If we're going strictly with trailers that JW scored specifically, I think you have to also add Bachelor Flat and None But The Brave to the list. Don't know that any of them are "worst", but while I do think the 1941 trailer music is fun and a great listen, since it doesn't technically have any thematic material from the actual movie (which hadn't been composed at that stage), guess I'd go with that one as least favorite.

2023 John Williams Official top 10 film scores. Your individual lists.
tranders65 replied to JoeinAR's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Hey, how did I never do this? So many of these look similar as has already been noted, but I'd never actually thought through what my top 10 might look like - here's what I came up with: 1. Star Wars 2. Superman 3. Temple of Doom 4. Empire Strikes Back 5. Raiders of the Lost Ark 6. Jaws 7. E.T. 8. 1941 9. The Cowboys 10. Witches of Eastwick -

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track
tranders65 replied to DangerMotif's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Okay, I’m late to the game paying actual focused attention to some of the isolated score. Just happened to check my streaming version today and see if it was showing up on there, which it now is, so started watching the prologue. I know about the other cribbing from previous Indy scores and some Minority Report and Star Wars lifts that found their way into the score, but hadn’t noticed some of 1941 in there until today, lol. Did anyone else catch that or did I miss it on another page? In the “It’s A Fake” cue from around ::33-1:17. Compare it to Sub Commander from around :11-1:06 on the expanded 1941 LalaLand release. 😂 Sorry if anyone else already caught that and I missed it. -

Listening to it right now - Jay, trying it with Disc 3 first and so far the music sounds FANTASTIC. Best I've heard it sound easily, not that it's a surprise. Enjoying the psuedo-conceptual-musical angle so far and can't wait to dig into the score-proper after.

I'm still somewhat stunned even after having it happen over and over again at how many people do stay thru end credits to see if there's something else coming (and there have been a good many people stay after in the movies I've attended the past few years - not a large group, mind you, but still more than a few). Heck, they even check for after-credits scenes in older movies in a ton of Youtube reaction videos I occasionally watch, even though up until the Marvel movies started that pretty much hardly ever happened. And pretty much still never happens unless it's a superhero movie. Same thing happened when I saw DoD - older couple leaving from the row behind us looked at me and my wife and said "Well, guess no extra scenes" and I was like "Yeah, there's never been any extra scenes in any Indiana Jones movies", lol.

And as a Georgia fan I was eating it up, even if I got bored in the 3rd quarter, lol. I'm okay with the 12 team system they're starting with, although I wouldn't be sad if UGA slid in a three-peat next year before the bracket system starts in 2024. And got chills listening to JW's music, which I desperately want to hear sans voices/SFX.

Scherzo For Motorcycle and Orchestra (revised)
tranders65 replied to Lurker's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Actually it’s not- at least in the film release. The film as released just had the end credits pretty much as it exists on the CD release. Then once the movie hit streaming platforms/Disney Plus/DVD/Blu Ray, the end credits were lengthened pretty considerably. I think they replaced the part of Rey’s theme as recorded for the end credits with the concert version and inserted Scherzo for X Wings in there as well. -
Okay, gonna have to disagree with you on that, Jay- there are so many moody, melodic short cues in that stretch! Do not ask me why, because there’s no rhyme or reason to why certain cues hit people the way they do, but I have always, ever since I got the LP way back in probably 1983 or 84, loved that little short beginning to “Give Me Your Loyalty” (the beginning of “The Abduction of Lucy” on the original release).

Guess everyone is gonna have a lot of these in common: 1. Star Wars 2. Superman 3. Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom 4. Empire Strikes Back 5. Raiders of the Lost Ark 6. Jaws 7. E.T. 8. Close Encounters 9. 1941 10. The Cowboys And then, just barely out of reach, Witches of Eastwick, The Force Awakens, Return of the Jedi, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Jurassic Park
