Truckasaurus Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Man, that Superman score is something else. How does Williams do it? It's like every theme song he writes feels exactly right, they're the notes that should be played at the right time. Can you honesly disassociate Superman from that Williams motif? It's impossible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 7. Spoiler Jaws (1975) Original Music by John Williams 921 Points Top 10 Placements: 5 2015 Placement: 7 (NO CHANGE) Staying put at #7 is the film score that launched a million parodies. The main theme, an alternation between two notes, has become an iconic cue of danger and tension that has been referenced in pop culture to no end. Much of the score relies on an ominous tuba or rapid-fire string strumming, to convey a mix of tension and primal adventure. Williams would go on to win an Oscar for his work on the movie, which Spielberg credited as a huge reason for why the movie worked. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 6. Spoiler Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Original Music by Maurice Jarre 986 Points #1 Rankings: 2 Top 5 Placements: 4 Top 10 Placements: 2 2015 Placement: 11 (+5) TELE SUCCEEDS! The Two Towers was dropkicked out of the Top 10 by the WW1 epic. Maurice Jarre was David Lean's third choice to compose for the film, after Malcolm Arnold and William Walton were unavailable. The result is an iconic main theme that evokes the sweeping grandeur of the desert and the vision for proud future. Maurice Jarre would go on to win an Oscar for his work on the film. In a Top 10 of convention for the forum, this pushing to just shy of the Top 5 was a nice treat. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 5. Spoiler Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Original Music by Howard Shore 1125 Points Top 5 Placements: 4 Top 10 Placements: 5 2015 Placement: 2 (-3) While Fellowship fell to 5th place, it was in no danger from Lawrence as it still had a 139-point lead over it. Howard Shore began his musical journey through Middle-Earth with this feature, laying out a ton of memorable themes and cues that would endure through LOTR and some would even feature in the Hobbit trilogy as well. From the pastoral Hobbit theme to the alluring Ring motif to the proud and booming Fellowship horn theme, the music covers a whole array of emotions and tones. Shore won an Oscar for his work. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes plan to get Lawrence closer to the top 5. I'ill drop LOTR:FOTR completely from my list next time. It's great, but sacrifices must be made 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
