Dances With Wolves most definitelyother contenders:
Cider House Rules; I think this one will have staying power. great theme musicThe Piano; already a classic
Braveheart, no matter what your opinion of Horner, this one will lastBatman and Edward Scissorhands, ditto; instantly recognizable by lay-people
Powder, already vocalized by Sarah Brightman
NP -- Wonderland, Nyman; even better than Gattaca posted 11-29-2000 07:18 PM PT (US) Lou Goldberg

The GodfatherLove Theme from Now Voyager which later became a song
all those themes that became hit songs like Mondo Cane, Laura, Days of Wine and Roses, Never on Sunday, Somewhere My Love, etc. etc.
I always reply to these topics and immediately run out of suggestions (go figure).

Will, No Mission Impossible as that's a T.V. theme and there's a kerzillion memorable T.V. theme's, of which it must be admitted that 'Impossible' along with Hawaii 5'0 has to be among the most memorable of all time!

All in good fun...she was actually hovering over my shoulder as I wrote it!Just wanted some levity, after all these heavy-handed, sphincter ripping debates I've gotten caught up in recently.
BTW...Last of the Mohicans is another memorable theme...it actually got me hooked on moviemusic.
Take it easy...
