It's new. So apparently, it must be the best.
- Marc, who doesn't think so.
You are completely right, in the summer of '02 every kid my age thought ATOC was the best movie ever, but then TTT came out and ATOC became the worst, i'm sure something similar will happen with GOF.
Just wait until the 5th movie. It's an 850 page or so book. That should be fun to condense into a 2.5 - 3 hour film.Tim
Well if there's a better director it can work, im sure more formidable tasks have been done well.
-
Aqua Teen Hunger Force??, that sounds like another one of those horrible anime-esque action kids shows you see all the time now on cartoon stations. I personally would rather him not score anything then score a pokemon-like movie.
-
aren't there still 17 hour left, or is the poll only a 12 hour thing. Either way Joe hasn't posted so theres at least one more vote against raiders...
-
oh boy, this is whath the fourth time its tied?, just curious but what restrictions would be placed on a tie breaker in case of a tie? because wouldn't the same people just vote the same way, or will someone have to reprasent each score and present their case?
-
Well since listening to the entire E.T. score i now have to add the first statement of the Flying theme in E.T's halloween, and saying good bye
Edit: the Fortress of soltiude just finnished and i have to add that statement of the Superman march.
-
Ok, i'm almost ready to vote, let me type myself a quick theme vs. theme analysis and then decide. (Themes 1 point each, Finale 1.5 points, Remainder 2 points)
Raider's March v Flying: I would have to say flying is barely better. When i heard it for probably the millionth time in the middle of E.T's halloween, i still got the chills, something i don't get anymore from the Raider's March. This theme is definitely pure magic
Nazi vs. Government: For its effectiveness in the film, the Government theme. I remember being a little kid and was scared of E.T., and this theme really made it much scarier, especially during Invading Elliot's house. It was so effective i could remember this theme before the Darth Vader theme.
Over the Moon vs. The Ark: this was a though one but, The Ark's theme is just absolutely amazing, probably the most majestic/horrifying theme William's has ever composed.
E.T. and Elliot vs. Marions Theme: Hands down Marion's Theme
E.T. Finale vs Raiders Finale: very easily E.T, the Raider's finale is too sudden and abrupt, even though it utilizes the Arks theme, but E.T.'s finale is again pure magic and is imo the best finale ever.
Remaining Score: Both scores have their duller parts (which is where ESB would have one, it after leaving Hoth it doesn't die down for a second), but Raider's barely edges out here. The Miracle of the Ark and the Dessert Chase are my two of my top ten favorite tracks ever.
Well Raider's wins my vote with a score of 4 to 3.5
-
Most Harry Potter fans, and kids my age think its the best of the seiries, and somehow people all over IMDB think its by far the best. But yeah, here not as overrated.
Escape/Chase/Saying Good bye -
As i posted somewhere else i thought that the fourth film was the second weakest of the seiries (behind COS). The score is not bad, but not amazing either, but i must say I love doyle's arrangements of Hedwig's theme, and they provide a listen almost as good as Williams'
Invading Elliot's house -
Epi1: the tide turns
Epi2:confrontation with dooku
Epi3: good bye old friends
Epi4: Binary sunset
Epi5: Rescue from Cloud City
Epi6: Death of yoda
Frogs -
Well, i can tell for sure that John Williams has at least one son, Joseph, who is a member of some band and helped Williams with Lapti Nek, and did some work in the Lion King. I can also tell you he has married twice, his first wife died during the eighties. His father was a jazz musician and music was important to everyone in his family. Thats really all i can say, hope it helps.
Far From home, E.T. alone -
LOL, true... very true, too bad those movies weren't what the oscars were looking for
Marion's Theme -
This Friday I watched The Goblet of Fire and i would have to say it is really overrated. IMO the whole thing was way to rushed, and the directing and editing wasn't very good. What annoyed me the most was the way the kids completely over reacted to everything, that drove me nuts, and i have to agree with many people here the score doesn't help the film, but at least the only thing you can remember after the movie is Hedwig's theme, which i believe was used gerously enough.
Desert Chase -
To make my final decision in the 80's polls i am listening to both Raiders and E.T. back to back.
Airplane Fight -
another horrible sequence imo is the Hulk's transformation and then when he is attacked by those horrible looking CGI dogs.
Reunion and the dig begins -
actually i'll have to agree with Mark, John Williams scoring an animated feature would be very interesting, and if it was a disney feature, would probably land him an Oscar
The Map Room Dawn -
If he does i'm not going to able to vote for a real long time, i have very few of those scores, and it will only be extended an extra day because i predict AFI's #1 all time score pick Star Wars to be voted off first round, in order to enhance the poll.
-still deciding...
Main Title: South America 1936 -
Hmm, I knew this would be a very tough decision. Raiders has the Desert Chase, my favorite action cue ever, but then E.T. has Adventures on Earth, and then the end credits...Hmm very tough decision. I'll listen to both scores befor my final decision
-
definitely another John Williams epic adventure
-
In the SEC NCAA championship the South Carlonia marching band was playing the krypton theme, which i've heard them play a couple of times. And the Gators also use the Jaws theme to signal their defense, and then a lot of SEC teams use the Imperial March.
-
Any one see the sharks in this movie : Deep blue sea ?
Oh yes, that was a terrible CG effect, along with the croc from supercroc, or whatever that movie was called
-
thank goodness for the tie. it would have been alot harder to choose from LC and TOD.
-
looks like we're already at the final three
-
ROTJ, only because of the amount of pure noise in some of the Endor tracks, and its inclusion of the source music.
-
There all great, but empire of the sun is the weakest
Those tracks that never fail to give you goose bumps

That was definitely one of those tracks that was very freaky the first few listens
