  1. Who is her? Is there a female here I didn't know about?

    WOW, you're right. ;) I don't know why I figured out someone with that avatar could only be a girl. Without any intention of offending, mcdaid.

    No you have not offended me. I just updated my profile. OT: I do not know any girls that like John Williams really.

    I voted for Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I like all the soundtracks, but Episode III I like the most.

  2. I personally can't decide which version I like. They are both great pieces of music. I think that the Alternate Version is more liked because of the eerieness like Genus Gone Insane has said. It is kind of strange, but Williams does a great job making it work. I would like to know what Miguel thinks about the two versions of the Binary Sunset.

  3. John Williams is by far my favorite composer. Here is how I have my favorite top 10 composers ranked:

    1. John Williams

    2. Jerry Goldsmith

    3. Jack Wall

    4. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

    5. Igor Stravinsky

    6. James Horner

    7. Leonard Rosenmen

    8. Alan Silvestri

    9. Robyn Miller

    10. Ludwig van Beethoven

    I am a big John Williams fan. I want to know who Miguel favorite composers are and if he has a top 10 like me?

  4. It is a tie for me. My two favorite Star Wars: Main Title renditions are from "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Revenge of the Sith" I them both equally. The Empire Strikes back because it starts on the Planet Hoth and you get to hear something longer than the "A New Hope" Main Title. Revenge of the Sith I like because it has that dark hymn which starts out with the bass drum or some other type of instrument. It is a great way to start a Star Wars film. I hope they come out with the special editions for Episodes I-III soon.

  5. Hey everbody. I recently watched the movie Munich and bought the soundtrack and had some questions.

    1. What orchestra did John Williams use for the soundtrack?

    2. Why did he not use the LSO?

    3. Does anybody know the whole track listings for the movie in movie order?

    Thanks.

  6. Personally I think they should not make a Star Trek XI because they are going backwards most people are probably expect to see Williams Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock since they are so old they can't use them. If they go on to make XI I do not think I will watch it.

    Williams Shatner?

    I often do that when intending to type William. I'm so used to typing Williams.

    I edited my mistake.

  7. Hey, everybody, just wanted to see what people thought about the new composer/conductor of Harry Potter. Nicholas Hooper I do not know that well. John Williams is well know even Patrick Doyle I have heard of, but knew little about. Can anybody tell me about this musician and how you think he will approach the music of Harry Potter besides that the Theme will be in it because that theme needs to be in the movie. I think it is hard to write music myself, but I hope the soundtrack is good. Does anybody have any information on when the soundtrack might come out? Thanks.

  8. sometimes he goes as far as to state that a certain theme appears in a certain track, when in fact it doesn't.

    You mean you can't hear the "great crescendo" of Buckbeak's theme in Saving Buckbeak??

    Ray Barnsbury

    Yes,and i clearly hear Dark side Beckons in Anakin's Dream

    You can also hear "Zam the Assassin and the Chase through Coruscant" in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets during the Quidditch Match. Did anybody else notice this?

  9. Just reading through this thread points out how futile it is to discuss this. One person feels a score is a masterpeice, one person feels that same score is a poor effort by Williams. The important thing here is that somewhere at some time Williams wrote some music that we formed a connection with. Which peice of music is different for everybody and we can debate till the end of time which of Williams' scores are masterpeices and which ones are not, but it will get us no where. His music, all of it, is what brings us together as a community, and that is what is so special about John Williams.

    I agree with this in that there are some great works including: Star Wars(1977), The Empire Strikes Back(1980) Raiders of the Lost Ark(1981), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade(1989), Alway(1989), Home Alone(1990), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone(2001), Memoirs of a Geisha(2005). There are many others I would put down, but this would be a long list. JWFan members can make there own favorites list. You do not have to agree with me and my list, but I voted "Yes."
