ddddeeee Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Out of all the films since 2000, Hedwig's Theme is one of the most well-known.Maybe, doesn't change the fact that it's the main theme from Schindler's List rearranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 His most known ever would be Star Wars, Raiders and Jaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 His most known ever would be Star Wars, Raiders and Jaws.Well, yes, since two have a 20+ year advantage on Potter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I just started listening to the A.I. soundtrack. Truly a beautiful, underrated work by the maestro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) John Williams is this generation's Beethoven.BTW, too bad people didnt mention his score on SW prequels often. IMO "Duel of the fates" and "Love across the stars" matches the brilliance of what he did for OT. Maybe it's because the prequels aint the same memorable films like OT was.

4815162342 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Williams' prequel scores are good, but they lack the diversity and originality of the original trilogy in terms of major motifs and "adventure" music.

Jawa Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Even though I like all the Star Wars movies about the same, I wouldn't argue the prequels are better films than the originals (with the possible exception of ROTS over ROTJ). I would, however, argue that the music in the prequels is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah, the music is definitely better in the prequels.Nothing in the original trilogy can beat Anakin's Betrayal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Maybe, doesn't change the fact that it's the main theme from Schindler's List rearranged.Could you please explain that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) 0:29 onwards 0:26 to about 0:38.I was at a JW concert in London once, and they segwayed from the Schindler's List theme into Hedwigs theme right in the middle, it was really cool.

ddddeeee Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 And even if we just take the prequels, TPM has a much better score than ROTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can't say which is Williams' best score, but I can mention a very underrated one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozmeesah Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 My favorite track would have to be the JP theme. If only for the fact that I can listen to that on my iPod over and over and over and over again. I remember the first time I was at Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando, walking into the JP Island and that song was playing ... I got chills.Though I love many many of his other works. The end of E.T. is like whoa."Somewhere In My Memory" (main title) from Home Alone is magical, IMO at least. That and the JP theme are very good at calming me down at work if I get pissed off at something. Even if it's nowhere near Christmas I can listen to this song.Of course his HP scores are great, but so are all the IJ & SW along with several others.

Heretic Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I can see the similarities. They have almost the same structure, but obviously, different notes.Favourite is Potter, which easily has one of the most iconic scores ever (the main theme that is). It's recognised by the vast majority of people nowadays.I love the Home Alone main theme too. Edited May 17, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
