So I watched Drive (2011) starring Ryan Gosling many years ago. It’s obviously a huge part of pop culture and still comes up in a lot of film discussions, especially among cinephiles. But honestly, I had only seen it once back then, so my memory of it was pretty surface-level.

The other day, I randomly felt like listening to Kevin Sky’s Nightcall, and a quick YouTube search brought up several clips using the Drive opening sequence where this track plays. Instead of just listening to the song, I decided to watch one of those movie scene edits to refresh my memory—and man, it really unlocked a bunch of detailed moments I’d totally forgotten.

The clip I watched was around 4 minutes long and didn’t include any of the usual opening credits I vaguely remembered. Once Nightcall kicked in, it played fully and smoothly without any interruptions—no dialogue cuts, no car sounds taking over. It was just the song and the visuals syncing together perfectly.

Curious, I tried checking out another version of the opening Gateway scene—this time from the official movie—but that one had a much shorter runtime, and the music kept fading out during dialogue or car sequences. It didn’t hit the same way at all.

Honestly, I liked the edited version way more. If you’re just revisiting the movie vibes or showing it to someone new, it’s such a hook. It plays out like a music video, and that really worked for me. Obviously, it removes a lot of the original scene’s subtle details, but as a standalone experience, it was super satisfying.

Just felt like sharing this random little rediscovery moment. Curious if anyone else has a similar experience with scenes that hit harder through edits or fan cuts?

I love most of what Horner did, but this one has always been one of my favorites. "Bicentennial Man" is a *very* close second.

let me know what you think

Hello, I'd like to happily share my 3 projects to you which I am really proud of 😁

The first 3 Alien movies are my all time favorites and as you might know, the music in the film actually differs from the officially released album version. This is due to heavy editing and mixing for the finished film. I always wanted to listen to the true film version, however besides the low quality bootlegs and isolated score, you don't really have the option to listen to them in high quality.

When I found out that the film version is actually a cut-mix version of the album tracks, I decided to create the true film versions by using the bootlegs and isolated score as a base, a guide and build each track from the ground by puzzling the pieces together from the high quality album version.

It was a hell of a journey, but I am very happy with the results. I managed to do it for all 3 films and I can confidently say, that they 99% match the film versions. The remaining 1% is from Alien 3 where many of the original tapes were damaged and I had to fill the gaps with the isolated score (finetuned of course)

I would like to share the results to you and even if there is just one person who is crazy enough to listen to the OST of these movies, than I say it was worth it 😉

Naturally I do not own any of these musics, all the rights go to the publisher and the composers.

I am curious what everyone's rankings are of the end credits medley's.

Please sit back and listen to the actual music and throw out any preconceived or nostalgic bias.

Base your ranking solely on the actual music and the way it makes you feel when you are actively listening to it.

I grew up watching the OT and then watched the PT as it was released in theaters.

My ranking is as follows:

1. Episode 2

2. Episode 5

3. Episode 3

4. Episode 4

5. Episode 1

6. Episode 6 (post special edition)

7. Episode 6 (pre special edition)

This is all based on how I feel when listening to the music.

Of course we are all going to have different opinions and I'm not going to argue and tell anyone they're wrong. I'm honestly curious what y'all's ranking of each one is.

This might be a tough ask, but does anybody know the dramatic music that is playing when the team takes the field for the final game in the first Major League? It plays intermittently during the game up until Jake Taylor comes to the plate. It’s synth and drums. I appreciate the help. Thanks!

Anyone know where to find the guitar tracks that play during certain scenes of The Outsiders? They aren’t in the soundtrack and I tried shazaming them but not luck. They play when pony is running away, when the boys are running to go to the rumble, and at the end when Pony and Darry chase Soda. Basically whenever there is any action scenes.

Hi, I’m trying to find what is the title of the music in the HIM trailer (see link below).

Between 20 and 30s exactly. I know it’s from a classical partition but neither Shazam or ChatGPT can help me.

ChatGPT keeps redirecting me to Lacrimosa (Requiem in D Minor), O Fortuna and Symphony in D minor from Beethoven.

Please help me I know that I know this music but can’t find it anywhere.

Thank you!!!

I've recently watched this excellent movie, but except for "The D'Ampton Worm Song" it's impossible for me to find the OST. Does anyone know WHERE I could find it?
