    Love this film score. It truly feels "western" and "adventure movie" all in one.

    This is one of my favorite film scores. It honors the best traditions of musical film scores and really captures the spirit of the picture.

    This reminds me of a road trip with my father. We saw Ten Commandments and Quigley down under, his favorite films. Long story short, reminds me of my dad, and what I think he saw as a true inspiration for being a man. To this day, I tear up thinking about my dad who got deported, showed me a love for film, but also miss him very much. We don’t talk much but the fact I can remember him spiritually through this soundtrack truly shows how powerful art/film/music can truly send us back in time to great memories.

    Wow! Basil Poledouris slapped on a 10 gallon hat, a pair of spurs and took us to the Land Down Under by way of the Wild West?! It's great hear that he was more than just russian submarines, troopers in space, and barbarians. An all around great score that sounds epic, and fun to listen to. Thanks for the upload.

      His first western work was the classic Lonesome Dove miniseries in 1989. Check that out if you like this. There are tremendous themes in that. And of course Robocop in 1987, which brought surprising emotional gravitas to the material.

    Starring Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman “Quigley Down Under” is an enjoyable western but not that typical, as set in Australia. Although having a few silly moments the plot was partly more serious than one would expect from it. Basil Poledouris provided a wonderful score with a really fun main theme for Matthew Quigley, referring to the composition style of Elmer Bernstein. Enjoy!

    • @chrisj2539

    Hey Fred, Quigley Down Under has to be one your best assembled suites I have heard. I say this because I was the Editor and 2nd Unit director on QDU and worked closely with Basil Poledouris, who created a western classic score. I temp scored the movie with pieces from 2 of his previous soundtracks - Lonesome Dove - Farewell to the King - and one track from Elmer Bernstein's Amazing Grace & Chuck [inspiration for the moment Quigley learns from the Aborigines]. Basil was impressed with how well they played in a different movie because they conveyed the spirit I wanted and man, he took these cues and reinvented them, taking them far beyond by injecting new life into one.

      Hello Adrian, nice to meet you!
      That's a nice insight you gave from making the movie. The connection from QDU and some Bernstein-esque materials and colors are undeniable, in a positive sense, of course. Always enjoyed Poledouris music.
      All the best!
