indy4 152 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 It was a toss up for me, between Star Wars and E.T., but I think I'll have to go with E.T. I didn't include Fiddler on the Roof, since it wasn't his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant 1,093 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 JawsBest marriages between film and music in history are Jaws , E.T , Raiders of the lost Ark and CE3K.I would have liked to vote Raiders but it didn't win an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 2,082 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Tricky one. E.T. has some stunning individual moments, but Star Wars flows a little better for me overall. I would almost go for Schindler's List, as I gave that another listen the other day and loved every note, but it just doesn't quite reach the other two.Star Wars it is.

JoeinAR 1,759 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 If I had to put these in order it would be 1. E.T.2. Jaws3. Star Wars4. Schindler's List, as good as it is, its not in those three's league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yes this thread asks us for a comparison. Since you have stated an argumant, I demand that you defend and explain it, Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,759 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hell in order of films I still go1.ET2.Jaws3.Star Wars4.Schindler's List a distant 4. it may be SS only Oscar winner for best Picture but its the 3rd strongest of his 3 films here.

Henry B 49 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Well, while sentimentality is right for E.T. it is not for Schindler's List. The music is too sweet and emotional. Only "Auschwitz / Birkenau" clues the listener in to the horrors of the Holocaust (and it turns out to be a trick, but that has to do with the film).It's far from a terrible score; it just misses the mark by a bit.

Red 73 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 E.T.However, all 4 of those scores are all magnificent in their own way, and are among Williams' very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,759 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 No, a proper press release would say, John Williams, composer of such scores as Missouri Breaks, Images, Angela's Ashes, and Rosewood.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.T. is pretty good, and Schindler's List is... manipulative.Yes, except I disagree with your SL comment. The film may well be manipulative, the score most certainly isn't. It's actually one of Williams' most detached scores. Beautiful, haunting, but not manipulative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 9 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 True, I was thinking about 70's Williams Amricana (extending up to The River). And, hey, that love theme ain't bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
