A sentimental indulgence

Time Bandits is probably my lifetime favorite movie. I mean this literally. Layered as hell, the film dazzles at all the crucial stages - childhood, pretentious undergrad days, mature/damaged adulthood, decline and dotage (I'll assume). With all that imprinting, how can I not have a soft spot for George's theme song, which isn't all that great, but, like the 25-some-old blanket I refuse to throw away, commands my complete loyalty. I can't think of anything else that could soundtrack the plundering of history's treasures with a gang of renegade midgets.
