Raiders of the Lost Ark

With a whip and a gun, Indiana Jones has captured our hearts and thrilled us with adventure. Raiders of the Lost Ark is just that. An adventure with Harrison Ford who embodies Indiana Jones perfectly. This is a story about the search for the Lost ark of the covenant. Indiana isn't the only one searching for it though. Along the way he encounters Nazi's who want to rule the world!  The score is really well arranged and gives us the classic themes we love about Indiana Jones. Steven Speilburg directed this gem of a movie and gives us more to look forward to. John Williams did the score for the film and captures our imagination.  Can you tell i love this score?

Here is the link to Amazon where you can buy the soundtrack.

Unfortunately you can't get the score through ITunes, they don't have the full soundtrack. Yet through Amazon you can get the digital download as well. Funny how that works.

Superman II

Its a bird, no its a plane, no its Superman! Superman is back and is facing off against three villians from his past. General Zod, and his henchmen who are trying to take over the Earth. The soundtrack was done by Ken Thorne and roles reprised by Christopher Reeves, Margaret Kitter, Gene Hackman and a new addition Terrance Stamp. Yes it makes for a fun action packed film with Superman finally defeating his foes in the fortress of solitude...Away from people! Yes Superman doesn't involve other people in his battles. He doesn't want people to get hurt.

Here is the Amazon link for the vinyl record of the soundtrack.

Here is the Itunes link to the theme.

Flash Gordon (1980)

Flash Gordon, only he can save us from Ming the Merciless! Yes its a movie about a football star, Flash Gordon played by Sam J Jones and he along with Doctor Hans Zarkov and Dale the beauty they embark on a journey of Adventure! The music of the whole soundtrack is actually composed by Queen. It was a great feat for them, doing a instrumental soundtrack and then weaving the theme throughout the movie. I enjoyed it and I'm sure you can too.

The Empire Strikes Back

Dark Times are here in the Universe, a new power has arrived, Darth Vader, and he is on a quest to find Luke Skywalker! Yes with these words Empire Strikes Back gives us chills. I love this movie! This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The score is amazing! John Williams brings everything out with themes of the Empire and Yoda. Even giving us Leia's theme is true. This movie picks up on Hoth where the rebels are fighting to stay alive and not noticed by the Empire. The Battle of Hoth begins, Space Battles, a flight to freedom. These are things I love about the film. The score gives us great music that is still timeless. Well you have heard enough from me, now I can give something back to you.
