The force is with film fans after the Star Wars music was named the most memorable movie melody of all time in a new poll.
The dramatic theme played over the opening credits of the science fiction classic picked up 16% of the votes in the poll, beating the James Bond theme into second place with 10%.
John Williams, who composed the Star Wars music, also had entries in the top 10 with the themes from Jaws and Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
The survey, carried out by streaming and DVD rental service Lovefilm to mark the release of the new Bond film Skyfall, asked 2509 film fans to name their favourite music from the movies.
Lovefilm editor Helen Cowley said: "This poll goes to show just how significant and well-loved movie music is. It is difficult to go through this list without humming at least a few bars of each of these top tunes."
Jaws was in third place with 7%; in fourth place was Rocky with 6%; Chariots of Fire was fifth with 5%; Raiders of the Lost Ark was seventh with 4.5%; eighth was Superman with 4%; The Godfather was ninth with 3.5% and Platoon was in 10th place with 3%.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
