Jay 37,045 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Star Wars 2 and 3, Harry Potter 1-3, and Indiana Jones 4 are excludedI predict Geisha will win, but my vote probably goes to The TerminalAs always, you are voting on the ENTIRE score, not just whatever portions have been officially released.70s Poll80's Poll 90's Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckM 1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The Patriot, followed closely by Catch Me if You Can and The Terminal.As with Schindler's List in the other thread, A.I. has never really been all that appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 A.I. is my favorite score of the 2000s, including all the blockbuster and franchise scores.Yeah. Like Williams' other greatest scores (in my opinion), it can be best appreciated through a complete and chronological listening sequence. Every note counts. As with Schindler's List, I think the "best of" style album sequence drags this score down (along with that Josh Groban/Lara Fabian foolishness). Completing the score with the two-disc Academy Award promo is essential. ** Of course, you can only do this if you are a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and received a copy of this promo for the 2002 Oscars. Any information regarding the complete score to A.I. is based purely on the score as heard on the film. I do not know what, if any, complete score material the Academy promo may or may not contain.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Catch Me If You Can breaks away pretty easily from the rest of pack. A.I. is a distant second, despite featuring some of the most gorgeous melodies Williams has ever written. The love theme from The Patriot is also one of Williams's strongest themes from the decade, especially as performed by Mark O'Connor, but it's not enough to rescue the rest of the score.

John Crichton 4 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's textbook middle of the road Williams: not great but not bad.

MissPadmé 17 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I voted for A.I., simply because at this time I am really into Philip Glass music. and A.I. has a lot of glass influence (or some atleast!)all the others are equally fantastic and simply genius.. except The Patriot which is the worst of this list (except the Main Theme Concert Version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSM 120 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Catch Me If You Can never really worked for me. I don't know why. Maybe it reminds me too much of JW's suspense motifs like the raptor motif (I believe it's called like that) in Jurassic Park, which feels out of place in a comedy like CMIYC.

People really love major key themes.Do you seriously believe that's all there is to A.I.?No, but I would bet most people are voting for the lullaby theme. I love all the dissonant stuff, but most people don't seem to enjoy that crazy underscore as much as a straightforward major key melody. I would rank AI very high, but I actually voted for WOTW.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 As did I (the whole album, anyways). I always start fidgeting during "The Mecha World" because I am just anticipating "Abandoned in the Woods" so much. Really, the only Track that I do not like is "Cybertronics". It starts out pretty nice, but the moment the...unconventional music starts, I press the Fast Forward button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
