I was listening to the wireless last night, and there was a long interview with Alexandre Desplat.
I didn't recognise the name, but I certainly recognised the music and the names of the films he composed for. Not in any particular order, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), The Shape of Water (2017), The Queen (2006), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The King's Speech (2010)...
Towards the end of the interview, the station played something by Desplat that sounded enormously like Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells!
I'm still googling to try to understand the like between the two.
If you're interested, the interview is available at the link below (though I don't know how long it will be there for).
Rencontre avec Alexandre Desplat
Avant de présenter le concert "Paris à Hollywood" à la Philharmonie de Paris, le compositeur français partage ses souvenirs et son approche dans la composition des musiques de films.

After listening to the interview again, it's the closing music to Moonrise Kingdom, Alexandre Desplat's "The Heroic Weather-Conditions of the Universe, Part 7: After the Storm."
Compare this to Tubular Bells (and to Peter and the Wolf).

some more great movies:
●"they live" with Roddy Piper ("i'm here to kick a** and chew bubblegum -- but i'm all out of bubblegum) maybe sci-fi in the eighties but sadly more realistic these days
●"das boot" (fun fact: the same submarine was used in "raiders of the lost ark")
●"Quigley Down Under" , starring a Sharps in 45-110 and Tom Selleck
●"ten canoes"
●"a man called horse 1+2" with Richard Harris, also an older movie about Hugh Glass with same actor (i forgot title...)
●the mini series "shogun"

Probably the best war series ever made
Which one, the 1980 or 2024 version?
The thread was about movie scores rather than movies. A movie thread would be a whole new thing.
I find my favourite varies but No1 is undoubtably the extended Conan the Barbarian sound track... over 1 hour 42 minutes of non-stop listening.
After this, Starwars, Good, Bad & the Ugly, Star Trek, homemade compilation of war Movie soundtracks (inc Dambusters, Great Escape, Mosquito Squadron, Kellies Heroes, Dirty Dozen, 633 Squadron, zulu, lawrenace of arabia, battle of britain, etc)

The 2024 version was released over here on either Sky or Amazon I think.
It recieved a lot of aclaim for not wandering too far from the original book and it also won a lot of Emmy's including Outstanding Drama Series
Interstellar, Da'vinci code, angels and Demons, Inferno, pretty much anything scored by Hans Zimmer.
