The theme music to Peter Gunn. (Emerson Lake and Palmer did a cover of it twenty years later, incidently)

Or the theme music to Perry Mason.

WOW, you just made me have something akin to an acid flashback with that one lol!

Anything by John Williams.

We agree.

I think the beginning score in JAWS, by John Williams sets off this movie better than any other theme song for any movie.

Next would be the theme music he wrote for Star Wars.

then there is also Close encounters and Raiders of the lost ark...

the man is a genius score/theme song writer....

I never watched Law and Order when it first aired, but now I am addicted to the reruns:
