Throwing out the pissing match between Marvel/Fox, the initial X-Men theme had the *potential* to be iconic. As it is, people remember the (greatest goddamn intro ever) theme from the 90's cartoon more than the film score... and that's about the only Marvel movie that has anything that sticks out.

Even at the general point, sometimes even the studio intro was part of the memorable theme sequence. I remember Episode VII sounding kinda naked without initial 20th Century Fox/Lucasfilm Fanfare, and just jumping straight to the Star Wars theme. Or little touches, like the Universal Intro being 8-bit sound for Scott Pilgrim (and interestingly, the orchestral version usually in movies was used on the pixelated logo screen for the game).
