Bimbling around at work today in a little world of my own (actually, wondering how Pete was getting on dropping the forks out without me around to supervise
) when I suddenly came fully awake, a silly grin on my face and a fluttery, excited feeling in the pit of my stomach. No, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom hadn't just appeared in front of me (DAMMIT)........the Theme to Superman was playing on the radio
I don't know what it is about that music, but as soon as I hear it I get all little-kid-like!
Anyhow, it got me thinking about other movie music that also has a strong effect on me, and my short list, just for starters is.........
The theme to Star Wars.
The theme to Jaws.
The Ride Of The Valkyries..............helicopter attack in Apocalyse Now.
THOSE 5 tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
O Fortuna Chorus..............Arthur and his knights riding into battle in Excalibur.
So what about you? What movie music makes you smile, shiver, cry or just feel like a kid again?
