indy4 155 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Quint's poll was cute ( ), but on a JW board, generally nothing can stand up to SW as a franchise.I choose Raiders on both accounts. Maybe it's just because of the Indy rush, but I've really come to appreciate this score and film. But I still love SW to death.I'm sure this has been done before, but not in a while, so the results could still be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I prefer Raiders to SW, but that doesn't by any means make it the better film. As for the scores, I won't choose between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch 294 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Film: RaidersScore: Star WarsRaiders has the better script and acting. The music to Star Wars works better as a listening experience from beginning to end, than Raiders does. I rarely ever listen to Raiders in full, though some of the individual cues are as good as Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I disagree. I find the scores to be equally entertaining. Both have tiny moments of only marginal interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brigden 7 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I find nothing in SW that I cannot listen to. In Raiders, it's different. I can never listen to "The Basket Game." It's great in the movie, but on its own, I always skip it. The same goes for parts of the opening. The rest of it is gold though, but it's never been as complete a listening experience as SW has. Or indeed ESB, but that's an entirely different discussion altogether (and if someone makes an ESB vs TOD poll, I'll scream. Don't make me choose!).

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The Basket Game is brilliant! I love the bit where Marion runs into the doorway and knocks out her pursuer with the frying pan. JW showing exactly how to Mickey Mouse properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Star Wars is a better film, and a better piece of entertainment than Raiders, but not by much. Still I can watch Star Wars much easier over and over than Raiders. The dig on the acting is Star Wars is senseless, the performances are what they are, just as they are in Raiders. All are competent. You heard the same arguement for Jaws that you heard for Star Wars, performances are average at best, but its hard to watch Jaws today and not think just how good Roy, Dreyfuss, and Shaw are. Even if you don't think it in exactly the same way with Ford, Hamlin, and Fisher, you see each for the character they are, Solo, Skywalker, and the Princess. Alex Guiness is fantastic, and Peter Cushing absolutely devours the screen. Both films capture lightening in a bottle, but Star Wars captured a bit more obviously.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 If we want to get technical with acting and directing etc etc, then Raiders is the better film, but going on the full entertainment value Star Wars is miles ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
