The Never Ending Story is one of the few films I actually think should get a remake. It not only deserves it because it's a great story, but the FX they could put in it now would make it so much better. I know, I know...just let it go. Too often a film like this one gets a remake to only be ruined or at the very least ruin our memory of the original. I didn't know until recently that this was a German film. Obviously, the composer is also German. This track plays at the end of the film as Bastian has his wish fulfilled by getting a ride on Falcor in his own world.
The movie was the first English language film directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who would go on to have a pretty illustrious career. He would later direct films like Outbreak, Air Force One, and Troy. Petersen had previously worked with Doldinger on his German film, Das Boot. Doldinger would also go on to have a career in film, composing several other scores, but he would also remain a prevalent jazz saxophonist, too.
