filmmusic 1,843 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Weird question, eh? (by the way, i don't know if this is the right expression. If something is more appropriate, please corrrect.I believe you know what I mean. When your body hair is up! hehe. well, you might not have any body hair, but you understand again!)this question came into my mind, because i was making a top 10 of films of all time in another forum, and I watched the beginning of Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom (incidentaly it is in my top 10)I don't know why, but when Williams' name appears on screen it gives me the shivers..and I don't remember feeling this in other JW scored film.it's the modulation in music, the upward quick scales, I don't know..

mrbellamy 6,293 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I do a mental fist pump pretty much anytime his name comes up, but it's been extra special to see it since he stopped doing anything but Spielberg films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's a good one. I also feel his credit had more gravitas in the Home Alone and E.T. main titles, for whatever reason.Last Crusade's is a really underrated moment with the shot panning down the double arch.

Naïve Old Fart 9,554 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Obviously, for me, the most important credit to give me the shivers, is the score that made me sit up and take notice of this Williams bloke: "The Towering Inferno".Other than that, "Superman" always does it for me. When JW's name appeared on the credits of "Superman Returns", there were tears. Seeing his name against that music was too much.I know it's silly, but...

Thor 7,521 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Can't say that I get any particular 'shivers' from reading his name, especially not in older films. But it has happened when I've seen a NEW film with his music in it, and when said music has had a pronounced presence in the opening credits.
