Jay 37,281 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Empire, Raiders, ET, ROTJ, Temple of Doom, and Indy 3 are excludedOf these scores I only own Heartbeeps (wacky!), The River (listened to one time and don't remember it), SpaceCamp (fun!), Witches of Eastwick (listened to one time and don't remember it), and Accidental Tourist (haven't listened to it yet)I can't predict which score will win this one...As always, you are voting on the ENTIRE score, not just whatever portions have been officially released.70s Poll90's Poll 00's Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I received both Monsignor and Empire of the Sun in the mail yesterday, but I am reluctant to admit that I have not listened to Empire of the Sun yet. I think I will do that now...(Currently listening to "Meeting in Sicily") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've never heard a note of either of those scores (other than the EOTS stuff on the Spielberg/Williams CDs). I really need to see the movies and get hte scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If you like high-register and lyrical strings passages with a hint of The Fury, you would probably like Monsignor very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I recently discovered that Monsignor was still in print and available from www.moviemusic.com, so I'll probably be ordering it along with Star Trek and Lost Season 4 very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davros72 1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 There's something special about "Always" for me, so I voted for that one. But "Empire of the Sun" as a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Empire of the Sun. One of Williams' most underrated actually.Born on the Fourth of July, The Accidental Tourist, and Witches of Eastwick are good ones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,625 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'm going to vote for Spacecamp...it has the "classic" fun JW sound all the way through.One of the most underrated JW scores ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, it'd be SpaceCamp for me too...Monsignor is a close second though. I wouldn't say there's a bad score in the bunch, though Always tends to drag terribly for me. I guess the horn solos redeem it somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
