	Conan the Barbarian
		There isn't really anything more I can say to stress how brilliant this score is. In no uncertain terms, Conan the Barbarian is an essential addition to any self-respecting film music fan's collection and, in my opinion, is one of the greatest film scores of the eighties.
		Conan the Barbarian is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive scores I have ever heard.
		The soundtrack was released twice, first in 1982 as an accompaniment to the film on the Milan label, and then again by Varèse in 1989 with approximately twenty minutes of extra music, and I strongly urge you to seek out the latter release at any cost.

	CONAN THE BARBARIAN
		Robert E. Howard's pulp Sword and Sorcery hero, well-known to generations of Marvel comic book readers, Conan The Barbarian (played perfectly by Arnold Schwarzenegger in one of his earliest roles) makes it to the big screen.
		Description: To avenge the murder of his parents, Conan tracks down the evil Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) with the help of Queen Valeria (played by buff B-movie vixen Sandahl Bergman) and Subotai the Mongol (Gerry Lopez).
		But the film (directed by John Milius, co-screenwriter of Apocalypse Now) could have done with some tighter editing since it is overlong and tends to drag.

		Posted by: lizardfreak12 at July 18, 2005 03:04 AM I had read and I also believe it is in the directors and Arnold commentary on the special edition dvd of Conan The Barbarian that Arnold was going to do King Conan.

		This new edition of Conan the Barbarian serves up the best quality yet, the picture is slightly better due to the special features being on a seperate disc, but the main improvement is the sound.
		Years after the brutal murder of his parents, Conan the Barbarian sets out on a perilous quest for vengeance on the evil Thulsa Doom.

		The Barbarian Librarian [28] is a rather strange little site merely content with showing a real-life librarian who likes to eschew 'normal' work attire to dress as a, erm, barbarian.
		This eminently readable piece considers the concept of stereotyping, the tasks undertaken by librarians on the screen, the qualities of typical male and female library workers in film, and librarianship in comedy, thriller and fantasy genres.
		Dan, The Ska Librarian [42], may be alternatively known as 'the librarian that looks like a big skinhead who will eat my child', but he still refers to his library (the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts) with affection as an 'amazing resource'.

	Conan The Destroyer
		The plot of "Conan the Destroyer" is considerably better than its predecessor, "Conan the Barbarian" (1982), which simply had Conan avenging the deaths of his parents.
		I commented on the humor in "Conan the Barbarian." There is humor in "Conan the Destroyer," too, but it seems forced, and most of the jokes fall flat.
