FAVOURITE FILM THEMES.

Post by mariana44 » Thu Jul 09, 2009 2:39 pm

I am combining Robert and Jon's last games, to make a New Game of Film Movie Themes-I am pretty sure we have not had this subject yet.

So this is just Theme music from a Drama, Comedy , Romance or whatever---but NOT from a Musical.

Any additional information you have as to who sang it, or played it--in the film--NOT a cover version, or if you know who wrote the song--all will be welcomed. The song title can be the same as the film or completely different--

I shall start with the film that gave me the idea--

"AS TIME GOES BY" FROM "CASABLANCA" as sung by Dooley Wilson---so says my 45" that I bought.

BRIGHT EYES (from Watership Down) by Art Garfunkel (one of the very first single's I ever bought) I think in about 1978. :D

Great film and beautiful song

"THE WAY WE WERE" sung by Barbra Streisand, written by Marilyn and Alan Bergman, an unbeatable combination.
From film of same name.
