How to train your dragon Top gun

[@SamLanena]

Anything and everything Hans Zimmer has ever done, with a special fondness for True Romance.

[@SamLanena]

Anything and everything by Mark Knopfler, with exceptional fondness of the Princess Bride.

[@SamLanena]

I can't start, I won't stop.

[@Grubnar]

The first soundtrack that really hooked was (of course) STAR WARS, by John Williams. One of the soundtracks that I have listened to, too often to count, is CONAN THE BARBARIAN, by Basil Poledouris. Is the most emotionally charged, and POWERFULL soundtrack I have ever listened to. Another soundtrack I have listened to too often to count is FIRST BLOOD, by Jerry Goldsmith, perhaps better known as the first Rambo movie. Although I have like 20 soundtracks he has made, and some of them may be objectively "better" I must mention CRIMSON TIDE, by Hans Zimmer. I bought the CD not knowing what the movie was about, or what the soundtrack would be like, went into it completely blind (or would that be deaf?) and I LOVED IT! The fifth and final soundtrack I will mention (although I could no doubt go to 100, easy!) is THE TERMINATOR, by Brad Fiedel. I was very young (most likely TOO young) when I first wathced The Terminator, and the music really got to me. It was the first time I had heard anything like it. This dark, techno, synth, MECHANICAL music, that was both very sad ... but also very uplifting. The end credits when Sara Connor drives off towards her fate, is PERFECT! (BONUS soundtrack, TRON LEGACY, by Daft Punk, one of the best soundtracks ever made!)

[@deltadiablo]

TRON: Legacy, one of the top soundtracks ever. Daft Punk at their finest.

[@tbrasc0]

Yes indeedy!

[@fallsnightmare]

I just rewatched the movie recently I I didn't realize they were actually in there the first time.

[@Cptbaker1980]

Didn’t remote control rework it “heavily” so a bit more zimmer and co then daft punk?

[@TheTalonts]

I like both the soundtrack and the remix version, and keep both in the car at all times.

[@maneotis4g63t]

💯 still one of my favorites.

[@RazorEye]

The soundtrack for The Fifth Element never gets enough credit. The film had music playing through the film so much and it was literally a character that followed you along in the story.

[@BigBlueD830]

I second 5th Element. Outside of musicals, it is the only movie soundtrack I go to listen to over and over.

[@hillside21]

Cheb Khaled's _Alech Taadi_ I knew, and was so stoked to hear there in a critical scene.

[@thimkthimk]

Korben my man.. I got no fyah!

[@poozizzle]

Fun fact it was originally listed in my local newspaper as rated R for violence and Chris Tucker!

[@xxJOKeR75xx]

super green!

[@arkroogs90]

Of recent movies, Interstellar and Dune are some of Hans Zimmer's finest work imo. But also, no one talks about his gorgeous work on the original Lion King movie. The orchestral music of that movie still moves me to this day. Speaking of Disney, I think the team of Alan Menken/Stephan Schwartz did some of the most beautiful work. The Hunchback of Notre Dame has some of the most gorgeous music of any Disney movie imo.

[@CosminNeagu]

Days Of Thuder's soundrack really slaps. It's fitting for the movie. Hans is a master when it comes to OSTs.

[@kylec4485]

I believe tenet is probably underrated for soundtracking. The lengths Ludwig went to make a space of time in the music itself by recording things forwards and backwards then reversing and so on it just adds many layers to the movie

[@mikeunrau2894]

true man, i really like alot of the music from most of christopher nolans films

[@vicentem8825]

One of the most beautiful, haunting soundtracks ever is "Dances with Wolves" - John Barry. The other I have to include is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[@rootieboy]

John Barry is my go to for reading on Pandora

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

John Barry did a lot of wonderful scores, in addition to the Bond movies. "Raise the Titanic" is one of my favorites.

[@mr.dudebro924]

Dances with wolves is monster soundtrack, takes something special to carry through a 4+ hour epic.

[@MattWinchell]

My favorite Giachinno soundtrack is actually speedracer (2008). It's so energertic and badass. My top 5 goes: 1: Raiders of the Lost Ark 2: Empire Strikes Back 3. Speed Racer 4. Star Wars 5. Return of the Jedi

[@CoyoteFallsForge]

As for soundtracks...I humbly submit just about anything by the late Basil Poledouris - his "Conan the Barbarian" is one of the best soundtracks from the 80s. He also did "Starship Troopers", "The Hunt For Red October" and the live action "Jungle Book" among many others. Absolutely brilliant, powerful stuff.

[@steverino6954]

I love the Conan soundtrack.

[@Brian-bn3qp]

This pleases Crom

[@GustavoRubioGSR]

Don’t forget Robocop. Epic set of OST

[@okitasan]

That love/warmth you speak of is why Tested is always a go-to feel-good channel for me. Even if it’s just you speaking like in this video, I know I’ll come away feeling positive afterwards. Same vibe as mythbusters, there’s just love and enthusiasm in every episode

[@jamesallred460]

I can't believe you said the Coen bros but didn't mention "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" That's a fantastic soundtrack!

[@P-Mouse]

+

[@jonathanryals9934]

Neil Young's Deadman soundtrack is epic and totally makes the movie. Perfect ambience.

[@BertrandLeRoy]

The Akira soundtrack is breathtaking.

[@zacharyalvernaz7916]

Best soundtrack ever: Schindler's List. There really isn't a soundtrack out there that can truly match the emotions it brings out, even if you haven't seen the movie.

[@rootieboy]

If we are talking about soundtracks with recognizable themes. In no particular order: 1: The Empire Strikes Back 2: Raiders of the Lost Ark 3: Return of the King 4: Dances With Wolves 5: Back to the Future 6: Batman 7: Forest Gump 8: Superman 9: Edward Scissorhands 10: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone 11: 2001 A Space Odyssey 12: Somewhere in Time 13: An AmericanTail 14: Jurassic Park 15: Hook 16: Titanic 17: Contact 18: Close Encounters 19: Star Trek the Motion Picture 20: gladiator

[@malkiyyah2693]

My top 5, in no particular order: 1) Perfume: The Story of a Murderer 2) The Fountain (just going with one Clint Mansell entry, here) 3) The Lord of the Rings trilogy 4) The Piano 5) Bladerunner 5)

[@SuperBommer1]

Forrest Gumps Soundtrack it just puts you in the scene at the right time of history I was so blessed to watch the movie without knowing any of the hype and the soundtrack just made the history lover in me happy

[@CorndogNinja]

I was still pretty young when The Incredibles came out, so it really sticks in my mind as the first time I saw a movie and really noticed the *score*, not just the songs characters sang. Absolutely still a favorite of mine as well!

[@RoninDosho]

One of my favorites is the soundtrack to The Last Mohican.

[@di0__0ib]

it's great to know you prefer the Tangerine Dream version again, the Goldsmith Bryson is great too! but the TD version is what we got here in the theater and on VHS so it sounds wrong not having TD I can't dismiss "Vision Quest" soundtrack. I know that sounds weird, but go look up the track list

[@rcjbvermilion]

Adam's story about Jamie buying the big CD player reminds me of the summer I spent working with a crew of electricians. They had a tape player, and only half a dozen tapes. One was The Eagles, and another was Eiffel 65. The struggle to find music that everyone likes is real, and I find Jamie's solution both hilarious and awesome.

[@heliank6905]

Before heading to the gulf for what would become Iraqi freedom or the 2nd gulf war, my cheif asked to borrow everyone's music. He converted everything to MP3's and, with a few easter eggs, burned it to a DvD. We played it on random, and 2 to 3 votes (depending on how many were in the shop) would get a song put on the ignore list. Cheif duplicated anything he thought was short and funny, the one that sticks out was resident evil's soundtrack "the red queen", british girl saying "you're all going to die down here".

[@jyesucevitz]

I'm hoping Highlander made the list. I've only purchased 2 movies soundtracks. That Thing You Do and Highlander. obviously anything by Danny Elfman is genius.

[@P-Mouse]

Queen...

[@zengargoyle]

Basement storage. My grandfather had a basement workshop. He took small jars, like baby food, pickle, jelly, etc. clear glass jars. He screwed the lids to the rafters and filled each jar with various and sundry things. When you needed something like pop rivets, screws, nuts and bolts, grommets, whatever... You just had to look up and around, everything was there and visible, you just had to reach up and unscrew the jar with the the things you needed. There were also narrow shelves above the chest freezer with jars, and jars attached to the bottom of the wall shelves. Everything small-ish at least, always visible within easy reach.

[@hillside21]

I inherited an open cabinet unit with such jars attached, and also got other storage based on Best Foods mayo jars of various sizes, but today's plastic storage just won't go the distance. I keep seeing broken plastic bins thrown on the sidewalk. Banker's boxes aren't so cheap today, but they are perfectly modular, reusable, and recyclable.

[@indra95ify]

My favorite movie scores must be: blade runner 2049 by Hans Zimmer the original dune by TOTO district 9 by Clinton shorter Ex machina by Ben Salisbury Passengers by John Newman Beyond the black rainbow by Sinoia Caves, Arrival by Johann Johannson The exorcist (tubular bells) by Mike Oldfield For tv shows: the soundtracks for the expanse by clinton shorter are hands down the most beautiful works i ever heard on tv (i had to elaborate on that one a little cause they're fenomenal) Broadchurch by ólafur Arnalds One strange rock by Daniel Pemberton The planets by Anže Rozman and Andrew Christie The Leftovers and My Brilliant Friend by Max Richter

[@DorifutoRabbit]

I agree, Clinton Shorter's work on The Expanse is excellent

[@eoyguy]

Gladiator for me is tops. I used to listen to it all the time, it really gets you psyched for whatever you are doing. I know I am a heretic for saying it, but the Vangelis soundtrack for Blade Runner almost ruined the film for me. Others that I love are Legends of the Fall, Last of the Mohicans, and Interstellar.

[@hannsdampf9224]

Gladiator ist top for me.

[@TheGreatAtario]

I want to put in a good word for: •The Beau Hunks' recreation soundtracks ( _The Little Rascals_ , Laurel & Hardy) •Raymond Scott/Carl Stalling (Looney Tunes and others)

[@johnbenson4672]

I'm going to throw in a suggestion that's probably outside a few folks experience. The soundtrack to Amelie. Everyone is used to accordions played loudly and/or badly. This soundtrack features it used as an actual musical instrument and the difference is stunning.

[@DoubleVisionSoundSystem]

Yes! I listen to this soundtrack regularly. Even had it play at my wedding during dinner service!

[@rabidspatula1013]

So many great soundtracks :D my all time favorite has to be Conan the Barbarian if I boil it down.

[@Brian-bn3qp]

Crom is pleased

[@MakinHicks]

Ooo that’s a good one. Definitely.

[@DeltaDemon1]

I usually don't notice soundtracks and there's so many good ones that it's difficult to narrow it down. However, Lord of the Rings is an excellent soundtrack that I noticed during the movie. Another one is the soundtrack for the movie Rush. I specifically went to see the movie because Clapton had written it.

[@ironwolfstudios2857]

The most perfect soundtrack of all time is the original Jurassic Park OST by John Williams. I also argue that the original Jurassic Park is the most perfect movie ever made.

[@andrewcavallo1877]

Have you ever seen the movie Oblivion with tom cruise? The soundtrack was written by M83 and it’s a sci-fi masterpiece of future-esque synth music

[@eoyguy]

Agree, I love that one especially in the context of the film.

[@nickluckovitch3288]

Interstellar just screams magical and otherworldly to me. Nothing tops it.

[@EricFoster]

If we're talking scores, Fight Club by The Dust Brothers is an incredible journey through sound.

[@red26rocker]

Wanted to be sure someone mentioned the Score, since it seems that’s what Adam is answering with. Versus a Soundtrack, rather different they are. Pretty sure all of Adam’s mentions fall under Scores.

[@michaelmarrinan9981]

Came for the soundtrack question but ended up very intrigued by your storage solution methods

[@andrewfischer8126]

my favourite soundtrack of all time is The Last Samurai with tom cruise. Its also my favourite movie of all time. you have to listen to (the way of the sword). omg it gives me goose bumps every time. its so beautiful and powerful

[@kaycee1076]

For me nothing really beats Into the Spiderverse: The soundtrack has its own storyline, and speaks so much about the characters and their backgrounds. Also, Sunflower will _always_ have a special place in my heart. Michael Giacchino knocked it clean out of the park with Coco! I end up singing "Juanita" and "Remember Me" to myself at least once a month. Blue Planet 2, though not really a movie, was also bloody amazing! Hans Zimmer is an absolute master! I would be interested to know what Adam's choice of video game soundtracks would be: personally Destiny and Destiny 2 has some unbelievably moving pieces, Halo as well. The Assassin's Creed 2 saga has some beautiful pieces that helped bring the world to life.

[@jimmysgameclips]

I used to be active in a chat group for soundtracks and we all loved Jerry Goldsmith. I'm probably being out there by saying that my favourite one of his is The Burbs, it's so fitting like anything Jerry Goldsmith did. There's so many film soundtracks that are wonderful to listen to on their own and deserve any attention they get. The Truman Show has a superb soundtrack by Philip Glass and Burkhard Dallwitz and I don't think I saw anyone mention it! Something great about it, which you also find in the Shawshank Redemption soundtrack, is that there's these fantastic set piece soundtracks where they are fantastic but are better heard with the preceding track(s) going into them. People will listen to Truman Sleeps but miss out if they only listen on youtube from not having Reunion play before it. It leads into it beautifully. I could honestly start a youtube channel about soundtracks lol... I wonder if Adam has listened to the In Bruges soundtrack, it's quite a dark but compelling soundtrack by Carter Burwell.

[@michaelminch5490]

Blade Runner and Legend! Two of my all-time favorites!

[@austindeertay]

Resevior Dogs,The Big Lebowski,Baby Driver,and Guardians 1&2 are always near the top of the list

[@DavidLindes]

0:37 - oh wow, I hadn't heard. Loved a lot of his stuff! RIP, Vangelis!

[@covrtdesign5279]

Ravenous has one of my favorite soundtracks of any movie. So different but works so well with the movie. One of my favorite movies too, such a sleeper.

[@P-Mouse]

+

[@nec3f]

I *loved* my 100 (and then upgraded to 200) disc changer. It spent 10ish years on random and followed me from high school all the way through college. With it all filled up, you'd be amazed how many songs you own that you've never heard.

[@Hydrazine1000]

Right after the question was posed, I chanted _Bladerunber Bladerunner Bladerunner!_ and you delivered! Now on with the rest of the video... Edited to add: Atomic Blond (2017, starring Charlize Theron) had an _amazing_ period-correct eighties soundtrack, with (not original to the movie) hits of that time, which was very powerful in evoking that particular Cold War zeitgeist: songs from Nena, David Bowie, Public Enemy, New Order, The Clash, Queen, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode... Very very powerful if you're born in the seventies, because it taps straight into your memories!

[@andyrobson7686]

Again, Adam takes a simple question and gives so much. I have a nearly impossible time coming up with any top 5 or 10 of anything, it depends on my mood, what I've listened to or watched lately, etc. Charles Potris's novel True Grit is a short novel, and both movie versions stay very close to the book and use most of its wonderful dialog.

[@jaydonbooth4042]

Blade Runner soundtrack is indeed incredible. Such a vibe, definitely is a critical part of the movie. Some of the few tunes written specifically for a movie that I listen to outside of watching it.

[@CoYoTdeLiMa]

Adam... is the brother we all wish we have. And Jamie is the grumpy uncle we all wish we have. He should write a book about his life so far.

[@andyheffling5000]

Hailee Stienfeld was also fantastic in Dickinson, which also has an amazing soundtrack

[@TheTalonts]

Back in the early 90s, Legend was not available on CD in the US. I was working for an audio company, and they got this new thing called a "CD recorder", and I bought a second, brand new copy of the tape JUST to record it onto CD for my car CD player. No more worrying about wearing out a tape!

[@johnpatrickmcp]

I have to throw two soundtracks out since there is some overlap between my top five and Adam's top 5. First, the Rock. This movie I feel like was the pinnacle of the over the top 90's action movies and Hanz Zimmer was who you went to for over the top action movie scores. The score to the Rock is also what I consider the peak Hanz Zimmer score. The second I will throw out is DragonHeart (also coincidentally another Sean Connery movie). This is a sword and sorcery movie that I think is criminally under rated and the soundtrack is better than it has any right to be. This was the CD that played as background music to my teenage Fantasy RPG games or when I was painting my pewter miniatures. There are parts that still almost move me to tears when I hear them.

[@Blackcloud_Garage]

The Rock soundtrack is amazing!

[@robinmichel9048]

The Black Stallion (1979) soundtrack by Carmine Coppola is such perfection. The first half of the movie has almost no dialogue so the soundtrack just shines. A great "kids" movie that isn't dumbed down.

[@torquemada6781]

maybe watch Thief from 1981 with James Caan, the soundtrack from Tangerine Dream is glorious but you need to hear the edition which includes Confrontation from Craig Safan

[@bananabourbonaenima]

1. Blade runner - Vangelis 2. Empire strikes back - John Williams 3. Inception - Hans Zimmer 4. Once upon a time in the west - Ennio Morricone 5. Mad Max Fury Road - Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg Honerable mention: The Virgin Suicides - Air

[@blodpudding]

To make your labeling system even better with the tapes is using different colored tapes for each area you work with so Green can be woodworking, Blue metal, Yellow electrical, and so on. It helps a lot if you're the kind of person who misplaces things often like me. 👍

[@DeltaDemon1]

My workshop is also in the basement. Between the rafters (I think that's the term...The length of 2x6 or 2x8 wood), you can put long thin stuff (like long 2x4 and pipes and the like). You can also use the I-Beam for stuff as long as you don't pierce or damage the I-Beam. There are special clamps that you can get for that.

[@Blueeyes2584A]

Michael Giacchino is absolutely amazing. One of my favorite pieces of his is Night on the Yorktown from Star Trek Beyond, absolutely amazing piece!

[@nolanhayden4432]

Agreed! His Star Trek main theme is way up there in Star Trek scores, the way it can be manipulated to fit various scenes is great-but that first shot where we see the Enterprise in orbit absolutely shook me when I first saw the first reboot film.

[@Blueeyes2584A]

@@nolanhayden4432 oh yeah! On the complete score for Star Trek 09, the track is called "Enterprising Young Men," I get goosebumps everytime I hear it. 🥰

[@slider7w]

I will always know him best for the score from Medal of Honor: Frontline. After you beat the game you get a behind the scenes music video of Michael and the orchestra working on it (which you can find on youtube). And it kind of blows your mind all the effort put into a PS2 game score back then.

[@Blueeyes2584A]

@@slider7w Yep! I have the whole soundtrack to the Medal of Honor games. Great choice.

[@super9248]

Public Enemies, Miami Vice (2006 movie), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1, Gladiator and The Old Guard. (Not in any order)

[@bluesrocker91]

Paris, Texas is one of my all time favourite movie soundtracks, Ry Cooder's sublime slide guitar work. I'll often watch that movie and treat it almost like a 2 hour music video, just soaking up the atmosphere of the music combined with the visuals.

[@MakinHicks]

Last of the Mohicans..The Crow..Grosse Pointe Blank..a few of my favs.

[@NitaKerns]

Loved By The Sun from Ridley Scott's Legend has played in my head every single day for the past 30 years. Oh I love that film. My dream cosplay is Dark Lily 😍

[@Richard_Nickerson]

Essentially anything from John Williams, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Howard Shore, Michael Giacchino, and Hans Zimmer **chef's kiss**

[@nicholas_scott]

I love true grit. I think it gets overlooked because it’s a remake of an already good movie

[@JeffKraschinski1969]

Hey Adam, I would strongly recommend Really Useful Boxes for storage. See through, stackable, come in a car load of sizes and strong as hell. The 17L boxes are tailor made for physical disc media cases.

[@Heavy_Metal1982]

in highschool all I listened to was The Heavy Metal, Repoman, Return Of The Living Dead, and Rocky Horror soundtracks..... still do to this day.

[@RichardM-kv4uu]

John Barry, the musician responsible for all the best Bond soundtracks, was originally asked to write the soundtrack for The Incredibles, but for one reason or another he wasn't able to. Nice to see Vangelis and Tangerine Dream get a mention too! The soundtrack to "Thief" by Tangerine Dream is pretty good, and very 80s!

[@cityonahillterrain]

The Oblivion soundtrack is also amazing.

[@penfold7800]

Two excellent questions. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I really wish music companies would loosen up a bit on rights for some of the brilliant music out there so we are no longer tortured by the 'muzak’ in lifts, hotels and shops. Its never a good shopping experience for me. When i was young, most of my musical enjoyment was movie themes. SciFi and Westerns mainly with a bit of classical organ music thrown in. Atmospheric background soundtracks are interesting too. But to be extremely cliche, my favourite has always been the Close Encounters mothership communication scene. The whole thing is just so beautiful. Storage is a whole other thing with me. My major gripe has always been with what they do in the designs to make storage boxes stackable. Why arent they parallel sided (theyre usually narrower at the bottom) and why are they shaped in such way that theres always too much wasted but unusable space in them....and between them when theyre stacked side by side. IT DRIVES ME MAD!!. Could you come up with a better design Adam?

[@laurelhill3505]

Conan the Barbarian (1982) by Basil Poledouris. Hands down, best ever. It actually tells the entire story.

[@stevenduering7155]

My top 5 favorite filmscores 5) The Incredibles 4) Christine 3) Superman The Movie 2) The Wraith 1) Raiders Of The Lost Ark

[@prongATO]

I know one of my choices is less cerebral but I love the soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy. I was born in 1973 so it’s almost like the soundtrack to my young childhood. Great stuff.

[@olsonspeed]

Building a deep storage loft in my garage helped immensely, not an easy or low cost solution but definitely the right one for my situation.

[@oracleofvalerius]

Same here. I love true grit. The language, everything about it. Is just so good.

[@petermot645]

I still have the Bladerunner soundtrack on cassette lol, & listen to it once a year. Thanks for sharing again !

[@-djs]

It's hard to choose 5, a couple that stand out for me would be Last Of The Mohicans True Romance So many Hanz Zimmer, Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams ones, too many to mention.

[@MrZynmaster]

completely forgot to put that one on my list. i used toi listen to the longer one that plays toward the end when they're chasing them up the mountain for the finale battle. i'd just replay that back to back to back

[@jacob.munkhammar]

Top 4 soundtracks: Blade Runner / Tron Legacy / Solaris (Soderbergh) / In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-Wai)

[@loochboy]

Thanks so much for this! Now I'm grooving on Carter Burwell! Actually, I saw The Alamo in '04 and really enjoyed the fiddle moments from Davey Crockett, but never thought to check out the soundtrack. Thanks for re-reminding me of this.

[@dandemars3570]

Check out the soundtracks for: "Country" (Windham Hill, 1984) and "At Middleton" (Arturo Sandoval, 2013). "E.T." (John Williams, 1982) isn't too shabby either. Enjoy.

[@button-puncher]

Pulp Fiction, Last Action Hero, Queen of the Damned, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Blues Brothers, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Wayne's World, Austin Powers, UHF (Weird AL), to name a few off the top of my head. Storage, I like Sterilite 15Qt and 27Qt containers. Made in the USA! They have a clear-ish Polypropylene (PP) that doesn't shatter like the other brands that I've tried. Lids are interchangeable and have latching handles. Two 15's are the same height as a 27. I get them locally at Menards. Very reasonably priced. Don't forget the lid/cover when you buy them! Easy to do. Thanks for the soundtrack tips! I'm going to check them out. Used to be a great way to learn about new/other bands back in the 80s and 90s.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I think one thing worth noting is a difference between soundtracks and scores. The example I hold up is Tim Burton's "Batman." Prince provided the soundtrack, while Danny Elfman wrote a brilliant score. A lot of films release both together, with a few soundtrack numbers and a few score tracks. But the two things are separate entities.

[@ShadowMystic7]

What's the difference/deliniation? Is it just existing songs used vs sheet music specifically for the film?

[@zyxwvut4740]

_Magnolia_ has an incredible soundtrack. It's part Supertramp, then a lot of Aimee Mann with classics like "Save Me" and "Wise Up". At the end of the (incredibly long) movie, the characters actually start singing the latter as they each reach catharsis. For something completely different, I loved the _Little Mermaid_ recorded before Howard Ashman died.

[@andreweckford6319]

Bladerunner is easily my favourite - first CD I bought in 1994 as a special order the local shop had to ship in. still listen to it regularly. Polidouris was also excellent in general - but particularly for Conan. Every piece conjures a specific part of the movie.

[@KP-br6dl]

Bundy Ginger Beer. Love it! If you can get it there, they release a limited edition Spiced Ginger Beer around Christmas time. When it’s available, we stock up on it to last until the following Christmas. It’s terrific on it’s own but goes down great as a mixer with rum or whiskey.

[@Cold_Hearted_World]

The soundtrack to "Heat" is my personal favourite.

[@Crusader982]

Adam Savage and Coen Bro's love. What a combo

[@dad5191]

The Wicked Flea is an interpretation of the old hymn “Leaning on The Everlasting Arms”

[@ShadowMystic7]

Definitely a lot of John William fans in the comments which is fair; John Williams is, after all, the man. 1. Fellowship of the Rings. Concerning Hobbits and The Breaking of the Fellowship, specifically make me feels every time. 2. Pirates of the Carribean 3. Star Wars. 4. Nightmare Before Christmas. Just everything. 5. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Parts of the Overture are so recognizable that you've almost definitely heard it even if you haven't seen the film if you lived through 1990-2010. Morgan Creek and "There is only One Disney" are examples. Honarable mention: The Cowboys

[@emilymartin5418]

Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is great, not a single track lets it down.

[@josephharrison5639]

I have a playlist of close to 1000 songs from various tv shows, movies and video games including incredibles, Star Wars (somewhere like 300 Star Wars songs and covers lol), halo, the expanse, Phineas and ferb (cause I’m young and that brings out my inner child) and John Williams in general. I play it while working at my colleges dining hall and the students love it

[@stancleveland1117]

The musical theme of many ot the tracks from True Grit (including "The Wicked Flee") is based on the 1887 hymn "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms." The track "A Quarter Century" is based on the 1870 hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." It's possible that other True Grit tracks utilize melodies of hymns that I don't happen to recognize. The tunes of those old songs can certainly inspire powerful emotions.

[@marklitton3473]

Allow me a bit of pedantry, but I'd suggest that the Coen's True Grit is based more on the original source novel by Charles Portis, than a remake of the John Wayne movie.

[@HalSchirmer]

Should ALSO mention for driving - the soundtracks for 'Bullitt', 'The French Connection', and Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior'.

I love the old western soundtracks - if you have never heard "Theme from the Magnificent Seven" on the TelArc/Cincinatti Pops "Round Up" CD, do yourself a favor and look it up. That whole album is so good, as it gives these classic tracks the punch they deserve. Jerry Goldsmith's "The Wind and the Lion" is a favorite of mine, as is Basil Poledouris's work on "The Hunt for Red October". And let's not forget Sergei Prokofiev's magnificent "Alexander Nevsky".

Another someone I'd recommend checking out, if you haven't: Tom Tykwer. He (and two others: Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil; together the "Pale 3") does the music for almost all of his films, and... it ends up so well fit to the film (ref 2:09!)... AND, nice to listen to. In particular, you mention stuff that's fun to drive to, and I forget how long I had the _Run Lola Run_ soundtrack in my car, listening over and over. It's good stuff. :) And _The International_ has a delightfully creepy sort of soundtrack, _Drei_ a melancholy one, etc. Again: worth checking out, IMHO.

[@SnoRider1014]

Ones that I can think of that are some of my favorite soundtracks are; LoTR, Star Wars, Tron: Legacy and Hero.

John Williams, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, James Horner, and Michael Giacchino 💙💙💙

Your describing the clear boxes with huge labels on them made me think of the storage wall at M5 that Jamie had. I'm sure that played a role in your decision to do something similar.

I've been listening to Battle Royale (2000) and Battle Royale II: Requiem OSTs recently. So good.

The evolution of The Vulture theme song in Spiderman Homecoming is an amazing feeling

[@Kaitbr]

New member here, you should see Carol. Carter Burwell's soundtrack is truly stunning.

I fell in love with James Horner’s soundtrack for sneakers in the nineties, listened to it recently on cassette, god I’m feeling old. Also the map room music from raider’s….

[@retromemories8522]

So many great soundtracks from James Horner.

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

1.Anything Hans 2.Prisoner of Azkaban 3. Holes 4.Swiss Army Man 5. Jennifer’s Body You got some classic orchestral stuff in there, a soundtrack made by a band for a movie, Harry Potter with the best rework and combination of music and theme styles, and hole and JB with just some good ass music. This is off the top so I’d have to think harder but those movies I could listen to forever.

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

I like to listen to movies a lot when I’m working or something so these always stick out as just fun music movies. Honorable mention though the Junkie XL snydercut. The factory style mechanical beats with emotional stuff just brought it to life.

[@motionblurofhappy7804]

Damn but yeah the incredibles is amazing and I’d say men in black trilogy as well and how it evolves with the times and style of the movie.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is not only one of the best movies ever, but has a great OST too, done by Son Lux. Hereditary had a great dark OST, by Colin Stetson. VICE OST by Nicholas Britell was perfect, Zimmer's Tenet OST, Clint Mansell in countless of things like the San Junipero episode in Black Mirror, Philip Glass' Truman Show OST, Rupert Gregson-Williams and The Crown's OSTs set the atmosphere perfectly... Finally, Adam went old school with the Blade Runner OST, but I'll even more old school and say that Bernard Herrmann is criminally undermined, he was one of the greatest OST composers and people like Danny Elfman borrow, knowingly or unknowingly, from Herrmann constantly.

I don't usually pay much attention to soundtracks but I do love Jown Williams' work on Star Wars 4 and Howard Shore's on Lord of the Rings.
