I still don't know what you mean by 'powerful'. 'Powerful' and 'woman' are two words which I wouldn't use in the same sentence (other than this one).

And I like Hannie Caulder's theme.


Agree Joanie, here's Ken's hannie.



And something from Basic Instinct?? Lol

NOT pretty, lovely, heart-swelling, gushing diatonics......

POWERFUL!!!


Not sure how to define "powerful" (love can be the greatest power, so love themes can be the most powerful themes), but I guess can't beat Valkyries for power. :-)

The Borg theme from FIRST CONTACT was recently reused in one of the new shows for the Borg Queen cameo. Plus the Borg are a singular entity anyways so it was technically already her theme wink

I'm sorry that Ripley never got her own kick-ass theme.

That's because Cameron hates themes.

Even if I believed that I would say it out loud.

For me it’s NO CONTEST: John Powell’s theme in X-Men III: The Last Stand for Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix. Holy shit!!!
Particular favorite moment of that theme in the score is 2:28 into this cue:

Yavar


big grin Great minds think alike. The Dark Phoenix motif/theme from X-Men 3 immediately came to my mind when I saw the thread title.

Though I prefer it here:

Bill Conti's scores for women shouldn't be neglected here.

I love the muscular and gentle theme for the film "Gloria" (1980) which is primarily heard in track 12 "reunion and finale".

And ditto his theme for "An Unmarried Woman". Jill Clayburgh was her own superhero.

I'm gonna throw in Willie Hutch's theme for "Foxy Brown".

And here is the clear winner: theme from "Kill Bill" by Tomoyasu Hotei titled "Battle Without Honor or Humanity".

Its a lovely theme but I'd hardly call it "powerful".

Never knew that! No wonder ALIENS sounds like that.
