Rate your JW scores from 0 to 5 stars.

[JoeinAR 1,759]

I decided to start from the 70's specifically the Cowboys, instead of Fiddler which wasn't John's music although you can feel his touch. I went with a 5 star system its a bit more flexible than a 4 star system, and I've allowed the boards influences to modify my ratings.

[GoldsmithFanatic2000+ 0]

All absolutely dreadful.

Sorry, couldn't help myself Joe.

[Hlao-roo 388]

Perhaps a little heavy-handed, Joe?

[Ollie 859]

I can give you my 5 star scores:

Star Wars

The Empire Strikes Back

Jaws

Jane Eyre

CE3K

E.T.

Raiders

Superman

Schindler's List

[JoeinAR 1,759]

Perhaps a little heavy-handed, Joe?

sometimes Alan to kill a fly you must use a cruise missle.

Joe, is this our wake up call?

[Henry B 49]

[Richard Penna 2,082]

Meh...

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

Haha, pretty good reflection of the board's opinion as a whole. And thanks for the F&A nod

[Quintus 5,391]

This thread is about a subtle as the Black Death.

[MSM 85]

Wow Joe, you don't have a job to do?

[Quintus 5,391]

Gladiator is a Hans Zimmer's masterpiece. Just felt like throwing that in there, at the risk of dumbing down a lot of his other great scores of course. Like Driving Miss Daisy.

[JoeinAR 1,759]

Gladiator is a Hans Zimmer's masterpiece. Just felt like throwing that in there, at the risk of dumbing down a lot of his other great scores of course. Like Driving Miss Daisy.

well someone had to bring it into the thread, but of course I agree, its a complete masterpiece, totally and utterly.

Munich ***** a masterpiece

Who influenced that? Koray? The positive feedback seems a little slim to call it a "masterpiece". Unless, tis your opinion only.

koray isn't my inspiration, nor is it really my opinion, but its more of a total inspiration from the board that seems to think that all of john's music is a masterpiece, except for the real masterpieces of course.

Like this one you mean :

Memoirs of a Geisha ***** a masterpiece

To note my 5-star scores, MOAG is way at the top.

[JoeinAR 1,759]

its maybe at best a 3 star out of 5 on my list.

[Luke Skywalker 1,284]

you shouls have put underlined and bold 'in my list' too

[Neimoidian 13]

The Empire Strikes Back ***** the best JW ever, ever, ever, MASTERPIECE

I certainly agree.

[Morlock 9]

You forgot to list Yes, Giorgio. Greatest song ever.

[Quintus 5,391]

I've not even heard Geisha's score. That would be because I am yet to see the film, which I probably never will.

I've heard The Chairman's Waltz though. It was okay I suppose.

[MissPadmé 17]

Based on the ratings for this particular scores all I can say is that any man on his right mind would fall for you on a heartbeep

[Luke Skywalker 1,284]

i would

[MissPadmé 17]

Based on the ratings for this particular scores all I can say is that any man on his right mind would fall for you on a heartbeep

Lol wow.. Certainly nice to hear that

normally all the guys in my area just fall asleep when I start talking about Johnny!

[Mr. Breathmask 480]

Clearly, there aren't enough nerds in your area.

[JoeinAR 1,759]

Here are my real ratings,

The Cowboys **** love this score,

Poseidon Adventure *** ok disaster score

Images *** interesting, different than most any JW, but not a fav

Earthquake *** very jazzy,

The Towering Inferno ***** best score of 1974 hands down

Jaws ***** perfection, absolute perfection

Missouri Breaks *** I thoroughly enjoy this score

Midway *** I appreciate this score but rarely listen

Star Wars ***** again perfection

Close Encounters of the Third Kind ***** greatest endtitle to any movie ever made.

The Fury **** much better than the film deserved,

Jaws 2 **** not better than Jaws as some say but a great companion piece

Superman ***** pefection cubed

Dracula *** a very gothic romantic, but not horror score

1941 **** underappreciated by this board, Swing Swing Swing is beyond greatness

The Empire Strikes Back ****1/2 not the best JW but a masterpiece for a sequel

Raiders of the Lost Ark ***** one of the best JW ever, iconic

ET ***** Godlike in quality.

Monsignor **** another great score for a bad film

Return of the Jedi ***1/2 very good but unever

Temple of Doom ****1/2 great follow up to Raiders, the equal of ESB

The River **** this score is played more for sporting events than most will ever realize

Spacecamp *** fun

Witches of Eastwick *** fun but never a favorite of mine

Empire of the Sun ***** for Peio(and what a great score)

Accidental Tourist ***** so good and few know it.

Last Crusade **1/2 apart from a few ques a very weak score

Born on the Forth of July ** I suppose it services the film but I have no connection to it.

Always * it’s the worst JW score

Home Alone **** a holiday tradition

Hook ** again I have never connected to this score

Far and Away **** I like this score and I play it alot but its not a 5 star score

Home Alone 2 *** James Horner syndrome strikes JW

Jurassic Park ***** the best JW score of 1993

Schindler’s List **** the 2nd best JW score of 1993 and not a masterpiece, its very very good, but not in the class of his other Oscar winners

The Lost World ***** a true masterpiece, so much better than the film, and such a departure from JP

Amistad ** defines dust collector, it gets played once a year

Saving Private Ryan ** one of the most overrated scores of John's career.

Stepmom *** there is a hatred for this score that I've never understood, its pleasant and quaint

Phantom Menace ****1/2 a near Masterpiece

The Patriot, *** see Stepmom

AI ***1/2 very good at times, very bad at others,

Sorcerer’s Stone ****1/2 its a minor masterpiece, best of the 00's

Attack of the Clones * worst of the 00's

Minority Report *** interesting work, but it needed to be better

Chamber of Secrets **** features two of the best themes of JW twilight years

Prisoner of Azkaban ****1/2 another minor masterpiece just a shy less than Sorcerer's Stone

Terminal * sits among the worst

Catch Me if You Can, **** Johnny revisited

Revenge of the Sith *** best when its from Star Wars

War of the Worlds *** not great, not bad, but enjoyable

Memoirs of a Geisha ***1/2 a fine all around score but JW has done so much better.

Munich * ranks among John's worst efforts, just a failure of film and score.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls, ** to start for the Indy theme, will it be better than LC, shouldn't be hard to do.

[MissPadmé 17]

Clearly, there aren't enough nerds in your area.

Well most of them are Car-nerds in my area... pretty boring

[Mr. Breathmask 480]

Cars?

Yawn indeed.

I only enjoy cars when they're on Top Gear. And even then it's mostly about the hosts' antics.

[Quintus 5,391]

Here are my real ratings,

Hook ** again I have never connected to this score

Okay, forget it as a working score. Do you like the music as a standalone listen? As a musical album?

Perhaps that is exactly how you review a score anyway, I don't know.

For me Hook is about as entertaining as JW gets, speaking strictly from a musical standpoint.

I've always felt that the music as score is a tad ott.

For me Hook is about as entertaining as JW gets, speaking strictly from a musical standpoint.

I've always felt that the music as score is a tad ott.

not a bit, I think Hook is a weak score, album, and its among the 3 or 4 worst films of Spielberg's career.

Stefan and Chris Chrusher have tried to help me like the score, I do have Stefans awesome complete version, but I don't find it enjoyable for the most part, but I do like the elevator music in it but not enough to listen but once a year, as I review all JW scores.

[indy4 152]

I know this is a joke thread, but I'm bored, so I'm gonna list mine anyways!

The Cowboys ****1/2 A fantastic score

Images *** very unique, but not always completely listenable on its own...

The Eiger Sanction *** nice melodies, nice tunes

Monsignor *** again, very nice score

Jaws ****it did wonders for the film, and it is a pretty good overall listen

Midway **1/2 the march is great, but I don't listen to it much other than that

Star Wars ****1/2 absolutely fantastic, some of the most exciting music ever written

Close Encounters of the Third Kind **** to be honest, I like the suite on By Request more than anything on the actual soundtrack. still, some truly fantastic music. i need to listen to this more often.

Jaws 2 ****1/2 one of JW's best, better than the Jaws (in terms of listening experiance)

Superman **** the march and the love theme are one of JW's best, and it has some other great material as well

1941 ****1/2 very fun, entertaing, excellent score

Empire Strikes Back ***** one of JW's very best, it has great themes and great music overall. a masterpiece.

Raiders of the Lost Ark ****1/2 excellent

E.T. ***** a masterpiece, the finale is one of the greatest finales ever written

Return of the Jedi **** not as good as the other two, but still fantastic

Temple of Doom ****1/2 fabulous, almost as good as Raiders

Witches of Eastwick ***1/2 very macabre-like, very fun, "Dance of the Witches" is great

Empire of the Sun **** great score, "Jim's New Life" and "Cadillac of the Skies" are magnificent

Last Crusade ***** a masterpiece, best Indy score

Home Alone ***** another masterpiece, very fun

Hook***** yet another masterpiece (three in a row!)

Far and Away **** fabulous score, with music which is both exhilerating and beautiful. "The Land Race" is one of JW's best.

Home Alone 2 **** great score indeed. the new songs and underscore is great, but much of it is reused from the first

Jurassic Park ****1/2 this score contains one of JW's best cues ever

The Lost World ****1/2 very exciting, safari adventure. very different from first, but still great

Sabrina *** i don't listen to this one much, but when I do I enjoy it

Phantom Menace **** 1/2 another fantastic score, with bright brass and very star-warsy

Saving Private Ryan **1/2 "Hymn to the Fallen" is absolutely brilliant, but the rest of the soundtrack isn't too interesting IMO

The Patriot *** not at all a bad score, nothing original, but a great theme and fanfare and some good underscore too

AI ***1/2 beautiful melodies, wonderful overall score

Sorcerer's Stone ***** a masterpiece, fabulous fabulous score

Attack of the Clones **** the worst of the SW films, but not at all bad. it deserves more credit

Minority Report **** excellent score, with the eeries strings of "Spyders" to the tenderness of "Sean's Theme" and "A New Beggining"

Chamber of Secrets **** almost all of the new stuff is superb. Fawkes is one of JW's best cues, as is Chamber.

Catch Me If You Can ****1/2 an excellent jazzy score. the main titles are great

Prisoner of Azkaban ***** a masterpiece, one of the most unique JW scores

The Terminal **** love the main theme, as well as the love theme. the rest of the score is nice

Revenge of the Sith ****1/2 very tragic, very said, and very hopeful as well. a great SW score, the best of the prequels

War of the Worlds **1/2 the worst JW score i own. Boring and uninteresting, though I do enjoy several cues

Memoirs of a Geisha *** some fantastic cues, but the score as a whole is rather boring

My masterpieces (according to the list):

Empire Strikes Back

E.T.

Last Crusade

Home Alone

Hook

Sorcerer's Stone

Prisoner of Azkaban

[JoeinAR 1,759]

He says he works at barnes and noble...but i think he must pretend to work while visiting the forums

I work at B&N only on tues & thurs nights.

I work as an internal auditor for the state during the day, meaning I do have down time as much of my job is waiting for people to lock themselves out of our various systems.

I'm not here all that often during the day

[Salacius 7]

Here are my real ratings,

Hook ** again I have never connected to this score

Thank you. Someone out there understands me.

hook 3 stars?....

[BurgaFlippinMan 7]

I decided to start from the 70's specifically the Cowboys, instead of Fiddler which wasn't John's music although you can feel his touch. I went with a 5 star system its a bit more flexible than a 4 star system, and I've allowed the boards influences to modify my ratings.

Munich ***** a masterpiece

Who influenced that? Koray? The positive feedback seems a little slim to call it a "masterpiece". Unless, tis your opinion only.

koray isn't my inspiration, nor is it really my opinion, but its more of a total inspiration from the board that seems to think that all of john's music is a masterpiece, except for the real masterpieces of course.

Well then AOTC certainly isn't as loved as you think it is, I think many ppl like it, but rank it at the bottom end of the Star Wars scores.m Chop off a star or two and you are good to go.

[scissorhands 16]

Good list, Joe

I don't think SPR is overrated though, generally it's in the bottom of people's lists.

Everyone is doing his own list, so I'll just add mine (at least it's interesting for me to see how my taste has evolved since I started posting here):

2005 - Munich *****

2005 - Memoirs of a Geisha *****

2005 - War of the Worlds *****

2005 - Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith *****

2004 - The Terminal ****1/5

2004 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban *****

2002 - Catch Me If You Can *****

2002 - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ***

2002 - Minority Report *****

2002 - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones *****

2001 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone *****

2001 - A.I. Artificial Intelligence *****

2000 - The Patriot ****1/5

1999 - Angela's Ashes *****

Couldn't this thread have been done in a 'RateMyHamster.com' format, for us who are tired after work?

You know, the album covers would jump up on screen and we'd have several choices of rating buttons to click before moving onto the next? I can't be bothered to go through my scores and type stars. Although, I took time out to type this post which kind of contradicts what I'm saying.................anyway, we delivered the bomb......I'll never put on a lifejacket again
