Fuck that movie.

 
 
If this does happen, I'd just like to go on record to say I called it here.

Everyone's running this story of a Friends reunion, but that's not even what the special is going to be. It's a tribute to a television director with a looooong career spanning many different (and famous) shows. If every cast member of Friends does appear, it won't be to do any sort of Friends reunion special. Are all these sites even reading the article before they copy/paste it onto their own pages?

It's all background music anyway.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial by John Williams (OST)
 
I'd never heard the original album before. Like with Jaws, it's great to hear some of the longer versions of well-known film cues. I usually prefer listening to a score in its complete chronological order, but I'll be returning to this album (and the Jaws OST) in the future.

There will be a perfect flac rip because I am going to make one and share it as I intended to from the start. 

Star Wars
 
This film shouldn't work. The acting is wonky, the script is a paint-by-numbers hero's journey and the characters are not much more than archetypes.
 
And yet it does work. The production design, the editing, the sound design and the music are major factors in making this film work, but the movie is probably as entertaining as it is because of its simplicity. It's a fantastic action adventure romp with a contemporary sci-fi/fantasy twist. It's highly enjoyable viewing for all ages and that's probably the reason why this film has stood the test of time so well.
 
 
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
 
Empire is where Star Wars became the Star Wars Saga. After Star Wars became the biggest hit ever, they could have just recycled everything from the first film, slap a 2 at the end and made a shitload of money anyway. Instead, Empire takes risks: it puts the big battle up front and the actual Star War basically doesn't advance at all in this film. Instead, it serves as a backdrop to deepen the mythology, advance the character relationships and introduce elements that have become trademark Star Wars (Yoda! Telekinesis using the Force! Vader Unleashed! "I am your father"!). It is one of my favorite films of all time - if not the favorite of all time - and it gets so much right in its storytelling and setting of mood that even the Star Wars franchise itself hasn't been able to recreate. It's a fantastic film and a joy to watch each and every time.

Batman (1966)
 
Ah, Batman. From a time when people like Adam West could spout dialogue as ridiculous as the stuff in this film and totally get away with it. Make no mistake: Batman is a kids' film. Forget the heightened realism of Nolan, forget the gothic noir of Burton. This is the kind of comic book movie Joel Schumacher must have been watching (Batman & Robin is a clear offspring of this film). It's dumb, it's campy, it's poorly structured and feels much longer than its bristk 105-minute running time, but dagnammit, this is just so much fun. I love it.
 
Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

 
Reminds me of the cue that plays when Yoda senses Anakin slaughtering the Tusken raiders in Attack of the Clones.
 
The Tusken Camp and The Homestead 3:02 - 3:25

I'll agree that the TPM UE had great sound and a wealth of gorgeous previously unreleased material.
 
But from a producer's standpoint, it was an absolute fuck-up. I always cringe when I see people going "well, I'd settle for another UE-style release just to get more music..." If they're going to put out an expanded soundtrack that'll likely cost about $30, I'd like it to be done properly. Especially if you consider that every botched attempt at an expanded release means it's unlikely we'll get a proper release within the next decade or so. And especially if you consider how unusual expanded Star Wars releases have become. I don't know what Disney's strategy is going to be, but Sony has practically ignored the UE, coasted on the OST's for the prequel trilogies and has been repackaging the RCA/Victor releases since 2004.
 
It's time to do the next expansion properly!

I just added a FAQ to the main post and copied all the most important information to it including my quick no-edits playlist, my chronological OST/FYC order, custom cover art, and link to my spreadsheet.
 
Enjoy!

 
This.
 
That bit alone would make a complete release of The Lost World an instant purchase. 

 
Only in the movie. It's a break in the heavy percussion from the rest of the track, featuring a quick string section for the arrival of the two T-Rexes. 
 
It's right at the start of this clip:

I know I'm late to this conversation but I have been trying to purchase this FYC for a couple of weeks now but nothing popped up on ebay :/
Anyone here who wants to sell his?
I'm also scared to buy a fake one on ebay :S

R2 showing the map is the first 1:10 of FYC 22 Farewell and The Trip
 
But there's debate if that music was intended for that scene, or intended for the scene where Rey meets BB8 and was tracked into the R2 map scene.

OK, I've put a simple comparison up in Spreadsheet form.  Note two tabs, one has color!
 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rDuRXT-67ETwF2cy4lNkgp5AV_QcIDivxUwCLtLOGfg/pubhtml
 
Hopefully at some point I'll have time to do a Detailed comparison showing where the differences are within each track, but I make no promises!

This should line everything up so you can look for the differences yourself pretty easily, though!

Lovely job on the breakdowns, Jay.
 
Any chance of getting these in a lovely spreadsheet? There's a lot of scrolling back and forth involved now and those spreadsheets always make it wonderfully visual and easy to see what's what.
