Quintus 5,399 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Talking themes specifically and not cues or main titles, I think the Force theme is the very greatest and richest theme JW has ever written.But in terms of a single cue, Superman's opening titles are his crowning achievement.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Window to the Past.It's the most dynamic theme he's ever written. It is melancholy, beautiful, noble, downright miserable, hopeful....all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Star Wars Main Title (Luke's Theme) - specifically in the end credits. 'Love Theme From Superman' is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I love that theme in the End Credits, but it's true and best statement is of course in the opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think the best actual statement is in the end titles reprise (i.e. when it comes back in after Leia's theme, et al.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleo 63 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I voted for Jurassic Park (and I mean both principal themes); I think I like the grail theme from LC and the Star Wars force theme at least as much as the JP themes, however.The Superman theme never really grew on me for some reason...
