The Ne'er-do-well 1912

When people hear about Idlewild, the first thing that comes to mind is the 2006 drama film with a musical score produced, written, and mostly performed by the Grammy award winning hip-hop duo Outkast. Set in fictional Idlewild, Georgia, the film focuses on the seedier side of the music business rather than the majesty that was Idlewild, Michigan.

There are certain phrases in life that get me highly excited. When I watch a movie the phrase “Music by John Williams” puts me in a very good place for the duration of that particular film. The phrase “Directed by Steven Spielberg” has the same effect. These two men have a collaboration that’s unheard of in Hollywood. For over 50 years and 30 films the team of Williams and Spielberg have collaborated on some of the biggest films to ever grace the movie screen.
