Back in the old day this would be an easy guess but with so many millennials and Gen-Zers they obvious goes out the door.

I strongly prefer the movie Alien to the movie E.T. . I cannot decide about the scores, because they are both excellent for their respective purposes and they are just too different stylistically to be compared in a meaningful way. So, I won't vote!

This is getting silly.

 

For film -- ALIEN, of course.

 

For score, I had to ponder a bit. It's a very close race, but ultimately I chose E.T.

I abhor atheism. It is belief in nothing (but Ilove Stefan) I have a strong Catholic upbringing. I am lighting candles for many here.

 

John believe it or not I am the creator of those E.T. /JW place in heaven quotes. And the term johnnygasm/jerrygasm etc

My apologies. I must have confused you with Stefan.

A common misconception and misunderstanding about Atheism.

Indoctrination to believe the mind controlling bullshit of one of the world's oldest and most damaging organisations!

Like you E.T. is my favorite score and film and has been since 1982. It knocked Jaws to #2 and Superman #3.

You should. Then watch the superior Aliens.

Well, I primarily judge scores on their musical value outside of context.  Context is important, but, for me at least, a score that works excellently in context, but poorly on its own is inferior to one that works merely serviceable in context, but very well on its own.  Of course, a score that is capital in film and out of it is a true champion.
