I love this tune. The bittersweet 80s...young love and the threat of nuclear annihilation. My two preoccupations back then!
The threat is still there
Yes it sure is! February 2022 Putin’s invasion of Ukraine! Scorched earth policy. Monster!
So much beautiful nostalgia. I can't believe it's been 32 years. It still seems like yesterday!
Rachael Myers Simply amazing, wonderfull memories......
i wish i was there when the movie came out
Now its 36 years lol
@@AnimationAirlines oh my I went to see it with my dad one afternoon. I was....12 . great movie ... The Theater and dad ...are gone now.
@@notaclerk1 Good memory you have.
I’ve always loved this song yet it somehow makes me feel a little melancholy. I wonder why.
Agree. Fit the movie perfectly.
Kind of fitting today too.
@@CartersvilleFan I wholeheartedly agree.
Probably because of the chords it uses :D
Maybe little melancholy because you just how easily it would be for military war machines could kill 88% of the life on earth.
I wish I could go home to the '80s I really hate the now, really wish I could just go home to the 80s I always love this song really makes me miss home
I always tell people that War Games shows one of the most accurate depictions of hacking ever filmed.
It shows an awkward young teenage boy sitting around in his bedroom in the dark in his underwear all day doing research and trying new things online so he can pwn something while entire other portions of his life pass him by.
Yep, it's an obsession. Learning and understanding a system so well that you can actually exploit it.
Wonderful theme,it makes me so happy and calm.Movies like this aren't made anymore.
It makes me sway.
Greetings, Professor Falken. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
love the single note harmonica. Love that in music....when the melody is nostalgic with the harmonica....single note though....
I was 12 years old. Brings back my youth. A care free time in my life. I get that feeling back by listening to this. Wow.
Sadness, Triumph and Uncertainty in one musical piece. This is one of the best ending soundtracks to a movie ever made.
"This corn is raw!"
I'm 45 with kids now. And to *this* day I make a point to butter my corn that way just to make the kids watch and comment. To boot, it works well too!
I find myself whistling this quite often... No one knows where it comes from at my school lol.
which means: you're the only cool kid
Same
It's such a strange song. It has this military drum march, this melancholy melody with a touch of carnival music. Somehow it works though.
@@TheIndependentLens Exactlly . Perfect description. It does work. I love it.
Heres a cleaner version ruclips.net/video/9bufUJkLTQg/видео.html
Love this movie when I was a kid, when I was in high school I didn't even know I was at the same school where they shot the scene Ally Sheedy picking up Matthew Broderick on her moped
Gundo!
One of most beautiful musical symphonic pieces used for a movie.
I loved the accent and automated voice used for the computer. One of my favorite rerun movie to watch with my two sons. Then with my youngest. I felt the actor that played Professor Steven Falken convincingly conveyed the sense of futility. Perhaps every parent thinks about what the effects of realities of life would be like in the future? I can relate to his pain, loneliness, and lingering grief over the loss of his wife and son. I know he felt the world would have been a better place; had Joshua grown up in it. I am crying now as I leave this comment. Only my oldest son that was born the year this movie came out is alive out of my four children. He's shared that same sense of dread over the evils in his decision about wanting to have kids.
A superb piece of music; it brilliantly conveys how a supercomputer innocently plays a game that could have ended the world.
nostalgia is my drug
This song fits the end of the movie so well. The rolling drums in the opening make it feel like a triumphant tune is coming, but then the somber harmonica hits. It's like, "Yes! We did it! We trusted in the decency of humanity and we prevented our own annihilation!" "Right on! That was awesome! ...but do we still have a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons, any one of which could obliterate millions in an instant?" "Oh... yeah..."
I was around for the Cuban Missile crisis and this always reminds me of just how close we came to the end game.
Great movie. A perfect fit for the soundtrack.
Loved this tune as it was also my favourite film on vhs. The harmonica is going in and out of pitch, as it was on the vhs, but I thought at that time that it was a video cassette or recorder problem slowing the tape. Now after 30 years I hear it again, and suddenly I remembered myself in the living room with my pigiama watching professor Falken Joshua. Thanks for making me cry...
How can anybody dislike this lovely tune? They must be jellied pork in uniform who pee on atomic warheads and never trust silicone diodes.
Wonderful Americana, with or without lyrics.
RIP Arthur B. Rubinstein
This movie is really good and it is very well done and it is a good example of what a computer hacker can do when he hacks into something that is top secret, And this movie was very well done and it is a fun movie to watch. Boy what memories
I also LOVED Sneakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE THIS
I watched the movie and I loved it. It has a haunting theme but I whistle it everytime I go home. My school is shutting down and I'm my last day I whistled this song all day and when I left, I felt like I was on the last scene and the credits rolling when I closed the door behind me of the school. Best movie for me
Great tune and great movie
I like this version a lot. With the other music on this soundtrack, a modern day sound would be great, but I happen to love the pops and graininess for this particular song.
This film is where I learned to butter my corn.
YESSS!!!!! ME TOO!!!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
This song sounds like what the 80s looks like in pictures
LOVE this!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG!
2 dislikes would rather play a nice game of chess.
Three dislikes pissed on a spark plug because they thought it would make a difference.
Let the boy in there Major.
@@rochellealansmithee7966 And now it`s eleven...they`re taking turns on the plug......
Why is this imperfect sound so beautiful? Is it just nostalgia or is there some credibility to imperfectiion that makes it feel more real?
In a computerized world... It's a simple analog. Ironically it really does take after the original digital synthesis of the end theme of the original Tron.
I always thought this theme sounded like it was made for an old Western movie and not used, and someone rediscovered it.
I was born in 1981. Greatest decade of my childhood in my life! Back then, things were simpler and dare I say more truthful in terms of using money and how to spend it. Even back then they could have switched over to solar and wind power, even though both were still being tested and approved. But no, oil continues to rule and as long as we keep using oil, the Earth will continue to suffer from man’s greed. They had the means to change over back then but refused too stop being a bunch of money grubbing fools. If they had switched over then, things today would be a heck of a lot different and better…man is still stuck in the dark ages when we should already be standing in the light…quite literally..
Pure awesomeness! Such good (vintage) vibes
This is gorgeous. Thanks.
Such a cool movie for it's time! I always feel sad now when i hear this. Long time ago.
I really love this. It was a great movie.
Just watched it on Prime Video. Thought it was really good.
I like that your picture is of the LP cover.
I Love that in music
thank you so much to have post it :)
True! A blast of the past...I was 10 in 1983, so maybe not that preoccupied because of my age then. You are a 100% right when I look back I totally see that now though. Yet, it still doesn't seem to be all that bad of a place in time to return to...hmmm...lol! Appreciate your comment!
Izzy loves cool instrumental music 🎸 🎶 💘 Enjoy 1983.
They were the one most of beautiful periods of my life because in general all the youthness was concentrated in the 80's heart so all that it was about the cinema's universe there were always many rumors and this movies is the one of those that has made talk all people because uses the computer was a real discovery. Fortunately this movie was beautiful for action and science fiction, but it taught how it could be very dangerous if we had go beyond those things which we can not have competition. At any way: good for subject and screenplay.

YAY FOR THE SOUSAPHONE!!!!!
Ahhh, to be 8 years old and frightened to death of complete and total nuclear annihilation. Dems were da days.!
Because that's somehow not a potential threat today??? LOL! With the insane morons running the media today, you must living in ignorance. They're even trying to stoke the Cold War back. I don't think trying to divide everyone in every way possible is particularly healthy for the world.
This is the end credits music for Earth...
Marriage, politics, and Tic-Tac-Toe are very similar - there are no winners in the end. The best thing to do is "not to play."
War games holder stadigvæk, 80'erne var enklere og elsker soundtraken
Ja!
The same Style of Music we find in another for me perfect Movie: D.A.R.Y.L 👍
Man I bet this song was playing in peoples heads when the Berlin Wall fell and the Cold War ended. I mean Nuclear Weapons unfortunately still exist and the threat of using them, but about 50 years of that kind of stuff must have sucked, I was not even around during the Cold War.
RIP Dabney Coleman
Thank you !
How about a nice relaxing game of chess
unfortunately, I can't find any recording of this song for purchase.
The movie that made Matthew Broderick... Matthew Broderick.
Put the launch in the computer's hands what can possibly go wrong ??

XXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOO
Oh year have this on vinyl. Miss joshua:)
Take us to DEFCON 5
Would be very cool to remake this movie now with all the tension around the world.
I'm not sure it would work as well now. Back in the 80s the threat of Nuclear War was real, there were Protect & Survive information films on TV and tension with Russia was ever present. There isn't that fear anymore and fears now are nonsense things like climate change. That would make one boring movie!
I think Leonardo DiCaprio wanted to make a remake at one point... but I think they should let this movie be, it's a product with the charm of the 80s that embodies perfectly the Cold War's tension... maybe a movie could be made inspired by things happening today but I don't think it would fit well with the War-games legacy or story
@@FranciscoPerez-nr3vr Good point. Thanks.
I think this was dubbed from vinyl. I can faintly hear a little wow (as in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow_(recording) and not "oh, wow!" ).
Its really quite noticeable. And the inner groove distortion from 2:08 onwards is also really beautiful to my ears.
Alan McBee Correct. It's all I had, and the best I could do. I figured I'd just get as raw a capture as I could.
+Alan McBee I'm going to see if I can get a better capture of this album soon, FWIW
I too love those imperfections in this capture; it's gloriously real.
+insomniacfolder I would not wish for this recording to vanish. I suppose there is a "real"-ness not found in today's digital recordings. But my ears hear the distortion as clearly as my mind recreates the original as though it were being performed in front of me, and the distraction diminishes my pleasure. When I was younger, these distortions were frequent artifacts that we all endured rather than savored, because there were no other affordable choices. We would never have chosen to keep the distortion merely because it was entwined with the experience. I can't forget having *those* thoughts anymore than I would expect you not to love those imperfections as you do.
It was all a dream that he was able to beat Joshua and teach him a lesson. In reality, Joshua quickly launched his missiles and ended the virus that is humanity.

Was Rubenstein's father the classical pianist?????
America and Britain had far better days under Ronnie Raygun and Maggie Thatcher. Such memories before the cultural downturn.
