Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Imagine you could change the history and had the chance to give John Williams those 5 Oscars he has won so far, but you could give it to the scores you think were deserving to win in your opinion. Which scores 5 would you award him for? Or would you keep the history the way it wrote itself?Roman.-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The E.T. and Schindler's List awards are obviously deserved. But I would grant the Star Wars one to The Empire Strikes Back, the Jaws one to AI (popularity reasons only, since they are a tie in quality), and the Fiddler on the Roof one to Catch Me if you Can.

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Star WarsE.T.Schindler's ListAngela's AshesHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's StoneMany thanks for your inputs, everyone!Sorry about the double-drama entry, but that's just me. I love this genre.I was eagerly expecting Neil's Oscars, among others', but I can't say whether I'm surprised to not find "The Fury" in it or not, the score I believed would be on his list. I admit it might not be that easy to decide. Seems like 5 Oscars are too few to allot......Roman.-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Towering Inferno, Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, ESB, Raider, ET, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter.I won't limit myself to five, I would just correct the injustices and give the films that deserved the scores and remove the one score that John won for but shouldn't have.

Morn 8 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I say Images because it's one of Williams most original scores and probably his early score most deserving of an oscar. Empire Strikes Back because it's better than ANH. I wouldn't give it to Raiders though because North's equally good Dragonslayer was nominated that year. Actually probably better, Raiders has quite a lot of.... filler material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
