Quentin Tarantino has long earned well-deserved fame thanks to the dynamic plots of his films, but few people know how meticulously the director approaches the smallest details of each of his projects.
Thus, Tarantino pays special attention to the music that will sound in the background, and over time, the director began to notice soundtracks in the works of his colleagues. Nevertheless, Tarantino's favorite among the musical themes remains the one that sounded in the war drama released more than 40 years ago.
Quentin Tarantino considers the soundtrack of Under Fire by Roger Spottiswoode the best in the history of cinema. A film that should definitely not be confused with the film of the same name by Alex Garland, which was released on screens just a few days ago, Under Fire by Roger Spottiswoode is also a war drama, but it tells about completely different events. The film, released in 1983, is based on the true events that happened to war journalist Bill Stewart before he was killed by the Nicaraguan National Guard in 1979.
Although Under Fire ultimately flopped at the box office, the film still gained several loyal fans, including Tarantino, although the director was more interested in the musical component of the film. In one of his interviews, Tarantino admitted that he considers the title theme, written by Jerry Goldsmith, to be the best soundtrack in the history of cinema, according to the director, the music captivates the viewer from the first seconds of sound and ultimately "gets stuck" in the head for a long time.
Tarantino's hit action movie once won an Oscar for its music
Obviously, the director can be considered a pro when it comes to choosing a musical accompaniment — or a good composer. Back in 2015, Tarantino released one of his biggest hits, the detective western The Hateful Eight, for which the music was written by none other than the legendary composer and conductor Ennio Morricone.
The film subsequently won all the most prestigious awards for best film score, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe.
