I'm trying to think which one it is you're talking about.
The music from The Motion Picture (the first Trek movie) became the theme for TNG, so it's the other way around.
Which movie got the Star Trek TV series theme? I'm assuming by Star Trek TV series, you mean the original one.

Other than Enterprise, all the Star Trek series and movie themes are based on the theme from TOS.

Opening scene of Fellini's 8½. The old buffers in wheelchairs, propelled by nurses.
Soundtrack: Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" (can't be bothered finding a good rendition on 'tube.)
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

Klendathu Drop[^] from Starship Troopers, best soundtrack for Mechwarrior 5 beachhead missions[^].

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Duelling Banjos. Just the first bar brings to mind all the horrors the movie brought us and all the [albeit incorrect and damaging] cultural images of Appalachia.

As I was reading down this thread, I was, "Yeah, that's it", "No, that one's better", "Oh no, I didn't think of that one" ... I can't believe how much clutter I have in my brain.
Anyhow, I have to go with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Haunting. I just hope I forget it before I go to bed tonight or it will be ringing in my mind all night.

I just struggled mightily to get my ASP.NET Core WebAPI running on Debian Linux on a DigitalOcean Droplet.
A few of the things it involves are:
1) building .NET Core WebApi
2) properly deploying .NET Core WebApi
3) installing and configuring nginx (web server) to forward requests to .NET Core WebApi --this is far too short of a item in the list for how difficult I found it to be).
This is necessary because the .NET Core Web API runs at localhost:5000 and nginx faces outward on your public IP Address.
I had tried this a few years ago & failed. Years. I gave up.
Now today, I finally got it working & I understand what I did.
Success! Or, Just, Well, Ok
At the moment I got it working I was like, "well, meh..." 
The Point! Once You Solve Something Then It Seems Easy
This is especially true in Software Development World.
The Additional Pain
When you go to tell someone about the things you had to do to get it going their response will be:
A) Glazed-over eyes & boredom
B) "Oh, yeah, that's an easy one that I solved long ago. I guess you're kind of slow, right?"
Columbus Suffered This Also
After sailing around the world and returning the various important people be like, "well, what did you really do? Just kept sailing is all."*
The story goes that Columbus told them he'd explain it all to them if they could balance an egg on its end without any outside support help.
Their best engineers tried for hours.
Finally he came in and took the egg and turned it on its end and very gently cracked the outer shell without cracking all the way through. This flattened the end of the egg and it rested on its end.
This is the same thing with circumnavigating the world the first time.
Once you know it can be done and you know the solution it seems dead simple.
This too, is all of Software Development.

Filippo Brunelleschi beat him to it in 1420, on the dome of the Duomo in Florence.

Disagree. Once I've solved something (written code to implement a solution) I am no longer capable of doing so again. If I lose the code, I can't recreate it.

Yeah, that is true. That's why I write CP articles.

Hate to be a party-pooper and point out that Columbus didn't circumnavigate the world and the story is probably apocryphal.

Never throw old hardware away just because it's old. As long as it is funktional there will also be someone out there who may need it to repair some old machine. Especially IDE drives can be really hard to find.
How many owners of old XTs are looking for old drives which still have an 8 bit mode. Impossible to get by now because the drives have not been made for some time anymore and most XTs have long since ended up in the trash together with all still working components.
A basic IDE port is really easy to build and even older computers that never had a hard disk at all can now have something like that. The 8 bit IDE mode has come back in form of CF memory cards, so there is not only hope for old PCs with defective drives, but also something for all sorts of oldschool 8 bit computers.
Besides that, some people pay a lot for old hardware. So much that it lets the newest and shiniest look like a bargain. You would not believe what some people would pay for my old Elf, even if it would not work anymore.
