    • I'm a Communist and believe all themes are equal, though Rey's Theme is more equal than other themes.

It was an instant classic in 1977. Star Wars was much bigger than even The Force Awakens could imagine.

 

There were like 5 or 6 movies that came out total in 1977. Maybe one or two channels on TV. And porn was difficult to get. Of course it was an instant classic.

It's clearly more than 5 or 6 movies, and despite L MULBs flippant remarks Star Wars was so huge, only E.T. was bigger.

I always preferred the auxiliary theme that you hear in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie when you're introduced to Jack Sparrow for the first time. that has a rather nice melody. can't find the piece though.

 

EDIT: I found it but its the one from the World's End game, done by Mark Griskey interestingly:

You're talking about this theme I believe

 

 

If I'm not mistaken it's a Badelt theme (and curiously enough one of the Conrad Pope orchestrated cues).

Nope.  And your need for a pretty musical story to be told through the music is childish!

 

Shut up and drink your hipster coffee, pseudo-musician!

Likewise, although Interstellar, The Thin Red Line and Frost/Nixon come close.

 

Gladiator is definitely up there. So is Frost/Nixon (really underrated gem, this one). But The Thin Red Line secures the top seat for me. Interstellar, while quite good, is a down a few notches.

Better to casually discuss another great composer than have certain folks spouting quasi-intellectual vitriol about Williams.  

I could understand that, so lets talk about another great composer. Horner, Goldsmith, Waxman anyone?

I am surprised to find you squeamish. That is not your reputation.
