* [[Henry Mancini (Music)|Henry Mancini]] for his jazz-idiom theme to ''[[The Pink Panther]]'' film series, and for the songs "Moon River" from the Blake Edwards film ''[[Breakfast At
* Nino Rota's theme from ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'' is the quintessential theme of the Mafia.
* [[Flash Gordon (Film)|Flash!]] [[Queen (Music)|AHHH-AHHH!]] Savior of the universe!
