welshslider 2 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Just thought I would share the question I am asking on Facebook. I'm asking the question what is your favourite John Williams soundtrack? Its over at http://www.facebook.com/TheBeardedTrio I'm not asking you to like the page or anything like that but just doing this as a fan.By the way Star Wars is winning at the moRob
Trent B 354 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite all time from Williams. welshslider 1
welshslider 2 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I voted for Jurassic Park. Still get goose bumps when John Hammond says "There it is" and then the helicopter flies to the island with John Williams masterpiece blasting out. Fantastic. However Yoda's theme is a close second.

Richard P 5,303 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I can never decide between JP and HP1. The latter basically got me into film music, but the former has some of the most memorable passages in a JW score. welshslider 1
MSM 194 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I can never decide between JP and HP1. The latter basically got me into film music, but the former has some of the most memorable passages in a JW score.Good picks For me, they are only topped by Sabrina, which holds a special place for me.
Quintus 6,498 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Take your pick from Star Wars, Raiders or E.T.
Wojo 2,458 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Jaws. I can't vote for the Star Wars franchise because the prequels cancel out the good ones.No, not really, but a vote for something off the wall like Seven Years in Tibet is a wasted vote.
Cantus Venti 13 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 <<<I'm surprised E.T. has votes. It is underrated because it's not really "epic" by normal standards, having only a few thematic tracks and being about flippin' bicyles and an ugly alien. But it is my favorite, all because of genius writing in key areas.
KK 3,313 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I might be the only one who would vote Schindler's List, but God I love that score!Empire Strikes Back is a close second.
The Psycho Pianist 221 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 E.T. - not sure a non-JW score will ever surpass that in terms of its utter perfection both standalone and to the film.
Smeltington 2,011 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I tend to love any action/adventure Williams score with more than its fair share of great themes AND great non-thematic cues. Of these, I'd pick Empire Strikes Back and Sorcerer's Stone as my favorites.
welshslider 2 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 its looking like a two horse race between Jaws and Star Wars.
indy4 160 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I dont' think it's fair to count all 6 SW scores as one...
