Ghostbusters: Ghostbusters Theme
Star Wars IV: A New Hope: Force theme / Ben's Theme
Ghostbusters is a 1984 American supernatural comedy film that stars four comedians in the roles of hucksters-turned-supernatural investigators, who discover that the equipment they have invented can summon and trap real ghosts. They investigate after being hired by a woman named Dana, who has encountered an entity in her refrigerator that calls out the name Zuul. While the Ghostbusters are overrun with jobs elsewhere, Dana becomes possessed by Zuul, and her neighbor Louis similarly becomes possessed by an entity called Vinz.
The music for Ghostbusters was composed by Elmer Bernstein.
Star Wars IV: A New Hope was the first movie in the immensely popular Star Wars franchise, which spans movies, series, and books. Its title was originally merely Star Wars, but when its scope was raised by the addition of sequels and then prequels, the title was retroactively changed. The storyline of this film follows Luke Skywalker, who's coming of age on a backwater planet, unknowingly being hidden from the villainous Darth Vader. However, when the rebel leader Princess Leia is captured by the Galactic Empire, Luke Skywalker acquires stolen architectural plans for the Death Star and sets out to rescue her, all while learning the ways of a metaphysical power known as "the Force" from the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The score for this movie was written by John Williams.
