twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter 1 2 Legendary music composer Hans Zimmer recently looked back at his long and successful career during a fun and thoughtful interview. Zimmer ranked some of his most famous film scores and surprised fans with his humble attitude—especially when he spoke about his work on Interstellar during his conversation with Reece Feldman . Zimmer started by comparing his iconic scores from 'The Lion King '(1994) and 'Pirates of the Caribbean ' (2003).
Although many fans might have guessed he would pick the exciting pirate adventure, Zimmer chose The Lion King as his favorite. He shared that he didn’t originally want to work on the animated film, but it ended up touching him deeply. He revealed that the story’s focus on a father’s death brought up memories of his own father, who passed away when he was only six.
Writing the music helped him deal with emotions he had never fully processed before. He also mentioned that the music was written for his daughter, which made the project even more special. Next, 'The Lion King' was up against 'Inception' (2010).
Zimmer picked 'Inception,' calling it another major achievement. Then came 'Interstellar' (2014), and this score topped even Inception in Zimmer’s personal ranking. When asked to compare it with his more recent work on Dune, Zimmer simply said, “I’m not done with Dune yet,” showing that he still sees room to grow.
When 'Interstellar' was compared to his earlier work on 'Thelma & Louise' (1991), Zimmer was still stuck with Interstellar. He admitted that it was one of the few times he felt proud of his work. In his own words, he said, “It’s one of the few movies where I’m going, actually.
.. I think I did okay.
” This modest statement left fans both shocked and amused, especially considering that many people consider the Interstellar score a masterpiece. On social media, fans reacted with excitement and disbelief. One Instagram user commented, “You did OKAY? That was a masterpiece,” adding several fire emojis.
Another joked, “I did ok omg hahahaha he doesn’t even realize haha.” Many fans praised Zimmer’s high standards and appreciated how down-to-earth he remains, despite his incredible success. Others shared how much emotion Interstellar brought them, with one fan saying, “Still can’t fathom how folks can legit call this movie COLD when it has maybe the MOST emotion in a Nolan movie EVER.
” Zimmer also mentioned his other popular works, like 'Sherlock Holmes' (2009), calling it one of his favorites. But in the end, it was 'The Dark Knight ' (2008) that Zimmer ranked as the ultimate winner. His collaboration with director Christopher Nolan on the Batman trilogy has become a classic example of how music and storytelling can come together in unforgettable ways.
Through it all, Zimmer’s humble nature and love for music stood out. Even when the world praises his work as groundbreaking and emotional, he still sees himself as someone who is always learning and improving..
