Movie soundtracks!

Did you know movie soundtracks came from classical music?

Korngold, Prokofiev...

OG, Stravinsky.

So today's video,

we're going to be ranking definitive tier list of...

the quality...

and the impact...

and the artistry...

of classic movie soundtracks.

We're definitely gonna offend a lot of people.

It's just a casual YouTube video.

It... it's just a personal opinion.

- We're trying not to be too strict. - Eddy: It's personal opinion.

- Yeah, yeah. - Just, look...

Everyone's subject to their own taste.

- Yeah. - Uh, just, just...

Now the disclaimer is out of the way,

let's check out some movie music.

- First one. - First one.

What is that?

Eddy: "The James Bond Theme."

I just realised...

this video is gonna get hard copystrike, no?

Actually,

we invite EVERY SINGLE cinematic company

to copystrike this video.

Please.

Please!

Suck the life blood out of our bodies.

We're charity!

ARGHHHH!!

CHARITY! ARGH!!

Take it!

TAKE IT!!!

Editor-san can decide whether...

this video will be copystriked or not.

Editor-san, you're also gonna...

- It's okay. - It's okay. I mean...

- It's iconic. - I think- Yeah, that's what I think.

That- It's got like iconic points.

To be honest, if it was-

If I heard this theme outside the context of James Bond,

I'd think it's pretty annoying.

No offence.

Sorry, guys.

But I feel like it's got this old-school,

1990s, kind of...

- Well, I don't know when it came out, you know. That kinda... - Yeah...

I'd give it a B, for Bond.

- The one that copied my composition. - Yeah!

What? Why did you laugh!?

- You threw me off! - That's Up.

- Is it? - Shaun: Yeah.

Brett: Dude, it sounds exactly...

Can I copystrike Up?

- Oh, I like that. - Yeah.

- I like it. - I like it. I'd say it's like...

- up there from A or S. - Yeah.

It's a very pleasant orchestration.

I was saying.

I like the orchestration, how it goes from...

intimate, the solo trumpet muted...

solo violin...

You can hear almost the slight imperfections.

Whimsical.

And then...

- the orchestra comes in. - Yeah.

And the harp just...

Brett: Whoa, let's go with A for now.

- 'Cause we haven't seen the others yet. - That's because then we can't go up anymore.

- Yeah. - He he he. Get it?

Suck 'em out! Strike that joke!

- Alright, next one. - Next one is...

Eddy: "(Japanese) Weathering with You."

Bro, 12 million views!

That's insane!

I... I like it.

But I mean I'm biased.

'Cause I'm like an anime weeb, so I don't know.

- It's okay for me. - Yeah.

I like the "du-dududu" in the begining.

Yeah...

But I think when the voice came,

it was just a little bit too abrupt.

- It gets better. - ♪ Go... ♪

It gets better.

♪ Let's go ♪

It's better than the James Bond one.

Oh, for sure, bro!

- I wouldn't listen to James Bond. - I think James Bond should go down actually.

I feel like it's an A.

'Cause just in c-

S is like...

I felt like you were gonna put it on B,

- so I dragged it to S, so then it becomes A. - Oh right!

Yeah, yeah, no, no, no.

Next!

Eddy: Oh, Twilight?!

TWILIGHT?!!

Oh my god, suck my blood.

YEAH, SUCK MY BLOOD! TAKE IT OUT! TAKE TAJDSKGJK!!

"Bella Swan..."

- Ha ha ha, what the... - Wait, have you not seen it?

- Nah. - That's literally how she acts.

- The main character- - Oh that's probably why I haven't seen it.

Just 'cause I was gonna be like...

- "Ugh!" - really triggered watching it.

"This hot vampire!"

Oh, I remember it's a TikTok song that was trending.

This bit, right?

Okay.

I wish you didn't tell me 'cause I feel like...

the TikTok thing killed it for me.

I don't mind it.

I don't mind it.

- It's a bit of a basic use, like, of piano. - I was gonna say.

B or C for me.

Let's just... go with...

B for now, like just.

B for Bella Swan!

- Brett: Like just. - Eddy: Oh okay, "Titanic."

- Okay, we don't need to hear that. - It's pretty epic.

I'd say A or S...

- It's not my type of thing, but it's just pretty iconic. - Yeah.

A, A, A...

Because also Titanic was like-

No offence, again.

Disclaimer.

- It's like, it's on borderline cheesy for me. - Yeah.

- Ah yeah. - 'Cause it's played so much.

You're like, "Oh okay..."

It is pretty epic.

Okay, nah... that's epic!

See, this is like it's...

- everyone plays it, but it's still epic. - Yeah.

Maybe S...

- I definitely would rank it above these three though for sure. - Yes, yes.

- Let's put... okay. - Put S for now?

- First S, first S. Yeah. - For now.

- 'Cause we're going by like, left to right, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I like it.

Oh!

I know this!

I've heard this before.

Okay.

Now that's pretty epic.

- How do you reckon? - Yeah, that's like...

A, I think.

I think this was written outside the context of the movie.

- I think they just bought the license to use it in the movie. - Bought...

- Oh...! - I think.

Nice!

- A. Oh, there's Up... - A.

- They're both about the same. - Okay.

- Okay. Up stays... - Yeah, they're both pretty epic.

- I feel like we need to downgrade it. - Yeah, that's what I mean. I feel like-

Yup.

Yup.

Yup, yup.

Depends which song from Lion King.

'Cause some of it is epic, some of it is just like...

Eh.

Just as a piece of music

it's not something I would listen to.

But!

If you think of it in the context of how it fits the movie...

Yeah, I was just about to say.

So I think that's what a soundtrack is first and foremost meant to do.

- It's meant to complement the movie. - That's true, yeah!

It's not just- You don't really just listen-

- Yeah. - It helps enhance the movie, right?

- So in that sense, I think it's really good. - Yeah.

A?

A, yeah, definitely A.

It's not like, I would like-

While I'm in a car or bus, I would go...

Maybe.

It feels very basic.

B for me.

Actually no, it should be C.

'Cause the anime was there.

I mean, the Twilight was pretty good as well.

- It just feels- There's nothing special about it. - That's true. Yeah, I was gonna say, it's like...

Greatest showman,

but not the greatest sound- Nah, just k-

Eddy: I'm kidding!

Alright, I know there's a huge...

musical group of you out there.

- I'm sorry. - Brett: Next one.

- Yeah okay, done. - We don't even need to listen.

Yeah, no, no- Nah-

You can't object, nope!

Like, every s- Oh!

- Everything. *kiss* - Oh... That is the best!

I reckon who- that the composer...

and the director...

They must've been just like...

- They're great. - ...possessed by something when they made it.

Oh nice!

Okay, okay, look.

It's tricky now 'cause we're talking about Beethoven.

Alright, see, the thing is I haven't seen this movie,

- Yeah. - so I don't know how it fits the movie.

So I can only judge based on the piece of music.

- Okay, then it's- - Yeah.

- So clearly it's just- Yeah. - Yeah...

- Godfather! - Ooh, I've played this one.

Yeah, it's like, "Whoa..."

"The mafia!"

"Romance!"

It's like...

you're being seduced by like...

drugs and money.

It's alright. I feel like it's a B.

- Yeah. Top 3. - Top 3. I can't decide.

Let's say- uh...

- You decide. - I'd say a B for now.

Eddy: Ha! Avengers!

Okay no, let me listen.

Yeah, come on, bro.

Like...

Don't get me wrong. I love the movies.

I feel sorry for the violins.

...for like 2 hours, bro.

If you just try your best take away kinda like...

what- your- you know, the association with Marvel,

- Yeah. - then it just becomes...

And add like, another layer.

- Yeah! - And it's like, "Okay..."

Yeah, it's just, it's just...

It would work in any action movie.

There's nothing...

- special that makes it Avengers. - Yeah.

Don't get me wrong.

You just- You don't know Avengers for the soundtrack.

Yeah okay, let's put it on D.

Yeah...

- Yeah. - No... I think people will kill us.

- Insurance! - Yeah, ha ha ha!

I know people love this movie.

Eddy: "Star Wars."

A. Star Wars is pretty epic.

Nah, just kidding!

It's Shrek, man!

Come on, that's top-

That's better than Beethoven.

Again, I guess it's kinda like-

Yes, B or C. I think...

It works and it became a meme.

- There's some- - B, okay, B, B, okay, okay!

- There's something to be said about that. - Yeah.

- A? - A. I think it's A.

- I... I guess it's Ponyo. That's like a very kid- - It's...

- It's not my thing. - Yeah.

Yeah.

- Pretty up there. Nice. - Yeah...

Oh, tsk!

Look, I love musicals, but...

Actually, jokes! I don't love musicals.

I lied.

Okay, but actually this one I like.

I like this one.

Okay, it's a lot better.

It's a lot better than The Greatest-

I mean, I didn't say it.

I'd say it's B or A.

B.

Yeah, it's like high B.

- High B? - Yeah, very high B.

That's like James Bond, man.

Nah, just go D.

Look, I get it.

It works for what it is.

D, yeah.

Ooh, I can't remember. How does that go again?

- That's pretty epic! - It's like B or A... B!

Yeah, B.

Oh, that's A, S, A, S...

Whoa...
