Han Solo and the Princess.

Small world, all that I've read about the film I had no idea Williams was involved. As for the score itself, the 'legend' is a favourite, impossible not to think of James Robertson Justice's narration ending with the theme kicking into gear. 

A good score?

Excellent choice.
 
The Guns of Navarone (1961)
ÉDIT: The title song has been arranged by John Williams.

The grand budapest hotel. Pretty good!

I want the end credits suite to include a grand performance of "Princess Leia's Theme" in tribute to Carrie Fisher. You know the film itself will be dedicated to her.

A fair bit since I was last about but to highlight last couple or so.
 
The War Wagon- Dimitri Tiomkin
Boys from Brazil- Goldsmith
633 Squadron- Ron Goodwin
 
I brought 633 from FSM last week and got it yesterday, two discs with the other being "Submarine X-1". Only 633 so far but the end title track works still, the love them seguing gradually into the theme as Harry Andrews is driven away having just intoned: "You can't kill a squadron."

Hmm. There's some great stuff, in there. THE WARRIORS is fantastic - as is the film - and any John Cacavas is worth listening to. THE BLACK HOLE is nice, and RAISE THE TITANIC is lush.
 
 
 
I've always liken the main title of ANGELS IN AMERICA, to the main title of SIX FEET UNDER - which is, unquestionably, the finest American TV series, this century.
 
 
 
One of those scores is excellent.

War of the Worlds (1953), Magnum Force and Rogue One again. On this recent bout of listens, Your Father Would Be Proud of You has leapt ahead to a favoured track. Wish there were some of the end credits on the disc. Feels disjointed going from Hope to the suites.

For me it's a few seconds in Clash of Lightsabers that ever since I first heard it clicks in the mind. Don't know what or why but:
 
 
 
2.36 to about 2.44 not long before the love theme. (Accompanies Artoo saving the day: "Wonderful! I never doubted it for a second!") but as I say on some level it's always done something for us, then again the whole track does. From just after the duel, with our heroes fleeing knowing Han's lost (or possibly), stormtroopers chasing, the Yoda theme and finally getting off Cloud City by the skin of the proverbials.

This seems to be a more serious list, so I salute your selection of PAPER CHASE, Strangways!

It really is a perfect score.  Maybe I'm just being grumpy but it sometimes seems the young up-and-coming Williams fans don't give it the respect and adulation it deserves.  Sure, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park are amazing, but this is where it all started!

Do droids even have a gender? And do they dream with electric sheep?

I really like this score. Displays Williams in at least two modes -- the elegant 70s love theme and the pure baroque pastiche. The film is quite good, although the Kevin character is one of the most uncharismatic and unsympathetic characters I've seen onscreen. Also, the tone is quite weird, from serious academic drama to wacky vaudeville comedy. But I guess that's what makes the score so entertaining too.
 
I voted 7/10.

Glen A. Larson was probably the first name that stood out to me as a producer. McCloud, Alias Smith and Jones, The Six Million Dollar Man, ... I loved those shows when I was a kid. When Larson's then latest show Battlestar Galactica aired, I thought it was a show that wanted to be Star Wars. I wasn't crazy about it (because I compared it to Star Wars and BG lost) but I was a loyal viewer.
 

 
Star Wars Disco Pink

Across the Stars, by the Prague Phil. Underrated. 

In light of the sad news about Richard Hatch during the night, revisiting the original Battlestar Galactica with Saga of a Star World. The movie that started it all. When I was first saw this nigh on fifteen years ago now it left such a mark. Well, here's to Apollo.
 
 

Quietly devastating to someone who grew up watching the show. As I've said elsewhere, the show left quite a mark on me as a kid -blind as I was to the Star Wars influence. At its heart the partnership of Apollo and Starbuck inspired me a little. Watching Saga of a Star World there's a sense of what might have been. Apollo had some great moments for Hatch -how he told Boxey of Serina's death, talking to the Alliance council in Experiment in Terra ("We thought the opposite of war was peace, instead we found it was slavery.") and a few others inbetween. I only saw up to Season 2 of the new BSG but his face was a welcome one.
 
RIP.

Definitely Parsons. Paul Merton says he's been around since the Stone Age so must be Parsons.
 
Rumour has it he and Larry King interviewed Adam and Eve after their expulsion from Eden.

Galaxy Quest, Newman
Robin & Marian, Barry
The Swarm, Stagecoach- Goldsmith
Heroes of Telemark, Arnold
Dirty Harry & Magnum Force- Lalo Schifrin
 
 
Listening to Rogue One after buying it Friday, not bad on the initial listen. Hope is probably my pick so far but, without reading the thread, the AT-ACT assault track sounded like shades of Battle in the Snow. That clanking sound in Empire...
 
A man has to know his limitations.

Brilliant!
 
 
Nah, its Nicholas Parsons.

Does it count if you dream listening to something? Robin & Marian's Love Theme (John Barry) seemed etched in my sleep. That and it lingers in the mind anyway.
