For TV themes ...there are the old standbys

Movie Soundtracks & TV themes
As a classically trained musician, I probably have a different point of view than most of us here. Here then is my meager contribution to this discussion, some of my faves:
Robin Hood, music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold
Ben-Hur, music by Miklos Rozsa
Magnificent Seven, music by Elmer Bernstein
Spartacus, music by Alex North
The Lion in Winter, music by John Barry
The Ghost and the Darkness, music by Jerry Golsmith
Lawrence of Arabia, music by Maurice Jarre
Peter Gunn, music by Henry Mancini
Images, music by John Williams
Kingdom of Heaven, music by Harry Gregson-Williams
The Red Violin, music by John Corigiano
Wyatt Earp, music by James Newton Howard
Not all inclusive to be sure, but these are some of my favorites compositionally and just plain fun to listen too
