Good Movie Theme/opening music

Thanks for posting these, Applecruncher. I haven't heard the music from Chinatown since I saw it..but it immediately brought back the moody, dark feeling of the movie. Nicholson sure knew how to grab your attention anytime he was on the screen. All of these are great..including the iconic main theme from The Godfather...​which reminds me that Marlon Brando always grabbed attention on screen as well :)
 
Karen99, Yes, I love the Chinatown theme. French horn (or maybe trumpet...not sure). Dark...moody. Jack Nicholson was cute back then! And don't forget the "She's my sister (smack)...She's my daughter (smack)" scene with Faye Dunaway! :) Then there was Jack's nose injury :eek:mg1: ...that was Roman Polanski with the knife.

That's right! I seem to recall Johnny Carson and others doing skits and standup based on scenes you mentioned. We just let Jack lead us down the path in that film til the big "reveal"...then..:eek:mg::eek:mg::eek:mg: Haha. It was just a riveting film and hmmm..Jack was definitely cute.
 
Karen99, "Chinatown" is on Netflix instant streaming right now. I watched it a couple nights ago. :)

And you're right, the TV shows and comedians had a field day for decades with "She's my sister (smack)...She's my daughter (smack)" although the reality of what she meant was not funny at all.
 
Oh Hollydolly..nobody hipper than Shaft in that trench coat..strutting down the street and Isaac Hayes nailed that movie theme.
Space Odyssey was like the dawn of a new, enlightened era with Hal the computer..an adventure to watch.

Applecruncher...Shirley Bassey tore up the theme to Goldfinger. I saw that movie when I was in high school and promptly went out and bought the sheet music for my piano. My poor parents had to endure me banging that song out for weeks. :miserable::dread:

ohh, I think I might watch that again. I'm overdue for a good dose of Jack Nicholson..remember the "waitress scene" in Five Easy Pieces when he tries to order toast...omg classic Jack!
