Anaheim Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 The "Towering Inferno" 1976 movie starring Paul Newman and Steve Mcqueen has a theme song "We May Never Love like this Again" which sets the ambience of a looming disaster, that song was a big hit in the 70s and established the vibrant but short career of singer Maureen Mcgovern. Another disaster film of the 1970s "The Poseidon Adventure" has a theme song "Morning After" which inevitably sets the pitch of impending doom of the ship Poseidon. Melodic songs from the late 60s "The Graduate" (1968) such as Mrs. Robinson, Sounds of Silence echoes youthful reluctant times. The recently Oscar winner for Best Song "Into the West" by Annie Lennox from Lord of the Rings : Return of the King sets the tone of a culminating/exhausting finale that took place in Middle Earth. Come to think of it, most popular songs that you sang at home/karaoke joints were movie theme songs. So what's your favorite movie theme songs? and from what movie? I'll start (here's one of my personal favorite) "Gonna Fly Now"from the movie ROCKY1976 :cool: Quote Link to comment
