What is your all-time favorite Jerry Goldsmith theme?

For me:

Main Title - Theme from Basic Instinct

This never gets old for me. Very simplistic, but so full of emotions: sensual, dangerous, exotic, erotic, obsessive. I love it!

Either Carol Ann's theme, The Edge theme, or First Contact's theme.

His Star Trek main themes are great, but suffer from being played out. Which reminds me of an old thread...

Plenty of those listed above, plus:

Fireworks

The Final Conflict (particularly for the solemn rendition in The Monastery)

Night Crossing

Rudy

Supergirl

How can anyone pick just one?

Star Trek TMP

Patton

First Contact

and Explorers is very personally endearing to me.

Strange... no love for the Omen?

Cripes...what to pick...

Well my favorites are:

Breakheart Pass: Main Theme

China Town: Love Theme

Suite from Mulan

Carol Anne's Theme: Poltergeist

Main Titles: Rudy

Katya's Theme: The Russia House

Flying Dreams Theme: Secret of N.I.M.H.

Main Title Theme: Star Trek: First Contact

Main Title: Wind and the Lion

Soarin'

To pick just one though?

Breakheart Pass is my favorite up tempo theme. It's a shame so few people have this album. For a slower theme I'd have to go with either Rudy or First Contact. Both make me blubber like an idiot every time I hear them.

Somehow a mixture of Superman and Star Wars, Jerry Goldsmith-style! ROTFLMAO

Also 'The Mountain' from Star Trek V. It appears a couple of times so I guess it can be a theme.

The end credit version of Shinzon's Theme from Nemesis is incredible. And the Second Coming theme from The Final Conflict.

I was thinking of The Next Generation... I'm not sure I've heard Voyager before (this is also by JG?). Can't think of the melody, right off the bat.

So playful and fun, while being classier than other kids movie music at the same time. ;)

Yes. I always compare this in my mind with Home Alone... the other great John Hughes score.

I tried listening to the score a few weeks ago, and it made absolutely no impression.
