lists and this time around, I will be looking the music that oft times is one of the most memorable parts of the film. In doing my research for this article, I kept coming scross the same songs over and over, which isn't a bad thing, as those songs are very good and very well known. Now, you will see some of those songs on this list but I have included some songs that you typically won't find on the usual lists. Just for clarification, this list includes "Theme" songs from movies, not songs from the sound track, which may be another list to come. All that being said, on to the list.

Needless to say, John Williams has marked his spot as the premier musical score writer. He has created some of the most iconic movie themes of all time, some of which I did not include in the list, just for the sake of adding something different.I have added a few modern films as well as a good mix. Hope you like it and feel free to comment!
