The Mission: Impossible Theme was written in 1966 by Lalo Schifrin

The Star Trek Theme was written in 1966 by Alexander Courage

wild that six decades later these themes are still strong in popular culture

@tvaziri I mentioned this to people who were so happy that Zach Snyder didn’t use the same old Superman theme. 🙄 I dared them to hum the theme to Man of Steel. Crickets.
