What’s the most recognisable film music score?

[PragueBlue]

Surely everyone knows The Great Escape.

I would most likely recognise it if I heard it but couldn't hum it off the top of my head. Only seen it once or twice but I wouldn't say its theme music is as iconic as Jaws or Bond.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Rocky

This, Chariots of Fire and "who you gonna call, Ghostbusters"

 

[davyhulme blue]

West side story & the sting

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Gone With The Wind
{hope that's not an unfortunate reference in the circumstances, MES.)

Whistle down the wind!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Most musicals, probably. Most on here are remembering songs in films, rather than the whole score.

Pyscho or any of the Hitchcock/Herrmann collaborations .

Just go to any match with about 3 left in the season where one side is struggling but successfully. Try Wham this season.
It is a tradition in our house, whenever that film is on, to turn up the volume massively just as the song starts. No, me neither. A reminder of our good old days?
Yea, 40 points, put the Great Escape on!

The Third Man.

Chariots (already mentioned) by Vangelis would be my choice. The classiest soundtrack is West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

 

[BimboBob]

Zulu.
