MrJosh 892 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Superman and Close Encounters are perfection, John Williams at his greatest. But I voted for Hook because it has a childlike innocence and magic that really connects to me more than the other two scores. But it's a little like picking a favorite child....you love them all....well, except for Jimmy.....get back in the closet, Jimmy!!!! Ahem...where was I.....right. Hook is magical.For film.....I want to watch them all back to back to decide, but Superman may be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I don't know...this is a real tough poll.. Close Encounters is a great score, but it doesn't really come to the quality of Hook and Superman for me. And if I had to choose, I guess I'd put Superman on top, followed by Hook and then CE3K. All of them being great scores. Superman is just up the extra mile of JW awesomeness.As for the films, CE3K is easily miles ahead of the other two...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Superman is a better score than Close Encounters though both are close, both 5 stars out of 5, both scores are far better than Hook!Superman is a better film than Close Encounter by a little, both are excellent, both films are far better than Hook which is a a dreadful film on so many levels from the horrible acting by Robin Williams, which is his usual, to the horrible miscast Julia Roberts. Only a few stand out, Dustin Hoffman is good, and at times he's excellent. Ms Brody/McGonagull/Smith is always excellent and I could never say a bad thing about her. Williams' score to Hook never hooked me.Superman is better than all but two Steven Spielberg films, or SS/JW scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This is a tough one, I love all 3 films, and scores equally. They all give me goosebumps and a great time. But if I have to pick on to take with me to a deserted island:Score: Superman: thrills, emotion, themes, all of them in abundance. Classic Williams which can't be beaten.Movie: CE3K: because of the sci-fi theme, many spine-tingling moments, Spielberg's direction, his attention to the characters, and the score of course.

Josh500 1,615 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I don't think Hook is a great movie . . . a decent or even good movie, maybe, but it's not great. (Unless it has great nostalgia value for you, I guess.)On the other hand, I would say both CE3K and Superman are great movies (classics!), for most anybody.
