Ive been ruminating (www.thefreedictionary.com/ruminating) on this and cant think of one from the last 15 years. The situation is similar with television. Why have we as a people seemed to have lost the ability to write memorable theme tunes? it troubles me.

That was immediately rapped over by Nas.
Which is really a play on the Enter the Dragon theme.

I love Holmes' work in all of his movies, include the Ocean's joints. But do the Ocean's movies have a theme? I've seen all of them, but years apart, so I'm having trouble connecting them. Do they have a theme in common, like James Bond, or does each film have a main theme, like Enter the Dragon? I'm seriously asking as I don't know. Dope scores, yes. Dope themes? Don't know.
Not to mention the Gay love scene has some sleazy funk grooves.
Hm, good point. Thinking more about it, Holmes riffs variations throughout each album, so there's a consistently memorable feel. None of the albums have a designated title theme, per se.
yeah, he does have a definite style and feel, I agree. And it kicks ass, IMO.
I also dig alot of Thomas Newman (off the top of my head) - american beauty, pay it forward, meet joe black (and in tv) boston public & six feet under. Has a pretty unique percussive style.
Yann Tiersen's work is also really good.
saying. I gotta go with The Simpsons Movie (2007).
Cosign on Yann. I have a few soundtracks from him and a lot are pretty good. I also dig Ennio Morricone but I don't know if he's scored anything recently.
As was their use of Mancini's "Lujon."
I remember loving his Out of Sight soundtrack.
taking this in another direction, i thought the Twin Peaks theme was very effective...
