robthehand 3 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 1. Each round, you vote for what you think is the weakest score. After 24 hours, the weakest score will be knocked out, and so on, until there is only one score left - the winner.2. Each poll is set for 24 hours, any votes AFTER that time won't register.3. If there is a tie between 2 or more scores, in order to keep things moving along, ALL of them will be knocked out, UNLESS it is the last round where there are only 2 scores left anyway (otherwise both would be knocked out and there would be no winner).Please report any errors *politely*. - - - - - - - - - - - In round one Conrack was voted off, round two Images, round three The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing and The Missouri Breaks, round four The Paper Chase, round five The Long Goodbye, round six Cinderella Liberty, round seven The Sugarland Express, round eight The Eiger Sanction, round nine Earthquake, round ten The Poseidon Adventure, Midway and Black Sunday, round eleven Family Plot, round twelve The Towering Inferno, round thirteen The Cowboys, round fourteen 1941, round fifteen Dracula, round sixteen Jaws 2, so your choices are:JawsStar WarsClose Encounters of the Third KindThe FurySuperman - The Movieor: I can't vote yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 55 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 A tough choice. Alma wanted THE FURY (she always did have a soft spot for Kirk's dimple) but alas she doesn't wear the pants in his house. CE3K for me. Hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Jaws, but only because Superman's highlights are so good. But sadly, the best score (or at least one of the two best scores) on the list will be lost this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm curious as to why 4 people voted for Jaws. We're talking about the score here, with its impact, power, and effectiveness in the movie. With The Fury still up there, I don't understand how anyone can vote for Jaws at this point.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Jaws is a good, very effective score, with some outstanding bits.

Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I can't choose between The Fury and Superman. I've grown to thoroughly enjoy all of The Fury lately, while Superman starts off with some of Williams' best-ever material, and then fizzles away.I guess it won't matter what I vote - The Fury is going anyway.

Â We're talking about the score here, with its impact, power, and effectiveness in the movie. Â With The Fury still up there, I don't understand how anyone can vote for Jaws at this point.TimAs a voter of Jaws ,I have to admit that I love the movie(easily in my top 3 list) andI love the music in it. The sound of the OS is little bit crappy 70's but the collaboration cd proves that the music is wonderful.The Fury is more versatile music and the presentation in the soundtrack is great.I've always been very curious about one thing: Are people voting in these polls the music with the movie or music itself.For me it is ,in the end , music itself.

John Crichton 4 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I think it speaks volumes about The Fury's status and how much respect it's gotten since the complete score was released a couple of years ago that it made it this far. The only other ones left up there are four undeniable Williams masterpieces and four of his most famous and important works ever. That's pretty good.

That's pretty good.Yes - I noticed that too......I dare say there are quite a few - including myself - who had no idea that Williams was connected with The Fury until starting to visit these boards....and certainly had no idea that it is as good as it is.....and now it is up there with the masterpieces....

orrakul 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Jaws is greater than any score left on this 70's poll.As much as I enjoy it, Jaws is not greater than Star Wars, Close Encounters or even Superman (IMO)...Shame about The Fury not being so iconic.I remember liking The Fury, but not being blown away by it. I think I'll dust off my Deluxe Edition, and give it another listen - it's not even on my iPod. Perhaps my initial reaction to this score is due to the fact I didn't like the film...
