FYI, a slightly higher-quality version of almost 17 minutes of the documentary is still available via the BBC Archive site:

Stay tuned for a very special preview of this new release coming soon on The Legacy of John Williams.
 
It's really one of the best ones so far, imho. Even if you're familiar with the movie and the OST, there is a lot more here than you can imagine.

Yea I like it a lot too.  I never really figured out why it didn't generate a lot of discussion, or at least not as much as I was expecting.

High res cover art is gorgeous AF https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-lj8wphc2lt/products/599/images/1516/Always_Cover__63124.1624381665.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

So I’m finally getting ’round to this one.
 
Of course, had to pair it with an Irish whiskey.
 
By the way, love the name of that dram!
 

I’m watching the movie in anticipation of the CD. Never really did that kind of thing before, I must be getting old. 😂
 
I’ve previously only seen it the once in its theatrical release... and it’s not one of my fondest memories.
 
Maybe I was too young, but it was all so bleak. And it was scene after scene, with nothing going the protagonist’s way.
 
Seeing it now, again, it really is a one-of-a-kind-movie. It’s relentless. The first reveal and the disappearing bodies. The way his kids hate their dad. The bodies in the river. The mob mentality. They way way the ferry leaves and how the aliens suck people up. The way the son keeps fighting with his father... and so on, and so on.
 
As a viewer, I think there are very few, blockbuster movies at least, that give you this kind of experience.
 
The sound design is equally horrifying. It’s loud and uncomforting.
 
And what do I think now, after seeing it today, my second viewing after 15 years?
 
It’s good. Spielberg surely knew he was “breaking the mold”, and - though I can’t say I’m enjoying it - I can’t take my eyes off of it.
 
Characters are unlikable and the movie is brutal, too brutal. I kind of hate everyone in the movie and at the same time everything that happens to them. It bogs you down, scene after scene. It’s too brutal, too relentless, too unforgiving, too sad.
 
It’s perhaps one of the most well made and interesting blockbusters you’ll ever see.
 
If you can take it.
 
I can’t wait for my CD to arrive.

Well, here it is

This might be the best conducting based JW animated gif of all time
 

Then I'm afraid your ears are broken.
In the movie it works, but as a track... Skip to 'Granny Wendy', quick.

Such typical modern day JWFan talk. Depressing. I though this was a site for the fans of his music but I guess I was mistaken. 

'The Homecoming' from War Horse. But I've got a lot of time for the BFG piece too!

Hey I just received My Superman set!
 
Wait... why the cover art is different?
 

Thanks for the nice words, gents. Glad you enjoyed it.
 
Keep an eye on my website, more interesting contents coming soon.

That was simply a joy to listen to, I really didn't want it to end! Thank you so much, Maurizio.
 
It's breathtaking how music I thought I knew like the back of my hand can sound completely fresh, even from these brief snippets on mp3. I'm sooo looking forward to getting this. 
 
What a great time to be a JW fan!

What is significant about this release:
 
1.) It includes the Maestro’s entire score, expanded and remastered from the recently discovered original 2 inch 24-track recording master tapes (offering the best sound ever from the original source).
 
2.) It includes alternate cues, including an alternate segment of The Fortress of Solitude that has never been heard before.
 
3.) It includes the US premiere release on CD of the 1978 album, remastered from the original recording tapes.
 
Did I get everything or should I continue?
 
 

It's still my favourite superhero movie!

Not the scariest, but I had to make specific mention of this entire bit (other parts of the movie count too)

It's still my favourite superhero movie!
