Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 A - Top 5 Steven Spielberg movies scored by John Williams: 1. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 2. Lincoln 3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 4. Saving Private Ryan 5. Minority Report B - Top 5 John Williams scores for Steven Spielberg films: 1. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 3. Lincoln 4. Jaws 5. Hook 6. Minority Report I took @Sandor's cue and cheated with a top 6 for the latter This is just a snapshot of my current feelings, I could edit and futz with the list forever. 10 years ago, it'd probably have been just the most famous scores, but that gets boring after a while! Minority Report's one I've been gaining more and more appreciation for over the past couple of years, so it's quite high in my estimation currently. There's no Spielberg/Williams collaboration I get nothing out of, that I actually dislike. There's something to be enjoyed in all of them for me. Yes, even The BFG!

Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 They used to, Jay. There was a time when ROTLA was #3 in my all-time top 10 JW scores, and I still enjoy listening to tracks such as APPROACHING THE STONES, and THE MIRACLE OF THE ARK is still among his most awe-inspiring of achievements. It's just that, as I've grown older, I've begun to turn off that "sturm und drang", and, generally, on to quieter, more contemplative scores (doesn't explain 1941, though; possibly his "loudest" piece of work! ). I'll always appreciate the IJ scores, I just don't need them in my life, at this time. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I actively dislike many of the Hans Zimmer scores, though some of them are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,490 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS is a spectacular film in many ways. Easily in my Top 5 Spielberg, and hence one of my alltime favourite films. The score is brilliant too, but isn't QUITE into the Top 5 -- just because there's so much brilliant stuff to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 I love Jaws, Star Wars, Raiders, and E.T.! And yet, I somehow never got into CE and Superman. But I have time... I'm gonna rewatch these two movies again some time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the feeling that Spielberg got a little fed up with Cruise after all the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise sensationalism right at the premiere of WotW. But hopefully, that's all forgotten now.
