Do yourself a favor. Watch any movie that strikes you as epic, emotional, or touching. Then listen closely to the music soundtrack of the movie as you watch. Almost every great movie has a memorable soundtrack. Now, if you do some research on that movie soundtrack, there is a good chance one man was behind it all. His name is Hans Zimmer. No man may ever be able to touch the movie viewer like Zimmer does ever again. No movie would be half as good as it is without its music, and having Hans Zimmer compose the soundtrack is a double plus. Have you ever seen the movie Inception, Lion King, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Last Samurai, The Rock, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pearl Harbor (there are many more)? The soundtracks of these movies were all composed by Hans Zimmer. I will bet you would not have appreciated the movies that he worked on that you saw half as much if he was not involved in them. He is a musical genious. It is as if he reads the emotions in the film and turns them into another language. The music.

Walking out of a theater that just played a movie with his music usually wants to make me go on an epic journey, run through a battle field getting lit up by dozens of bullets while doing something heroic, cry, and love.

I am not saying that there are no other great composers out there. Don't get me wrong, James Horner, Steve Jablonsky, and others are all great musical artists, but Zimmer tops them all.

So go ahead. Go through your movie collections, look at the credits. When you see "Music Composed by Hans Zimmer" or "Original Score by Hans Zimmer," you know where you heard it from.
