What John Williams Title Would You Like Next?

[Ollie 859]

These are the ones I see the most discussions on at various message boards.

I purposely left out Family Plot.

The Sugarland Express is the first film that Willaims and Spielberg worked on together and would fill an important hole in Williams's discography.

1941 is not represented that well on CD in my opinion. While there is an isolated score on the DVD/Laserdisc there is a wealth of music that would make an expanded version without tracking, looping and editing well worth it. Plus the dialogue and explosions on the original album are annoying.

Dracula is out of print plus the sound is rather poor. Not sure how much music is missing.

Jaws 2 is only missing about 5-10 minutes of music but would benefit with a re-release, plus it wouldn't hurt to add the missing music.

Black Sunday is one of Williams better efforts from the 70's.

How To Steal A Million - from what I've heard the original scoring tracks are lost/destroyed so the album would be the only possibe way to release this.

The Rare Breed and None But The Brave are probably 2 films that only a handful of us have actually seen and are familiar with the music.

Spacecamp was limited originally and a re-release would be great for those who missed it. Plus the sound could use some improvement.

[RuBen_Kenobi 16]

All of these soundtracks are out of cataologue, and the only one that I have is 1941, so all opcions would be good for me. Anyway I would go with Jaws 2, then Dracula

[Bryant Burnette 451]

For me, the real answer is Family Plot . . . but apart from that, I voted for The Rare Breed. I like the suite on the Close Encounters compilation, so I'd like to hear the rest at some point.

Really, though, I'd be for seeing all of the above.

[King Mark 2,924]

I'll sat Dracula ,but the complete score as heard in the film .It sounded totally different than the OST

[Mattris 314]

Like KM said. Dracula, without a doubt.

[Hlao-roo 388]

Black Sunday is perhaps Williams's best score for a thriller.

[MrScratch 292]

Next to Temple of Doom and Family Plot, I've always wanted a Fury-style deluxe release of The Eiger Sanction with the complete film version on one disc and the album presentation on the other disc.

[Ollie 859]

I'm glad to see some love for The Eiger Sanction. It could use some cleaning up. I probably should have included it on the list.

[Richard Penna 2,083]

I've never heard more than the main theme to any of them, not a particularly exciting list to be honest.

[publicist 4,484]

'DRACULA'!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Romão 1,931]

A complete Jane Eyre would be most welcome.

[MrScratch 292]

A complete Jane Eyre would be most welcome.

That would be impossible, isn't this one of those lost scores that exist now only on LP and CD.

[pixie_twinkle 44]

Probably Black Sunday.

I have original CDs of:

1941

Dracula

Jaws 2

How To Steal A Million

Spacecamp

and I'm pretty happy with them. I'd far rather get a CD of a score that hasn't been released yet.

[John Crichton 4]

Definately Dracula.

[Koray Savas 2,095]

The Sugarland Express

[JoeinAR 1,759]

Black Sunday, definately or the Missouri Breaks, I know MB isn't on the list and many hate it, I do not, its better than his more recent drama scores

[Koray Savas 2,095]

Is there a lot of music from The Missouri Breaks not released on the CD?

[JoeinAR 1,759]

I don't know, I thought the current cd was short.

[indy4 152]

If not Family Plot, then I guess SpaceCamp.

[ChuckM 1]

Black Sunday. The single track suite I have heard from it is awesome!

[King Mark 2,924]

Spacecamp c.d. isn't missing much music .Only thing noteworthy is the fanfare Arriving to Daedulus Station

K.M.

[Williamsfan301 11]

Dracula. Definitely Dracula. Mostly because I've never heard it.

[Red 73]

Dracula. Definitely Dracula. Mostly because I've never heard it.

<_<

. . . Probably Dracula for me as well.

[Koray Savas 2,095]

I own Dracula, and paid a hefty $36 for it. Never release it again!!!!!

[scissorhands 16]

It's your fault for having paid for something that will get an expanded release sooner or later.

[Delorean90 32]

Ooh! This is tough! I'm not familiar with Black Sunday. I'd probably say The Sugarland Express or SpaceCamp, but based on what I've heard and the reputations of the ones I haven't, any of those would be great.

[Koray Savas 2,095]

It's your fault for having paid for something that will get an expanded release sooner or later.

I'm not crazy! No, no, no!

[Bryant Burnette 451]

Black Sunday, definately or the Missouri Breaks, I know MB isn't on the list and many hate it, I do not, its better than his more recent drama scores

I love The Missouri Breaks. (The score, that is; never seen the movie, although I;d like to at some point.) The love theme is one of the best Williams has ever written, possibly second only to the one in Superman.

I also second -- or third, or whatever -- the love other folks were expressing for The Eiger Sanction earlier. I love it when Williams goes into his breezy jazz mode, and that's what some of this score reminds me of. Again, I've never seen the movie, but would like to: even if it sucks, it's Clint Eastwood, so I'd be entertained.

[indy4 152]

It's not that bad. Definetly not a film I would want to see more than once, but it was enjoyable enough when I was watching it.

And I do really like the score.

[Kendal_Ozzel 32]

SpaceCamp, Dracula, and then How to Steal a Million would be the top three for me. But counting Eiger Sanction, I'd probably make that number two. SpaceCamp... just really deserves to be on CD for all to have. (Or at least 3,000 to have.) It's too beautiful a score to be so rare.

[fommes 126]

I'm afraid The Eiger Sanction is at the absolute top of my list as well Mark! What a great score. Next up are 1941, Sugarland Express, and Dracula. Considering that there's a complete boot out there for Family Plot, I'd rather have the real unreleased music first, so that's at the bottom actually.

I wish there was more discussion of these releases on boards like FSM and Intrada, so that they would know there's a demand for these sort of titles as well (like Eiger Sanction). I love Goldsmith but each time there's a reportedly really big holy grail released, it seems like it's Goldsmith. Blast 'm for being one of the best!

[crocodile 6,294]

Black Sunday. I'm not familiar with it and I heard it's a good one. So I'm curious.

Karol

[fommes 126]

A rerecording of The Poseidon Adventure would also be nice.

[crocodile 6,294]

All of these would have been nice. In a nice 9 CD package

Karol

[Maglorfin 195]

I voted for Dracula, which is followed by Jaws 2, Sugarland Express and Black Sunday.

[John Crichton 4]

I love The Missouri Breaks. (The score, that is; never seen the movie, although I;d like to at some point.) The love theme is one of the best Williams has ever written, possibly second only to the one in Superman.

Well it's not that good (I'd rank both SW love themes above it for a start) but it is a very nice theme.

I'm surprised at the lack of love for Jaws 2. I'd put it second behind Dracula on my list.

[demons 0]

Definitley Sugarland Express. I love it!

[Koray Savas 2,095]

SpaceCamp will get a 3,000 limited re-release eventually. I'm sure of it. Dracula, Jaws 2, and 1941 won't happen for awhile if not ever. The Eiger Sanction is available for a reasonable price, and I don't think there is a high demand for that one.

The Sugarland Express and Black Sunday seem to me to be the JW scores most ideal for release.

[Trent Hoyt 13]

I'm not familiar with any of them, Williams is the only composer I'll buy without already knowing the material. I'd be happy with any release.

[Maestro 57]

Black Sunday, because it's the only post-60s comedies JW score I've never heard a drop of music from.

[Hlao-roo 388]

Black Sunday, because it's the only post-60s comedies JW score I've never heard a drop of music from.

You should watch the film; on a purely visceral level, it still holds up pretty well as a thriller.

[Ollie 859]

Black Sunday, because it's the only post-60s comedies JW score I've never heard a drop of music from.

Bit of sarcasm?

[Maestro 57]

Not at all! At least, I don't think so...

[Ollie 859]

Your wording makes it seem like you view Black Sunday as a comedy.

It's a thriller about terrorists who plan to detonate a bomb during the Super Bowl.

[Hitch 55]

Great suspense...especially towards the end of the movie.

[Maestro 57]

Ah, I see the confusion. I simply meant, aside from Williams' output in the 50s/60s (mostly comedies), Black Sunday is the only score of his of which I have heard absolutely nothing.

Who knows how many times I have been guilty of involuntary sarcasm...

[Hitch 55]

I forgive you...but first you must give me your vote in the Presidential campaign going on in the Other Topics.

[MissPadmé 17]

I would say 1941, but I regret voting for it. i don't know.. I really like the music, but thinking of the movie doesn't give me a very good feeling.

I would lov to have Black Sunday next.

or, I know I am the absolute onlyone on this board who wants this: A complete score from "Sabrina" I am not kidding. It has nothing that interesting left out but this movie/music has a certain place in my heart. I would lov to something new of it.

[Hitch 55]

I love Sabrina and you won't be the only one wishing for a complete score either.

[indy4 152]

The score to 1941 is absolutely fantastic, though I despise the film. I don't really remember how much unreleased stuff I heard in the film, though.
