    1492: Conquest of Paradise. Very few people remember the movie (I still do and rewatch it regularly), but the soundtrack by Vangelis is an absolute banger. In general, his soundtracks tend to be better than the movies. Alexander is another great example. Chariots of Fire and Bounty are fine movies, but still greatly enhanced by his soundtracks. Perhaps the only movie that stood on its own against a soundtrack by Vangelis was Blade Runner.

    It's a terrible film but there's a bit I love in 1492: Conquest of Paradise where a disgraced Columbus is being taunted by a naysayer and he says "That's all very well but the fact remains... I went and you didn't." (You have to mentally bracket the fact that the real Columbus was an evil monster.)

    If someone said "Brain Donors", I'd nod and agree that could be the worst movie someone had seen. Brain Candy, I wouldn't put anywhere near worst. 1492: Conquest of Paradise is probably the worst movie I've seen. Even more so, because I saw it for free in the theater.

    It's not a good movie, but 1492: The Conquest of Paradise did also did this with Gerard Depardieu's (playing the Genoise Christopher Columbus) natural French accent setting him apart from the Spanish & Portuguese sailors he's voyaging with.

    PPS this film has a bizarre historical inaccuracy that it shares with Ridley Scott's terrible 1492: there are LLAMAS. Llamas being a New World animal that did not exist on that side of the world until AFTER COLUMBUS. (in 1492 we see them in Spain, but before Columbus sets out on the voyage)

    #3 Pale Conquerors IMO putting aside the different era vibe, I feel like this should have been the central theme in the 1492 movie. However, given Vangelis did the original soundtrack, it could be argued the "futuristic" vibe coincides with the decade the movie was made xD

    Two things for supposed "Colombus Day". First, skip the movie *1492: Conquest of Paradise*. It's a homage to the "Colombus Myth" and fictitious to the point of being harmful. Second, though, the soundtrack by legendary Greek composer Vangelis is straight-up fire🔥so maybe check that out instead

    I dozed off during 1492, and it was the last first-run Ridley Scott film I saw in the theater until PROMETHEUS in 2012, which wasn't very scintillating either. Anyway, 1492 is 154 minutes long. Wanna know what 154 minutes is? Just over two and a half hours, not "Just Over 2 Hours."
