Soundtracks and Scores : Conan The Barbarian

Conan The Barbarian

This has to be one of the most underrated scores of all time and one of the best. This never seems to make the list when people discuss a best of list and i don't know why.

Basil Poledouris! I guess because Luca$ and $pielberg dominated the early '80s at the box office. I agree, it's a kick-ass score and deserves to be on everyone's best list.

Whenever I hear those pounding drums, I feel the urge to pick up a sword and cleave some unsuspecting bloke. And it has a lot of swaying, waltz-like pastoral beauty, like in the orgy scene of Thulsa Doom's pad. Intrada has a complete score edition of it and I've been drooling to get it after I get some other things.

Re: Conan The Barbarian

Conan the Barbarian is at the top of my list as the best single score. The Lord of the Rings scores are tops for movie series.

Re: Conan The Barbarian

It is by far my favourite score! There's a bunch others I love very much but should I choose only one, I would go with 'Conan the Barbarian'.

Officer, I've had a doozy of a day...
