== ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' ==
Since the series' return to television in 2005, house composer Murray Gold has struck "gold" with numerous original songs and themes that have become almost as popular in fandom as the Ron Grainer/Delia Derbyshire theme music:
* "The Doctor's Theme" - also known as "The Bad Wolf Theme".
Line 25:
* For that matter, ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' gave certain cultures and factions their own distinctive, powerful theme that has made the music of the trilogy as much an identifying mark as anything.
* A list of notable original music for films would be incomplete without adding the works of the legend that is [[Jerry Goldsmith]]. ''[[Patton]]'', [[Total Recall]], [[Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Film)|Star Trek the Motion Picture]], [[The Omen]], ''[[Alien]]'' & ''[[Gremlins]]''. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* [[John Williams]] has conjured up quite a few signature themes: ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[ETE.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', ''[[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Indiana Jones]]'', ''[[Jaws (Film)|Jaws]]'', ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', ''[[Superman]]'', ''[[Harry Potter]]'', ''[[Schindler's List]]'', and ''Home Alone''.
* [[Ennio Morricone]] 's theme from ''[[The Good the Bad And The Ugly]]'' (part of The [[Dollars Trilogy]] which also included [[A FistfulofFistful of Dollars]] & [[For a Few Dollars More]], also scored by Morricone.). Probably ''the'' most recognized song from any Western. He also he made some pretty memorable scores for films such as [[The Mission]], [[Once Upon a Time In America]], [[The Untouchables]], [[Daysof Heaven]], [[Cinema Paradiso]] & Malena.
* [[Elmer Bernstein]] made some pretty memorable tunes too notably for [[The Ten Commandments]], [[The Magnificent Seven]] (another well-recognized Western score), [[The Great Escape]] & [[To Kill a Mockingbird]].
* [[Miklos Rozsa|Miklós Rózsa]] and his impressive works that include ''[[Spellbound]]'', ''[[Quo Vadis]]'', ''[[El Cid (Film)|El Cid]]'', ''[[Ben-Hur]]'', and ''King of Kings''.
