13 movies in which their opening credits music / themes became, or was already, popular, although not perhaps hits in the general sense of the word. No musicals.
01. Laura - The "Laura" theme was written by David Raksin and has become a jazz classic. 02. CAPTAIN CAREY, USA - "Mona Lisa" won the 1950 Oscar for Best Song (sung over the opening credits by Nat 'King' Cole) 03. The Great Escape - The theme march became a virtual anthem for the England International soccer team. 04. The Sting - Scott Joplin became cool again 05. The Dambusters - Written by Eric Coates, the march could be heard everywhere in the UK at the time of release. 06. The High and the Mighty - Dimitri Tiomkin's theme was a big hit in 1954 07. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Mancini's "Moon River" 08. Mayerling (1968) - Khachaturian's "Adagio from Spartacus" 09. Genevieve - The theme was composed and performed by the harmonica player Larry Adler, and although by no means a hit, became popular enough to revive the interest in the harmonica, at least in the UK. 10. Pulp Fiction - resurrected Dick Dale's "Miserlou" 11. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - The film's theme song, "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", by Bryan Adams, was Oscar nominated and won a Grammy Award. Also (I believe) reached #1 in the charts. 12. Love in the Afternoon - resurrected the old waltz "Fascination" 13. Davy Crocket: King of the Wild Frontier - The theme song "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" was a universal hit.
