Just a few of my favorite film scores include Star Wars, pretty much any Christopher Nolan movie score but especially Interstellar, Inception and Tenet, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and of course my all time favorite soundtrack, TRON: Legacy.

And of course I have to honor the amazing composers behind these amazing albums as well. The absolute legend, the Maestro himself, John Williams. And perhaps the second best to do it, Hans Zimmer, who along with Ludwig Göransson help create my favorite parts of Nolan films. And it's not a movie but Göransson's soundtrack for The Mandalorian is phenomenal. On the subject of Star Wars shows I have to mention Nicholas Britell and Kevin Kiner. The Kiners are the true successors to John Williams' Star Wars legacy. And of course Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese created the soundscape that is Tron, and Trapanese did it again with M83 on Oblivion. I could go on but my last two favorite film composers would be Klaus Badelt and Nathan Furst. Badelt of course did the first Pirates of the Caribbean (though Zimmer often gets credit for all of those films) and he also did one of my personal favorite movies, ExtremeDays. And Nathan Furst just went way too hard for the third BIONICLE direct to DVD movie. I mean, that Web of Shadows soundtrack is solid!

Here's a playlist of a lot of my favorite soundtracks, mostly in a similar vibe so not every Williams score is in there:

Hidden Strike (2023)

Directed by Scott Waugh

This is a suite I wrote years ago out of BIONICLE music -- from the movies, the games and the episodes -- for an odd, thrown-together orchestra. I have posted this online before on different websites.

Original music by Nathan Furst, Templar Studios and probably more people, arrangement by me.

This is rendered MIDI. I did get the chance to perform this once, but I only have a very bad recording of it.
