How has no one said Conan the Barbarian?

The Anvil of Crom alone will put hair on the chest of 3 year old.

Look, the movie is great anyway, but the constant score throughout the film is unparalleled in epicness and badassery.

That would be a totally different movie with different music.

A lot of these are more pop music than what I normally listened too, but I remember them being on the radio.

One of the finest moments in cinema history. Not a word is spoken for a large part of this sequence. The actors and music tell the story, and it is pure brilliance.


This score didn't make a good movie great. It made a great movie a classic.

This is a hard distinction to make since the soundtrack is so integral to a movie's "greatness."

Dances with Wolves, Out of Africa and English Patient (especially) were helped immensely by the soundtracks. Would they have been good with slightly more pedestrian music? who knows.

The Exorcist.
Music and sound track. They were used to manipulate the audiences into the proper mental and emotional state for the scenes to have maximum impact.
