I do not hear anything?

it takes a few seconds to buffer.

Fun game!

And yes, I caught all of them. Not too hard for the seasoned fan.

:)

You shouldn't have given away the answers, though.

well done getting them all. I did put the answers on another page to avoid temptation :)

Well done in any case!

Perhaps someone should one with more difficult tracks -- obscure, unreleased, early things etc, to really separate the boys from the men. Hey, maybe I'll do one. What program did you use to make it?

You got 10 out of 18 there. :cheer:

Throw in a track from an expanded release, that should stump Thor ;)

I will do another one in the week and make it harder

So, Faleel, you never listened to Memoirs of Geisha (18)? You should, it has some beatiful music! :)

I actually thought it was SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET for the first few seconds, before I remembered it. They have very similar textures.

It sounded a bit too RCP for my taste.

Nice quiz, Welshslide.

My score was 11 out of 18 :|

5 of my "Don't know" answers were because they are scores I don't own, even though I've watched the films.

2 of them were errors.

* No.5 I'd put down as Jurassic Park (I think it had reminded me of 'My Friend the Brachiosauras' or something) instead of flying sequence from Superman.

* No.11 was put down as Jaws, not Jaws 2.

Loved the way the clips flowed overlapped into each other gracefully. It's probably an insight into what a Mr Williams dream is like during the night. :lick:

Since I'm a die hard Williams fans and my brother is a die hard Zimmer fan, we tested each other like this once. I went through and played tracks from Zimmer scores and had him guess, and he did that for me with Williams.

We ended up both doing very badly, honestly. I picked some obscure title like Green Card that had some weird African elements :lol:

Well as Thor said this is not too difficult for a seasoned John Williams fan. :)

18/18 btw.

But please give Close Encounters a chance, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

Indeed. It was easy to guess the specific tracks as well.

I urge you guys to try this one, I haven't been able to identifiy 2 clips out of 90
