GET THIS GUY ON A STAR WARS FILM. MAYBE RIAN JOHNSON'S TRILOGY WHICH I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, ESPECIALLY IF IT INCLUDES JEDI IN THE OLD REPUBLIC. HE HANDLED THE FORCE REALLY WELL. DESPLAT'S MUSIC WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR THAT KIND OF STORY.

I need to stop shouting.

THE best fight scene.


World's most ironic scene.


Tarantino, the absurdist, loves his psychopaths and uses music to set the stage for conflicting emotions. NSFW.


Peaky Blinders Season 5, episode 2, used this song to perfect effect. As a generality, Peaky Blinders scores are epic.

I enjoy when this plays during scenes of protracted chaos. Those sweet scenes where there's so much hell happening all around that things need to get a bit slow.

I find it fascinating mainly due to the fact that in real life I hear music constantly playing as if gently suffused in the background of reality, and the more stressed I get, the louder the music plays. I wonder if this is a thing inherent to the sentient condition, that anyone could tune into, or something that is like a burning bush: not the kind of thing one runs into everyday. :shrug:

This movie is basically the guy equivalent of a chick flick but damn it’s a fun film. One of Goldsmith’s last great scores too

1:44 to 2:40 is my favorite bit, great for driving or working out

The piece above showcases what I suppose could be called “the arab’s theme”, then there’s the excellent Northman theme heard in the beginning of this piece:



I like the way Goldsmith juxtaposed the Arabic and Norse inspired themes throughout the film

I admit I fanboyed pretty hard when they used Alan Silvestri music in one of the stranger things season 3 episodes.

A bit of an unorthodox submission perhaps, but truly epic in humor.

Ever wonder how it would have sounded had John Barry scored Star Wars? I can almost picture this playing during the X-Wing assault on the Death Star


Also, if you listen close starting at 1:40, it sounds like he later repurposed this theme for Out of Africa
