I forgot about Chick Habit from Death Proof, by Tarantino too. Available also in french as Laisse tomber les filles. And of course Down in Mexico, in Death proof as well.
Most memorable theme music or song for a film?

Booker L,
As you mentioned the James Bond theme music by John Barry is probably the most famous theme song as it has been featured in almost every James Bond movie ever made, but I think John Barry's greatest work is the Midnight Cowboy theme song. Here is the James Bond theme music by John Barry:

Aspen mentioned Sinnerman from the 1999 Thomas Crown remake which features a song by Nina Simone written in the 1960s. Interestingly, the original Thomas Crown Affair in 1968 featuring Steve McQueen won the Academy Award for best original song, this being "Windmills Of Your Mind" by Michel Legrand:

Greetings all
Another success from John Barry
"We Have All the Time in the World" is a James Bond theme and popular song sung by Louis Armstrong. Its music was composed by John Barry and the lyrics by Hal David. It is a secondary musical theme in 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the title theme being the instrumental "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," also composed by Barry. The song title, "We Have All the Time in the World", is taken from James Bond's final words in both the novel and the film, spoken after his wife's death. Louis Armstrong was too ill to play his trumpet.[1] Barry chose Armstrong because he felt he could "deliver the title line with irony."[2]
The song was not registered in the music rating charts in the UK when first released, only becoming well known 25 years later, in 1994 as part of a Guinness beer commercial after My Bloody Valentine chose to cover it for charity. Armstrong's version was then re-released on vinyl and CD and reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. In 2005, a BBC survey showed it is the third-most-popular love song played at weddings.[3]
In addition to My Bloody Valentine, "We Have All the Time in the World" has been covered by La Ola Que Quería Ser Chau, Iggy Pop, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Vic Damone, Michael Ball, Giorgia Todrani, The Puppini Sisters, The Fairly Handsome Band, Tindersticks, The Pale Fountains, Shirley Bassey (for a later withdrawn album of Bond themes), Thomas White (musician) and Alfie Boe. Iggy Pop's version of it plays during the end credits of the film The Jacket.
John Barry cited "We Have All The Time In The World" as one of his favourite Bond compositions, saying it was the finest piece of music he had written for a Bond movie, and also because of the pleasure of working with Louis Armstrong

Ravel's Bolero:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=APj6E4W6xBo
The movie made his estate over a million dollars.
The song "The Sound of Music" from the movie of the same name. It was sung by Julie Andrews, who was the star of the movie about the Von Trapp family's escape from the Nazis. Many good songs came out from that movie's soundtrack, including my favorite one, "Edelweiss".
And since we're approaching the holiday season, how about one of my favorites, "White Christmas", sung by Bing Crosby. I still enjoy watching this great movie every year at around chrismtas.

ROCKY III
Sylvester Stallone originally wanted to use Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" for the Rocky III training montage, but Freddie Mercury and co. wouldn't grant them the license. So Sly turned to Survivor's Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan, who wrote the cut "Eye Of The Tiger" in part by timing the guitar and drum hits to coincide with Rocky's punches.
