All they have to do is only count unique watches by ip, instead of lying about how many people watch their videos. We all know Nish watched Gangnam at least 2 million times.

Another stunning confirmation of "man's inhumanity to man."
Many and sharp the num'rous ills
Inwoven with our frame!
More pointed still we make ourselves,
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And man, whose heav'n-erected face
The smiles of love adorn, -
Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn! Robert Burns, "Man Was Made To Mourn: A Dirge" 1784

"King's Row" & "Star Wars"[^]
They played the "Kings Row" opening theme on the radio - obviously the inspiration for the Star Wars one. It's weird listening to it.
There are other ones,[^] "Mars" and "O Fortuna" are so well known you might well have spotted them anyway.

I actually find Williams' style globally very close to Holst's. When I have people (mainly classical music illiterates) listen to Holst's music, they depict it as a possible modern movie soundtrack.
Anyway, it is well known in music composing that you are always inspired by something when creating something new, so lots of famous songs are actually derived from other melodies.
On another subject, I am actually very saddened by the lack of recognition composers like Williams or Zimmer get from the "music sphere". They have gotten many awards from the movie industry, but are still seen as not equal to for instance a classical symphony composer by their peers. For sure, composing music 200 years ago was more complicated, at so many levels, but a Carribean pirate or Gladiator theme is to me as good as a result as what Holst or St-Saens have made.

While I do respect Hans Zimmer and John Williams and other musical artists that contribute music to movies and video games I find it funny that you mentioned Gladiator and Pirates Of The Carribean - two of the most similar soundtracks written by Zimmer. He has variety but not in this case.
I do agree with you that it is not fair that they do not get recognition.

John Williams did the music for a couple of the Harry Potter movies and while listening to one I had to make sure the player did not skip to a Star Wars sound track as the music sounded the same.

Interesting, I haven't been listening to much of Harry Potter, didn't like the movies, preferred the books.

Not sure about Zimmer, but John Williams' music often gets played on Classic fm in the UK. You can probably find him listed on their website[^].

A Christmas in Paris?
Edit: "Polar Express" and "Its a wonderful life" would be my serious suggestions, the missis, kids and I always watch those in the run-up to Christmas.

"Its a wonderful life" - a classic! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Agreed, at 135 minutes run-time though the only problem is finding a time when we can sit down for long enough to watch it all in one go.

For us it's normally on Christmas Day in the evening - drinks, fresh popcorn and four across the sofa. Best movie night of the year.

TBH we don't watch broadcast tv anyway. We do now own a tv, but only watch DVDs or movies through the puter.
Just the other night I was talking about M&W and the famous Andrew Preview show. We ended up watching the whole '71 Christmas Special.
