We like to listen to movie scores. Those are underappreciated most of the times.
That’s why we go to concerts like
- Evening of the Film Music
- Hans Zimmer in Concert
- The Star Wars Suite
We also do a quizes on YT, general movie knowledge, guess the movie by the scene, and guess the movie by musical scores.
We have a spotify playlist with random movie music. Sometimes very hard.
But sometimes we know the movie by its track before we had seen the movie. (Requiem of a Dream)
A lot of the time we make mistakes with Spielberg movies, there are a lot similar sounding moviescores!

Ludovico Einaudi – Composer of amazing piano music

Ennio Morricone – Composer of many Spaghetti westerns
Although not original music written for the movie, because Tarantino likes to pick out tunes to fit the scenes.
3/4 Of the music of Kill Bill is amazing!
The rest is on streaming services
By the scene example
