The "whistling march" from The Bridge on the River Kwai? Not that many people could name the movie, but I bet most could whistle along.
I was driving home earlier today and I flipped through and caught XM's Cinemagic station.
They were playing the Star Wars theme by John Williams and I started wondering how many people who immediately know that song when they hear it.
What do you think is the most well-known movie song/score?

You must remember this . . .
The whistling theme from Bridge on the River Kwai
The heeeeeeels are aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!
Tubular Bells from the Exorcist
Some-wherrrrre over the rainbow
Damn, 1369 thought of that one, too!
The Superman theme is a pretty recognizable tune.
That was one of my other thoughts.
How about the theme from "Chariots Of Fire"?
My Heart Will Go On!
I would say the theme song from Rocky (the first one) and 2001: A Space Odossey (sp?) are pretty well recognized.
Forrest Gump!
I would think thet the theme from "M*A*S*H" would be pretty recognizable, but only from the TV instrumental.

ennio morricone has some stuff everyone knows, but i would probably put my money on some gershwin compositions - variations if it are everywhere.
As much as I hate to say it, Celine Dion's song from anic is up there at the top.
Good point about Morricone. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is up there easy.
Ohhhhh, and of course The Magnificent Seven.

Who's the black private that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
Pink Panther theme.
"Shoog!"Who's the black private that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
"Dammmn right."
I'm not black.

The summer of 2007 is going to bring with it the greatest movie of all time and thus bring the most recognizable theme song.......or at least the most recognizable first five seconds of a theme song........ladies and gentlemen, I give you...........The Simpsons..........Don't try to deny that the opening to the show didn't just play in your head either.
That song just went on and on and on and on and on
Well, if we're going to include TV . . . a list of TV songs would kick the ass of movie songs. Not because they're better music, but they're much more recognizable.
Gilligan's Island, The Flinstones, Mission: Impossible, etc.
