I'm watching Conan the Barbarian - seriously, best soundtrack ever.

[Rabrrrrrr]

Fucking hell, seriously, in terms of matching music to scene action, and fitting music to the genre - as well as being music that's just plain goddamn fine to listen to on its own - this is the balls out most perfect best soundtrack ever.

Anyone who disagrees that this is a most excellent soundtrack is an artless, clueless, miserable and exceedingly tedious pile of shit.

1. but how was the Foley work?

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Fucking amazing. Seriously.

There is some SERIOUS frakking foley work in that movie.

[DarkTirade]

3. I hate to admit this...

but I've never seen it.

... I know, I have to turn in my man card until further notice. :(

4. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you,

and hear the lamentation of the women!

5. You must really love The Nutcracker Suite.

Tchaikovsky was directed by the choreographer to write music for ALREADY EXISTING choreography. This is the reverse of how it's usually done.

So if the dancers did 3 jumps and then a run and so on, he had to write music that mirrored that exactly, and also capture the essence of the dance ("snow" or "flowers", etc.) and ALSO string it all together into one cohesive beautiful piece of music. All directed not by his own musical creativity, but by the demands of the choreographer, guiding him literally step by step. The ballet contains thousands of steps.

Top that, Hollywood.

17. I know, I know.

I'm a dance nerd.

6. I haven't seen it in a very long time.

Didn't it have a Tina Turner song? Maybe that was something else.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. No. Tina sang a song in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Conan's soundtrack doesn't have any shitty rock music interruptions.

[Radical Activist]

13. Good.

Yeah, that song sucks ass and I was about to question your judgement.

[NewJeffCT]

7. Here ya go

Still the greatest gaming song ever...

8. Poledouris studied film score composition with Miklos Rozsa

and he learned well.

Maybe not the best score ever (a couple of Hermann's scores probably nose it out), but it sure is in the top ten, maybe top five.

10. I totally agree with you. Fun movie but it is the music that I remember the

most. Great Stuff

[DS1]

12. It used to be in my winamp shuffle

[Lyric]

14. Best music matched to a scene ever:

15. It had to be to make up for the lack of decent, understandable dialogue.

The audience needs something to listen to outside of clashing swords, screaming and Arnold's manner of speech.

16. G YEH

I agree
