Song is Kavinsky - Nightcall
I’m giving you a night call to tell you how I feel.
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
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.
The overture for Star Trek the motion picture. That’s right. It had an overture.
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.Plup fiction’s intro was captivating.
Terminator 2: Judgment day
To this day, whenever I’m alone in an elevator I drum out the percussion part of the theme: dun-dun dun dun-dun…
There can be only one: Highlander
A series, but The Expanse is hauntingly beautiful.
One I didn’t see mentioned yet: reservoir dogs.
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.
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.
