What is the most iconic song from movies? Mainly an instrumental song. Mine is...

That movie felt like it lasted 2001 years. Most boring movie ever. I respect that it was amazing in its time, but as far as I'm concerned it really didn't stand the test of time. Maybe my expectation were too high, since everyone and their dog regards it as one of the best movies ever, which also makes it one of the most overrated movies ever. Wouldn't recommend it except to mess with someone I don't like. The soundtrack was awesome though.

Sure, judging a 54 year old movie by criteria applied to 2022 movies (or even 2021 ones) is bound to lead to a somewhat negative verdict. That certainly doesn't mean that modern movies are "better". They are just different. If you don't know the language of modern movies, they are boring as h**^*. It is a matter of understanding the language. You may suspect that I am bored by a lot of modern movies. You may very well be right.

The great tragedy of Ennio Morricone (and he agreed) is that he turned down doing the score for 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'. Bummer!
Haven't seen that one, guess it's on my list now.

It's not even that I don't like old movies. I like plenty of old movies, older than A Space Odyssey even, just not A Space Odyssey. Recently, I watched Metropolis, a 1927(!) movie. Sure, it looks dated, it's a silent black and white movie even, yet it had more story, more movement, some great stills, and Moloch ( :laugh:)... I feel as though A Space Odyssey is mostly appreciated for it's Windows 95 screensaver special effects which were probably great at the time, but can't convince a younger audience. The intro with the black stones and the apes is just booooring, goes on for like ten minutes without anything happening, except some apes sitting near a stone. Maybe I'd like it more if I watched it now (watched it some ten years ago), but I feel as though I've wasted enough of my life on that movie :laugh:

Yes, it is a bit odd. But when those sounds come out of it, I don't care if it looks like a teletubby.

Duelling Banjos. Just the first bar brings to mind all the horrors the movie brought us and all the [albeit incorrect and damaging] cultural images of Appalachia.

I'm trying to think which one it is you're talking about. The music from The Motion Picture (the first Trek movie) became the theme for TNG, so it's the other way around. Which movie got the Star Trek TV series theme? I'm assuming by Star Trek TV series, you mean the original one.

This one, obviously[^] ;) Composed in 1933 by some Alfred Newman, yet everyone today knows it.

As I was reading down this thread, I was, "Yeah, that's it", "No, that one's better", "Oh no, I didn't think of that one" ... I can't believe how much clutter I have in my brain. Anyhow, I have to go with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Haunting. I just hope I forget it before I go to bed tonight or it will be ringing in my mind all night.
