Heck, I'd go for Darth Vader's theme!
You have freepmail.
You stop that right now, or I will sing "Honey" until your ears bleed, which - given my voice and the song selection - should be about 8 seconds.
Uh, if 'The Sound of Music' is in the top ten, then doesn't that make THREE from the movie??? DUH. One of my favorite movies, BTW.
Did 'Wind Beneath My Wings' make it on the list? If not, it should.

A couple of my favorites:
"Breaking the Sound Barrier," from The Right Stuff. It gave a real sense of the sky being a cathedral.
The ending score from Backdraft. The main character is much saddened; he has lost a great deal that is important to him; but he is continuing mission, and the music soars to a triumphant conclusion honoring all firefighters.
"(I wonder if I'm the only woman ever to have uttered that sentence.)"
No, you're not. I've seen it several times with my husband. It's great!
LOL!!! Oh my gosh, that's great! My husband says that line all the time. And I thought HE was the only one who did that. Thanks, Xenalyte. I needed that.

You are special. :-)
Dr. Zhivago and Lara's Theme didn't make it but some of the other junk did!
If you really liked the Wizard of Oz, then when you got the DVD and looked at the cut stuff, you found a second singing of Over the Rainbow.
Dorothy was captured in the Witch's castle, in the room with the big crystal ball, and had one hour to live. She sang a fearful, teary version of a kid that knew she was going to die. If they would have left that song in, I'd be GWTW would have had a run for the oscar that year.
But it was dropped because the movie was too long. The footage is lost, never to be seen again. A recording of her singing it is all that is left.
It is great!

What about the sinister background music from the Clinton Chronicles?
Any movie song written by Henry Mancini belongs on the list.
What kind of special? Exceptional special, or short-bus special?
Cool, we play most of these schmaltzy classics regularly.
I love the song, "Over the Rainbow". It brings back memories of watching the Wizard of Oz, every year, growing up.
I would add to the list, "It's A Wonderful World" and "One For My Baby" (It's quarter 'til 3, there's noone in the place...except you and me)....
