Rocky III has the "Gonna Fly Now" theme being performed by a marching band within the film itself.

The Ring remake has Samara singing parts of Zimmer's theme for her.

Legends of the Fall has one of the characters directly sing the melody of one of Horner's themes.

I'm fairly certain Casper has one of the characters humming Casper's Lullaby.


Those are the main ones that immediately sprung to my mind.

I may have missed it, but I don't think anyone has yet mentioned "Live & Let Die" being (very well) performed in the nightclub.

The TV Movie JANE EYRE (1970) was on TV here the other week, and I noticed that Susannah York (as Jane Eyre) "plays" John Williams' main theme on a piano at least twice. Very nice too!

If you've got good ears, you can hear in the scene in "The Longest Day" where Richard Burton walks in the bar, Paul Anka's main theme is performed on the piano in the background.

We've had this topic (or similar) a few times over the years, like this one:

That's a damn good thread to resurrect, Thor.

Isn't there a onscreen reference to the Imperial March in Solo?

In case it's gone unmentioned, the girls at the nuns' school in TROUBLE WITH ANGELS plays a marching band version of Jerry Goldsmith's theme.

In the sequel, a boy band performs in concert Lalo Schifrin's song, WHERE ANGELS GO, TROUBLE FOLLOWS.

Jack Nicholson whistles the main theme from The Witches of Eastwick.

Glenn Ford spends all of 3:10 To Yuma whistling his own theme.

The games in Gladiator are introduced by horns playing the “Progeny” theme.

(ASIDE TO HOWARD: Yes, non-italicized. More to the point, non quotation marked. Since the early days of this thread, I've been putting quotation marks where appropriate around transcriptions of other people's posts.)

ADDENDUM: Just saw WALK, DON'T RUN again the other day. Aside from whistling "Charade," Cary Grant also takes to singing "An Affair To Remember" a couple of times.

When first we see Cary Grant's title character in MR. LUCKY he's jauntily whistling Friml's "Oh, Give Me Something to Remember You By," later used as the main love theme.

[Offhand, I don't remember Grant whistling Waxman in SUSPICION, (a favorite score of mine), but Ray Faiola is usually right about everything, and I am not infrequently wrong.]

We're a film music community, Mr. Jones, not a literary society. And I say this with humility (and respectful-LEE). Your servant, sir.
