1970's:Superman and Close Encounters

1980's:The Empire Strikes Back and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Jane Eyre is from 1971.

I'd go with:

1970's: Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind

1980's: Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

1990's: Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park

2000's: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Naturally, there's more great stuff, and also a lot of excellent scores that aren't as heavy on the boom-tzzzz as these ones, but these are the top two I'd pick.

1980's - E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark

1990's - Hook and Schindler's List

2000's - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Memiors of a Geisha

Not the most original list, but a good one I think. The 1980's decade was the hardest for me to decide upon as it is probably Williams best period to date.

P.S. - I'm sure all of you were surprised at that Hook was in my list. :D
