My favourite book or film

I think that I don´t have just one favorite film. I just enjoy some kind of film and I always try to have a great time in cinema. I read some books at school, and I remember some of them but I really enjoy other kinds of books. I like, for example, biographical and historical books and films. I think because, in some way, I can keep and connect real known facts that I have studied, with the fictional ones on the film.

Forrest Gump, The Elephant Man, Immortal Beloved, Waterloo, The Mission, Mishima are just a few very good examples of what I´m talking about.


But, once again, and due the talented and emotional compositions for cinema, there are many films that I really love its music. Composers like, John Williams, John Barry, Alan Silvestri, Ennio Morricone, Basil Poledouris, Danny Elfmann, Philip Glass, Nino Rota, and many others, have made real artwork films through their compositions.




I think one good example is the film 1981´s “Conan the barbarian”.
The composer of the film was Basil Poledouris. The film, itself, doesn´t have many dialogs, so the music is of great importance for keeping the line of history.


Of course I enjoy entertainment epic films for cinema, like Star wars and Lord of the Rings, where the music, again is an important factor of it success.
