5. “Sonnenaufgang” _(Sunrise)_ from _2001: A Space Odyssey_

Often called _Also Sprach Zarathustra_, the part everyone is familiar with is merely the opening movement/fanfare from Richard Strauss’s tone-poem of that name. The entire work runs over a half-hour.

You will probably also hate _The Fifth Element_. It has absolutely nothing to do with boron.

Housekeeping, and an addition…

1. Theme from _The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly_
2. Love Story Theme from _Love Story_
3. Colonel Bogey March from _The Bridge Over the River Kwai_

I know there have been words created and sung to it since then, but to my best recollection there were none in the film.
