Every day without thinking, and this has been happening for many years now I whistle the signature tune from Jurassic Park. Some days I may throw in a bit of Marion's theme or Yoda's theme but consistently Jurassic Park is there. Does anyone else do the same?
I must add its a quiet whistle just to myself as I know whistling can be annoying to others.
-
its looking like a two horse race between Jaws and Star Wars.
-
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.

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 mo

I never noticed that before, but I think it's too similar to be a coincidence. He could have written anything he wanted there, or changed it up to be similar while changing an interval or the length of the long note before the melody concludes, but he didn't.
I have to agree that it is too similar to be a coincidence. Maybe John Williams is a bit of a Lorne Greene fan
-
Pure conincidence I think.
awwww! I so want to think it was a little sneaky nod.

Just posted on my blog about what I believe is a bit of Battlestar in The Phantom Menace soundtrack. I was listening to the expanded edition of TPM the other day and came across the part on the track entitled "Anakin Is Free." There is a definite similarity between the two. I've put the two vids on my post but will post here if you want. Not sure if its been noticed before or even if its just me. what do you think?

will try and record the tribute part on my phone (may not look the best but will give it a try.) Hope it doesn't get taken down by Youtube.

Glad you are all enjoying it. To be honest I thought The Minority Report clip would have been the hardest but some of you are getting 18 out of 18.

1: Harry Potter/
2: Home Alone
3: ???
4: Dune Sea of Tattooine
5: The Flying Sequence
6: ??? Fiddler on the Roof?
7: ???
8: ???
9: 1941
10: The Raiders March!
11: Jaws 2 (Catamaran Race)
12: ??? Midway?
13: Jurassic Park (The Island)
14: The Last Crusade (Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra)
15: ??? ET?
16?: Schindlers List?
17: Hook?
18: ???
You got 10 out of 18 there.
Throw in a track from an expanded release, that should stump Thor
I will do another one in the week and make it harder

I do not hear anything?
it takes a few seconds to buffer.
Fun game!
And yes, I caught all of them. Not too hard for the seasoned fan.
You shouldn't have given away the answers, though.
well done getting them all. I did put the answers on another page to avoid temptation

I have created this little quiz. There are 18 John Williams soundtracks to guess. Can you name them all?

No cheating.

Any list that doesn't include Jaws 2 is just wrong.
Number 19 in my charts. BTW love your avatar...LOOK! A THREE HEADED MONKEY!
-
How can you not have CE3K in a top 5?
Star Wars
Jaws
CE3K
E.T.
The Empire Strikes Back
Those are certainly the definitive ones. Perhaps Superman could edge out Empire.
Well it is at number 6...very close

The edited end credits of TPM doesn't belong anywhere near the top 20.
Neither does ROTJ IMO.
And if you list Star Wars, then Episode III is kind of needless.
I'm fine with the OST version of TPM being on the list. ROTJ is one of my favorites as well. And the ROTS End Credits from the OST is Williams' gift that keeps on giving. Not quite the same as Star Wars and deserves its own place on the list IMO.
The only ones I might disagree with are the ones I haven't heard before, so I have no right to call them out.
Love all the Star Wars soundtracks. I agree they are different in many ways.
-
I have compiled on my website thbeardedtrio.com my personal top twenty end credits or finales by the genius John Williams. I apologise in advance if you think I have left one out but these are my favourites. But if there is an obvious missing masterpiece I would love to know

So I was on my dinner break and all of a sudden I heard an orchestra playing. The Gwent Music Support Service performed John William's Star Wars. A really well done rendition too. This performance was part of the new MUSIC FOR ALL campaign that aims to get more students engaged in music making. Turned out to be a perfect lunch break.

Just started a new blog called The Bearded Trio
Its very new but will feature regular news on John Williams and the other two bearded chaps.
What John Williams tune do you whistle daily?

The Catamaran Race from Jaws 2 is another one I whistle which then turns into the end titles to Jaws.
