How about a bit of uber cool dude Lalo Schifrin, this was from a Mission Impossible show.

Ok, so not an opening theme, but who cares?:

The Killing Moon opening scene from Donny Darko featuring a bicycle ride. I just read the director cut the scene for an INXS song but they couldn't use it due to contractual reasons. Love this Bunnymen version tho.

Nothing beats the brilliant Taxi Driver sequence mentioned above tho'.

Title sequence from 'American Grafitti'?
Charles Martin Smith on a Vespa, & Richard Dreyfuss in a 2CV, anyone?, with Bill Hayley & The Comets 'Rock Around The Clock'
(& the closing track is Beach Boys 'All Summer Long')

Plus Ronny Howard leaning on on a '58 Impala (I think??) - he's billed (Ritchie Cunningham from 'Happy Days')
BUT..... look how far down the billing Harrison Ford is! (yes!, it is Indiana Jones!!), it was his first proper feature film




Perhaps a cartoon, but still cracking theme music;

This! Oh my, how I have forgotten about THIS!

Don't like Queen at all, but this was a good use of it!!
Tia Carrera ................"Schwinggg!!!"

Currently there is a film on STV+1 that I haven't seen in probably 20 years, Batteries Not Included, and here is the theme!! (Like most of these things, there is no film of it on Youtube as such, but you get the jist here!).

Ok, so they probably aren't the best, but so what?!:

Re; 'Deep Space 9'

Think it got voted best Sci-Fi theme music (not sure by whom??) a few years ago

And... it has Jadzia Dax (Terri Farrell)

It received an Emmy for the music

'Outstanding Individual Achievement in Main Title Theme Music'

Not really being much of a Sci Fi kind of guy (truth is always stranger than fiction after all), this is the best I can do for the type of genre (although some will tell me that it is fiction too):

I umm.... Might have posted that once or twice before...

And look at that, someone has tried to (sort of) combine both it and Star Wreck, complete with the full ending this time:
