6	His scores may not be full-blown symphonic but his tunes are very catchy and still stand the test of time.

It gets remixed as part of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6esoF5XJoXM "Big Ben Chase"]] further on.

30	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjq0WDvapow theme]] to the second ''[[Franchise/ThePinkPanther Pink Panther]]'' movie, ''Film/AShotInTheDark'', is even cooler. It also became the theme to ''WesternAnimation/TheInspector'' cartoons based on the Clouseau character.
31	** Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFst5C3UNYo "Hong Kong Fireworks"]] from ''Film/RevengeOfThePinkPanther''.
32	* One of the coolest TV themes ever, the theme to ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah9jQ6_8smQ Peter Gunn]]'', heard later in ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''. Music/JohnWilliams played piano in the original version.

However, he saved his best work with NBC for their election night coverage with this classic theme called "[[https://youtu.be/LQ8dPRhuE1s Salute to the President]]" used from [[LongRunner 1976 until 1992]].
35	* "His scores may not be full-blown symphonic..." it says at the top of the page, well, ''Film/Lifeforce1985'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsV7TuNMr5M has now entered the chat]]. This glorious large-scale score for this horror/science fiction tale is arguably the second-best element of the movie, behind...[[Creator/MathildaMay you know]].
36	* It's a lesser-known piece from Mancini but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC8FNDXgCnA Lujon]]" -- named after the instrument featured in the recording -- is a sweepingly romantic number. It was even featured in ''Film/TheBigLebowski''.
