  • I think that music from devil's advocate is the best from all of this

  • I love gravel road from Village Movie

  • James Newton Howard... I LOVE him since PEter Pan came out. His music is breathtaking and true! Defiance was amazing!!! I haven't disliked any of his compositions yet... and I don't think I ever will!!!

  • what a brilliant mind he must be!

  • where is Blood Dsaimons?//

  • I love James newton howards work so much! Wich i could buy (or download) all of hsi tracks at once, wana listen to it more then just youtube xD. It's just so good!

  • Ennio Morricone is number 1 NO WAY

  • Our modern day Mozart. JN Howard is just brilliant

  • Can anyone tell me the name of the composer or even the movie this song was originally in??? Youtube won't let me put in the weblink to the youtube video, but if you seach "Go by Jackie Pullinger" <- it's the music playing this background! It's bugging me so much.

    I'm not sure if it's James Howard Newton or hans zimmer or who!

  • Blood Diamond is a beautiful Soundtrack

  • The music from I Am Legend is amazing!

  • Howard is a new composer to me. Writes good stuff.

    If you like the scores of John Williams, you might want to check out

    the music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold. The theme from Star Wars is

    a quote from Korngold's film Kings Row.

    It was made in the 1940s. One of the stars was Ronald Raegan.

    Tnx 4 posting.

  • PEOPLE - Hans Zimmer & John Williams are both amazing composers - if you listen to their stuff, a lot of it sounds similar e.g for John Williams, it's Superman & Star Wars (i think their both ingenious, but you've got to admit, they do sound a bit similar!) and for Hans Zimmer an example is POTC Gladiator (again, both amazing, but they do sound similar). so PLEASE stop fighting about them - they are both fantastic composers, neither are overrated. NOW James Newton Howard - he's amazing too!! x

  • What's the African type of song by Howard?! You know the "shalalalaaa..." etc. Somebody help! Can't find in anywhere

  • @LocoGroove  It is called ''London'' from Blood Diamond's soundtrack

  • @sayenshin Thank you VERY much, appreciated!!!

  • @LocoGroove my pleasure!

  • Well, John isn't because he kind of wrote music for some of the most successful films in history, so he deserves good recognition. And I HATE Hans Zimmer's music, he is definitely overrated.

  • yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Atlantis! :D @Winduct and Danny Elfman, Philip Glass, Harry Gregson-Williams, Dario Marianelli, James Horner, John Powell, Klaus Badelt, Thomas Newman, Craig Armstrong, Howard Shore, Clint Mansell, Alan Menken, Alan Silvestri and of course John Williams. Just saying... James Newton-Howard and Hans Zimmer aren't the only good composers, y'know. Tbh, they're a bit overrated, well, Zimmer is.

  • @TheEvanescent1994 They aren't overrated, John Williams is.

  • James Newton Howard is amazing !!

  • Wonderful Music. I feel deeply touched. Thank you.

  • California, y a la Escuela de Música Colburn de la Universidad del Sur de California. Completó su educación oficial estudiando bajo la tutela del legendario arreglista Marty Paich. !!En una palabra !! Un Grande..

  • Es uno de los compositores más versátiles y prolíficos de Hollywood con más de 90 películas en su haber. Ha obtenido seis nominaciones a un Premio de la Academia, dos nominaciones a un Globo de Oro, y una nominación a un Grammy. Howard asistió a la Academia de Música del Oeste en Santa Barbara,

  • Awesome !!

  • you the movie intersection.

  • From which movie is the first song? It's not on "The emperor's club" soundtrack!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @karvaliok Yes it is.

  • Another thing: what was the title of the track you used from Atlantis? I've been listening to tracks from the cd on this site and none of them carry that glorious theme you've included in this medley.

  • @BloodylocksBathory The one from Atlantis is called "The Submarine". The entire OST is here on Youtube just search for it :)

  • @CaninesRock Thanks. Going through so many tracks I must have somehow whooshed right past it.

  • Atlantis was a terrible film, but Howard is ever so dependable. His score for it is amazing. Also, the more I listen to his score on Peter Pan the more I love it. And I Am Legend was so beautifully sad. I almost want to see Perfect Murder from Howard's work alone.

  • I am legend is the best :(

  • ich Liebe diese music

  • where can i find more of 'outbreak' soundtrack?

  • Search it on Youtube, I'm sure you'll find some great results!

  • i LOVE flying from peter pan so much!

  • @megfitz92 yeah me 2!!

  • James Newton Howard remains my favorite composer, and I do have a lot of Hans Zimmer albums too. :) I think Hans Zimmer tends to repeat a lot of his scores more than others, I still love how it brings the power to whatever movie hes doing.

    For James, I love how all of his music is different but still the same. I think some of them contrast a lot, like the Blood Diamond soundtrack is one of my faves!

  • Hans Zimmer did MW2. Enough said.

  • @nrgp00nage Really? I didn't know that! Wow, I'll check out the soundtrack :)

  • Its the best OST ever.

  • @nrgp00nage yes...awesome game with awesome soundtrack..

  • GREAT composer!!! =D

  • peter pan.

  • blood diamond the best part

  • Comment removed

  • hihetetlen

  • he is fantastic.....

  • James Newton Howard + Hans Zimmer = Ultimate Masterpiece of the Gods

  • @Winduct AGREE :X:X: HANS ZIMMER RULES :X

  • @Winduct dont foreget howard shore!

  • @Winduct I would agree with that... if John Williams wasn't 100 times better than both of them combined.

  • @DerekVids I still like Hans

  • @Winduct James Newton Hward + Hans Zimmer = Batman soundtracks !!!

  • James Newton Howard The Greatest!

  • Hmmm cannot say he is the greatest dude, I think he is a copy of Hans Zimmer and John Williams and Danny Elfman are way more original.

    Still it is my personal opinion

  • Hans Zimmer is the greatest film composer of all time. Danny Elfman does great work, but his music seems to always be in a specific genre, whereas James Newton Howard has incredible range in regards to styles. John Williams's been living off the fame from Jurassic Park, Star Wars, & Indiana Jones, & hasn't done anything noteworthy or even pleasant to listen to since. Actually, his greatest soundtrack is for Space Camp - check it out. But he's not the greatest, despite all the undue plaudits.

  • @ThirdCultureKidTCK Hans zimmer might be great but he is also credited for stuff he didn't have shit to do with: like the blackhawk theme song gortoz a ran. Hans gets inspired by others too, when i listen to the structure of that last Samurai theme song I can clearly hear that he studied adagio for strings properly. So stop sucking dick!

  • "Lesser artists borrow, great composers steal" - Igor Stravinsky. Come on, Stephen Jablonsky stole the Transformer's theme from Hans Zimmer's Arthur. The Man On Fire soundtrack is a takeoff on the Gladiator theme. Danny Elfman reworks Tchaikowsky. All the classical composers were inspired by their predecessors. It's the nature of the art, nothing particularly shocking.

  • OK... fair enough! But Hans Zimmer is certainly not the best, James Horner is at his level.

  • A Youtuber concending a point - I applaud you, you've proved you're more mature than the majority of commenters.

    Of course I entirely disagree with James Horner being put in the same league as anyone, I can't stand most of his work, but to each their own. I'd be remiss to argue with your music tastes or opinions, you're entitled to them. My question is who is your favorite composer? I love discovering new music.

  • I don' t have a favorite composer because people are simply not that great. I just love certain pieces people have composed over the years. I don't like all of James Horner's stuf either just like I do not like all of hans zimmer' s. If you want to hear some other stuff listen to erik mongrain' s or antoine dufour' s music. Just because your ears love some coposer' s music better does not mean that that person is actually the best out there!

  • You could have put the music of The village ( from Night Shyamalan) which is one of the best BO of James Newton Howard !

  • Yeah I agree. This was the greatest movie sound track of all time.

  • whats the track from blood diamond?

  • london- james newton howard.

    this guy makes millions each year, he has a true talent.

  • Oh, I mean Hiyao Miyazaki* my bad <_<

  • im 12 i was introduced to him in peter pan and i was hooked on his music from then on.

  • i like this guy

  • i fell in love with james newton howards music from the i am legend score. oh my god its beautiful and intensely awesome all at once.

  • It was King Kong that did it for me. Now that's a moving soundtrack.

  • first got into james newton howards music when i watched the absolutly perfect UNBREAKABLE. the soundtrack to that sends chills

  • What about King Kong ?

  • It reminds me vaguely of some of Howard Shore's pieces.

    But he definitely has an uncanny way of adding so much pent up emotion to his music, especially the dark and scary stuff. But I wouldn't mind listening to some of his lighter pieces. I do however love what he did with Harvey Two-face's theme in the Dark Knight. Probably my favorite of his works

  • James also recorded a CD with the Band ToTo, but only with all keyboards in the 1980's. It is a jazzy type fusion recording. It's called James newton Howard and Friends. Anybody ever heard it?

  • god must come out of him when he is composing. amazing.

  • from this collection:

    1.I am legend

    2.Blood diamond

    3.the devils advocae

  • you totally forgot his greatest work ever....the village

  • don't forget, he has to keep it uner 10 minutes, and its already at 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

    But yeah, the Village music tops the rest. I heard the James Newton Howard is doing the music for the new Avatar movie?

  • I didn't forgot. The Village music was in "James Newton Howard - Greatest Hits, but youtube removed. Don't forget this is "More Greatest Hits".

  • @turquoise287

    Dinosaur was even better than the Village!

  • Love this!

    my favorite of these themes is the "I am legend theme"

  • The I I'am Legend was sad :(

    and yeah where id Signs???

    that one was a BIG hit to. well.. I LOVED it xP

  • Ummm no SIGNS?????

  • It isn't that I don't love James Newton Howard(I own four of his soundtracks), but he is far from the best. His contributions have been great, but what about American Beauty, Braveheart, Chinatown, Doctor Zhivago, ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, The Godfather, Gone With The Wind, High Noon, Jaws, Laura, Lawrence Of Arabia, The Magnificent Seven, The Omen, Planet Of The Apes, Psycho, Schindler's List, Star Wars, or even Titanic? You all might really enjoy some of these classics if you heard them.

  • titanic was james horner.

  • They're all by different composers! James Newton Howard wasn't even alive when Gone With The Wind was written by Max Steiner.  American Beauty is by Thomas Newman, Braveheart is by James Horner, and so on. My point was that James Newton Howard, although a wonderful and very noteworthy composer, isn't the "best" in the history of cinema. That title would probably have to go to Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alfred Newman, Max Steiner, or Jerry Goldsmith from the view of a critic.

  • dont forget joe hisaishi. he does all the music for the mayazaki movies. his music is as brilliant as the illustrations. really makes a movie. :]

  • Thank U! I never knew what that composer's name was! I love Mayazakis work! :D

  • yeah! XD and apparently they're best friends. its the cutest thing.

  • Forgive me. I'm not as literate about films from other countries. That is a habit that I will have to break.

  • oh no, thats cool. he's a japanese filmmaker that has most of him movies playing in the U.S. you should see some of them, they're really good!

  • i like james newton howard hes my 3rd favorite composer of all time...

  • Who's your top two?

  • James Horner

  • He is simply superb in Michael Clayton....I loved him in it......

  • yes

  • is he american?

  • Yes he is........

  • Great theatrical music enhances the cinematic experience much like fine spices bring out the subtle flavors of food. Music give us the cues to know when to be happy, sad, frightened, excited, amazed, suspenseful, startled, or inspired--all the emotions that would otherwise be lost to silence. I'm always amazed by Howard and other great composers that have the ability to tap into the human condition. They mine a weath of material that makes us all feel things that might be totally foreign to us.

  • I am legend, Sam's gone... enough said

  • i like the music he composed for 'dinosaur' too , too bad it isn't in this video

  • Howard is a GeniuS! Best composer!

  • I LOVED the scores for I AM LEGEND.

    Howard is a genius beyond our generation.

  • he s THE BEST... the music of I m a legend is the best omg ..only lord of the rings music can defeat it in my opinion

  • Blood Diamond!!

  • this guy is a genius!

  • the soundtracks from peter pan are the best compositions i´ve ever heard..when i hear this i really feel like i´m dreamin...

  • they are my favourite!!! =P

  • wow he's amazing!

    i love them all but the peter pan music is my favorite!

  • i am legend....the best

  • what about treasure planet?

  • he is awesome!!!
