I just watched
Conan the Barbarian the other week, and it struck me what an
excellent movie that truly is, especially in these later days when all fantasy movies have to crib heavily from LOTR, all celtic knotwork and Enya soundtracks.
It's good to get back to the more Anglo branch of fantasy movies. And I've been really impressed with Basil Poledouris's score from the film. If, as I suspect, fantasy video game scores are largely an homage to his Conan score, that makes Basil Poledouris a more influential film composer than even Moriccone.
