Well, I was asking for songs without lyrics... but... ok, if you want to do some with lyrics... ok... not a problem.
Oops sorry, you said "I am looking for well-known and non-singing themes..." Next time put "I am looking for well-known, non-singing themes."
^ damn you, conjunction junction. Nice one, sir. I'm still crying over Enya's Braveheart. Leave me alone, co-workers... I locked my door for something... I also found "Mission Impossible" theme song... the one U2 made.
Braveheart was good...as was last of the mohicans. I have a computer full of some of this stuff, haha.
I think the OP is looking for movie scores rather than soundtracks. Look up the following composers: Ennio Morricone (Eastwood spaghetti westerns) Henry Mancini (a million soundtracks, including Pink Panther and Midnight Cowboy) Bernard Herrmann (Hitchcock films) John Barry (Bond theme)
Blade Runner playing right now on HDMOV channel (U-Verse Channel 1106) . DVR'ing it... since both Rockets and Mexico are playing...
You'll think I am crazy, but I would HIGHLY recommend the soundtrack to The Lost Boys. ****ty movie, best soundtrack I have ever heard.
