My moving picture theme songs

Top of the list: Cinema Paradiso.

Then “It might be you” (Remember Tootsie?).

Against all odds (Collin’s ” take a look at me now”).

Then Top Gun.

Then Ghost (The tears say it all).

Pretty Woman (Rodeo Dr shopping).

Gloomy Sunday (kind of eerie)

Good Morning Vietnam (What a wonderful world).

Road House.

And let’s not forget the classics: Woodstock, Dr Zhivago, The Time for us (Romeo and Juliet).

The Net (the whiter shade of pale).

And most heart-breaking of all, the theme from Exodus, that was the sound track for 1968 Tet Offensive.

OK, the Bee Gee in Saturday Night live. And Olivia Newton John in Xanadu.

Theme from Mahogany. “Do you know, where you’re going to” when I felt uncertain which path to take.

I will leave you with “Candle in the wind” and the universality of Princess Diana’ s parting memories, performed by Elton John.

So fragile, elegant yet timeless. Just stop short of angelic and eternal in gracefulness. You want permanence, go buy plastic flowers.
