FAVORITE JOHN WILLIAMS SCORE

[wired2max]

Try and choose your personal favorite, not necessarily the most critically hailed or technically efficient. Although, they're all pretty much critically hailed and technically efficient.

Enjoy

Went with the Indiana Jones theme. Star Wars, Superman, and Jaws aren't that far behind.

this is so damn tough...

like saying who was better in the sack, Monica Bellucii or Natalie Wood?

Got to think about this, but i'm leaning toward E.T., simply because it's the only film score that can put me to tears within a minute.

Definately Jaws, i still refuse to swim in the ocean

[HoboJoeBob]

I'm kind of like Jurassic Park and Hook myself.

[JackassFan]

My favourite is the Star Wars theme, but the ones from Jurassic Park, Indy and Jaws are all amazing too.

Star Wars - The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)

Definitely Star Wars, so many classic scores within a great saga.

[Badbird]

If you can find a copy of Jaws 2 on CD, you should pick it up. It's actually much better than the first movie's score. It's still the same main theme, but the overall score just feels much more grand.

[Monotreme]

It's definitely the Star Wars one for me. I mean, John Williams has created so many classic film themes (how come you didn't include his theme from Harry Potter on the list, I think it's at least as memorable as most of the others you included), but I don't think there's any other movie in which I know the entire soundtrack BY HEART like I do with Star Wars - it's just THAT memorable.

They are simply amazing. I'll just throw in 2 more. "The Drive" from "The Cowboys" and 1941 theme. I think that "The Drive" was actually used by the American Beef Cousel on their commercials "Beef...it's whats for dinner". Great great sounds.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The Grail theme and father/son theme are fantastic.

[Natty]

Indiana Jones for me.

[poopontheshoes7]

If we're talking whole soundtracks here I don't honestly think I can choose one. Jaws, Raiders, Superman, Schindler's, List Star Wars Saga (all six soundtracks), Superman, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters, ET...fuck they all move me. His scores for Lost World, A.I. and War of the Worlds are vastly underrated imo. His Harry Potter scores are phenomenal as well. I haven't listened to his soundtracks for Catch Me If You Can, Seven Years In Tibet or Memoirs of A Geisha in full yet but I plan to soon.

I cannot choose an absolute favorite but the three I listen to the most are Jurassic Park, Jaws and Raiders with Superman and Schindler's List close behind.

[SpikeDurden]

A bit ridiculous and unfair that the Harry Potter scores aren't included. Say what you will about the films, but his scoring work on the 1st and 3rd films are wonderful.

That being said, I refuse to vote on principle. Lame!

Star Wars

Not only the theme, but the entire score for the saga. Some of the most beautiful, thrilling music to ever accompany a film. Definitely the most memorable of the lot on the poll IMO.

[Le_Big_Mac]

Indiana Jones.

In terms of the entire scores though, Star Wars is the correct answer. There's simply nothing that compares.
