And who can forget the re-release poster. And please, note the lack of "Indiana Jones and the....." nonsense.
What the hell. Here's the British poster as well.

The theory behind that bastardized "Indiana Jones and the Raiders..." title has to do with keeping the films together on the shelf of a video store. I'm sorry, if people aren't smart enough to realize that Raiders starts with an "R" then they have serious problems.

Here's what happens to anyone that calls it by that title....

How can E.T. be 20 years old? It only came out in March.

It may just be me, but I think of a rerecording of something by Williams as fake Williams music. I don't think of it as the real thing because I know that he isn't there conducting and making sure it sounds the way he wants it to.

That's a very bizarre way of looking at things. "Fake Williams"? It's the same music, just a different interpretation. And believe me, I've heard recordings that are superior to Williams' originals. Gerhardts Empire Strikes Back is a perfect example. McNeely's Jaws is also a wonderful album.
I agree with Hector's view on this. Music is designed to not only be listened to but also to be performed.
Harry, you should seek out some of these albums and make an informed decision. It certainly is not "fake Williams". I think you'll find them to be wonderful and far superior to that Star Wars Trilogy album on Sony, that was conducted by the real Williams.

And other composer?
"Ilia's Theme" from Star Trek - The Motion Picture by Jerry Goldsmith.

Superman - The Movie of course.

The greatest movie of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark, is 21 years old today. Time to watch those videos!

I'm interested in hearing it, though I've heard some bad things about it. It's Horner, and I don't much care for modern Horner. I thought (okay hoped) that since the movie had been delayed for a year, maybe he'd have extra time to compose and come up with something original as oppoosed to what he's been churning out the last couple of years. From the review that I read though, apparently its just more of the same.

Does it end with the train about to crash into the car? Or did my stream mess-up?
That's the end.
I like Denise Richards.

Keep in mind these may not be the finalized effects. The movie still has several months to go before release, so they may still be in a somewhat rough form.

I gave it a 9. It doesn't affect me the way Raiders, Star Wars and Superman - The Movie do, but it is certainly a great movie. Perhaps if I ever get the opportunity to see it theatrically my opinion will change and it'll get boosted a point.

I'm just pointing out this link because I think it's funny as hell. I had nothing to do with the creation of this.
Go here.

How come you didn't use Jaws at all? Or the scene at the end of Raiders where a room full of Nazis are blown up? Great use of music.
Actually, I think you are doing a great thing. My music teacher in middle school thought Hank Williams Jr. was the greatest singer that ever lived. :roll:

Is JAWS 2 good and worth buying?
Yes, especially if you can find it. It's now out of print.
As for the original Jaws, I have all three albums. The original that Joe praises (and rightly so), the expanded release and the Varese re-recording, which is fantastic, and the only Jaws album in chronological order.

This is from an episode of Star Trek called "Conscience of the King".

I have it. I tried to contact you with AIM, but you weren't on-line.

I prefer Ralph McQuarrie.

THAT'S what we should be doing - banging the drum to have good existing music written into the final prequel, not the other way around ...
I couldn't agree more.

I still have the mp3 if you want it.

I have no memory of you sending me those Captains log cues. You were the first person I sent them to.

What does everyone have to say if the three originals were re-recorded?
I'd say that it would not improve the films in the slightest. Therefore, Lucas should spend his money on making new films and stop f**king around with 20+ year old movies.

Jaws, on a scale of 1 to 10.

Threepio said it perfectly in Mos Eisley as that fake looking CG stormtrooper dismounted the dewback.
