Today's Movie Music and More features one of my absolute favorite main themes of all-time, Danny Elfman's theme from the original Spider-Man trilogy. As soon as the theme starts up, it makes you feel as though you are swinging through the city just like Spider-Man himself. Of all superhero themes, this is my favorite with John Williams' Superman theme not too far behind. While some may prefer Elfman's scores from Tim Burton's films, this is easily my favorite of his work, and it is one of my all-time favorites. Elfman brilliantly draws in the listener with a slow and enticing start before the heavier instruments start to play coming together to create my favorite theme for any hero since Indiana Jones. Please check back tomorrow for an announcement about my profile name change and Wednesday for a big announcement that will change the blog. After Wednesday, I will go back to my regularly scheduled posts with the final part of the Top 10 Comedies and my Year in Review post.

I never saw this movie, but it's really hard to go wrong with a Danny Elfman score. This is a cool theme.
