It might be. The only scores I'd put up against it are LotR and Gladiator.

[@dolria1]

The chills is unreal... This soundtrack is not from this world, every time i hear it i get chills and when they play the riders of doom then im crushing my enemies in my mind like conan did :')

[@rodrigoserafim8834]

Conan soundtrack and movie remain some of the most underrated masterpieces of the age of cinema. They both embody the essence of what a story is, a man carving his own path through the tragedy of the world around him. Could have been a Homeric Epic, but with so few words and its music backdrop, I think cinema is the only way this story could, and should, be told.

[@rafamontes9900]

La mejor banda sonora de la historia, que no tenga un oscar es increíble

[@oobrocks]

This made Conan a Great film!

[@lawrencef8507]

This was my favourite childhood movie!. even though I may have been too young to see it I must of seen it 1000 times anyway. So ahead of its time and one of the best performances from Arnold

[@RuralTowner]

I and the movie were only a few years old when I first saw it. Couldn't count how many times I watched it even back then.

[@stillmattwest]

Right there with you. This was the first R rated movie I ever saw. I think I was nine years old. My mom took me to see it as a bribe to go with my sister to see Little Orphan Annie. Worth it!

[@rikk319]

@@stillmattwest I was 13, but my mother had no idea what was in the film. She was a trooper and stayed through it with me. I guess my dad taking me to Clint Eastwood films when I was 5-6 helped :D

[@AZ4Runner]

agreed

[@mortanos8938]

Brother, for that comment I gift you with a cool fun fact. In the documentary, Director John Milius mentions that the Atlantean sword has an engraving which reads "Suffer no guilt ye who wields this blade in the name of CROM". 😎

Pedazo de banda sonora y pedazo de interpretación por la orquesta de Tenerife. Me ha gustado muchísimo.

Uno de los mejores compesitores que he escuchado. El supo captar el transfondo épico, exótico y a la vez temible de la era Hiboria de Conan el Cimerio. Si Robert E Howard lo hubiese escuchado creo que lloraría de gozo y emoción. Nadie pudo captar este concepto mejor que el gran Basil ya que te lleva por toda Hiboria desde la oscura Cimeria, las ricas Ofir, Argos y demas tierras míticas.

He was the second best composer. James Horner was the best movie composer for his music for Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Khan.

[@mbarker_lng]

One of the greatest, most epic soundtracks for a movie composed. Right up there with John William's work.

[@403patriot3]

It really is a gorgeous piece of music, films like this are what made me love movies…but I didn’t realize until years later how special the soundtrack was. Well played, guys

[@marian_majo]

Masterpiece!

[@georgekenshin]

Crom...!!! I cant stop my tears....thank you!!!!

[@aeromundos]

Basil Poledouris gave us Starship Troopers , The Blue Lagoon to name just 2 of his great scores but with Conan The Barbarian he reached new heights , a majestic score , music to be enjoyed with good speakers or headphones. Loved it then when first released in 1982 , love it now , a true classic of film music.

[@mortanos8938]

Starship Troopers, another amazing score for an amazing movie. Amen brother. For that comment I gift you with a cool fun fact. In the documentary, Director John Milius mentions that the Atlantean sword has an engraving which reads "Suffer no guilt ye who wields this blade in the name of CROM". 😎

[@hottdropp8538]

No one can convince me otherwise, when scores are pondered and written - this is the bar everyone hopes to meet. Some are memorable, they get stuck in your head and its repetitiously unforgettable. This one though, This one sticks because its legendary. It's almost as if they made the movie to go along with the score because that's how damn good it is.

[@sk_slade_1]

Anvil of Crom is one of many iconic themes🔥🔥🔥 one of my favorites I grew up with

[@wheretheeaglefly4451]

By the four winds - this is eternal epic! just a masterpiece that Basil Poledouris create with that music. Thanks to that concert.

[@vanessamelch5796]

thanks. a big honour for Basil! R.I.P.

[@iamnoone9041]

AWESOME!!! The Conan soundtracks are some of my favorite music! Not only does it fit the movies but its so powerful. Basil Poledouris was an amazing composer and if he lived and composed this music 100s of years ago, we would talk about him like we do Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and all the other old masters.

[@marconeves1979]

Not quite Basil's tempo.... (which was a bit faster) but still..... one of the best scores ever and a musical masterpiece. How did THIS not win an Oscar??????

[@GrandElemental]

Easily one of the best soundtracks of all time, and this is a great version & performance!

[@espytpro]

Praise Crom for this soundtrack and musical score🎉

[@johnoldham808]

This movie is completely underrated and imo a masterpiece, as was the music ❤

[@fmscores]

Conan The Barbarian paved the way for many other films of the genre but 40 years later none has ever succeeded Conan the Barbarian, the film and the music are two unique pieces just like Ben-Hur they can never be imitated !

[@MS-on9dy]

One of the best movie scores to this day. This guy also didmthe score to Robocop and Red Dawn, among other 80s classics. Pretty talented individual.

[@johnnylalonde7542]

The conductor looks like she could be in the film - she's very intense

[@hadoken95]

She's composed some of the best World of Warcraft music that's been done to date (from Auchindoun in Warlords of Draenor). Really cool also seeing her conduct something so iconic as Conan!
