I am using the "Presidential" ring from OUR MAN FLINT [da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-dum] (which I got off of the ancient Tsunami CD of OUR MAN FLINT, IN LIKE FLINT and VON RYAN'S EXPRESS). But I get so few calls I've only heard it in a test call from my son.

(We're cell phone luddites. We only have our cells on when we're out of the house, and as retirees we're not out that much.)

Fun topic! I have quite a few on my phone I ripped and edited.

A snippet of the Breakfast Machine from Pee-wee's Big Adventure
The 20th Century Fox logo from The Empire Strikes Back
The Silver Shamrock jingle from Halloween III (just put that one on today!)
Part of the Rekall jingle from Total Recall "For the memory of lifetim. Rekall, rekall, rekall. Rekall...rekall......rekall..."
The Jaws theme
The opening cue used fo the Universal logo from Duel

Can anyone guess what Doug Fake's ringtone is?

(I happened to hear it when I was in Intrada Towers smile .)


The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly?

I use TWINE Gunbarrel as main ringtone now (once again - thanks to LLL - it's still my most often playing album!)
Several years ago I used different versions of Doctor Who titles music for different contacts + TARDIS landing sound effect for SMS smile

I had the Tardis sound effect for a while but I found it not loud enough whatever the volume was at. Thought about the FAFDM watch chime but a lot of folks had that.

I would never, EVER, use my favourite film music as a ringtone. First of all, it completely ruins my appreciation of the piece, second, it creates all kinds of new associations that are not wanted.

I did have the opening brass riff of Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" as a ringtone back in the mid 2000s, but I had to remove it. It made me tire of the brilliant riff and song that it is, and it also made me look for my phone every time I played the actual song on my stereo.

No, I'm perfectly fine with the normal iPhone ring tone. A phone is for phoning, music is for listening.

Mine is The Wind & The Lion main title- coz no one else is going to use it. I've had some funny looks tho'

As I mentioned in an earlier reply I did also use that but on an earlier phone I had previously.

I stopped using film music as ringtones. It stopped me from answering the phone. :-) (Yes this happened)

Mine is either the Enterprise ViewScreen ping from the original series or the sounds of the bridge of the USS Reliant.

I use the rousing conclusion of the "Back To The Future III" End Credits (last ~30 seconds of the track).

A (slightly) kindred spirit. One thing I found odd was when folks started using favourite music and sound sfx for alarm clocks! Cannot imagine anything worse. That is the one thing you're going to start hate pretty quickly. The thing that gets you up for work and wrench you out of comfort???

Don't get many people phoning me on my mobile so it's not a major problem. And I could never hate Stan and Ollie.

Sorry! Not an Intrada release*. Try again.

*That's a clue.

Oops. I think I confused people.

His ringtone IS on an Intrada release.
