K.M.Who thinks he voted on this poll last week

That was all composers. I thought we needed a Williams only one.

EDIT- The Phantom Menace is my vote. It's REAL close though, ROJ, TOD, and both HPs are up there too.

[King Mark 3,632]

By the way the cue "Going to Sleep" from Heartbeeps is one of my favourite chorus Williams tracks,but it's not in the poll.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Call of the Champions.

But that wasn't for a film, so I voted for TPM.

(BTW, you could've also included Rosewood.)

[Guest]

I would have to say Empire of the Sun.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,269]

CE3K.

[Luke Skywalker 1,815]

EP VI ROJ.

Just for those 30 secs of breathtaking duel music.

Plus it has the emperors theme and Victory Celebration.

And two alternate endings with Ewok chorus! :roll:

[fommes 154]

The Dementors Converge, Finale and Double Trouble.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

EP IV ROJ.

That movie doesn't exist.

This is hard. I can't decide, really.

[Marian Schedenig 8,276]

ROTJ, of those listed at least (easier to decide when not thinking about the rest).

[Justin 2]

Nothing beats DOTF. Although many come close.

[Ollie 1,069]

I can't make up my mind!!!!!! banghead

[Marian Schedenig 8,276]

Nothing beats DOTF.

The Dark Side Beckons does.

I'm shocked Temple of Doom hasn't gotten any votes. Maybe it's because not many people have heard it outside of the film.

The Temple of Doom sanskrit chants (the ancestor of DotF in a way ), the chorus in Stealing the Stones, the choral statement of the Slave Children theme at the end. Great stuff!

John- also agreeing nothing beats DotF, a big reason he voted for TPM. But the chorus/orchestra final duel explosion and Emperor killing Luke cues DO come very, very close.

[Romão 2,276]

TPM.

ROTj is great too, but as with TOd, the choir is not used very often (I can only think of the Emperor's theme and Dark Side Beckons)

[QMM 4]

1. TPM

2. ROTJ

3. EOTS

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

ROTj is great too, but as with TOd, the choir is not used very often (I can only think of the Emperor's theme and Dark Side Beckons)

Victory Celebration

[Romão 2,276]

Yeah, and when the Emperor is grilling Luke.

[Falstaft 2,133]

There's always that little moment in the Approaching Cloud City Cue with about 10 seconds of female chorus.

But, as a serious choice, I'd have to go with Empire of the Sun.

[Luke Skywalker 1,815]

EP IV ROJ.

That movie doesn't exist.

This is hard. I can't decide, really.

If Neil reads that hes gonna kill me!!!!!!

How could i miswrote the numbers 8O

Luke, editing his post, embarrased

[Lurker 5]

Luke,

I read everything.

Neil

[Ollie 1,069]

A thankless job indeed.

[John Crichton 4]

Wow, this is probably the closest poll I've ever seen here. A huge range of opinion.

[Henry B 50]

ROTj is great too, but as with TOd, the choir is not used very often (I can only think of the Emperor's theme and Dark Side Beckons)

There's also the creepy and vastly underappreciated choral music that underscores Vader's meeting with the Emperor in the throne room ("I told you to stay on the command ship.").

[King Mark 3,632]

Yeah,I love that part.Themeless and creepy enough.

K.M.

[John Crichton 4]

Yeah,I love that part.Themeless and creepy enough.

K.M.

Yeah, that is great. An obvious place for an Emperor's Theme statement, but going with an unthematic chorus for one cue was a great idea.

A personal favorite of mine is the chorus under the Imperial March as Vader takes Luke before the Emperor.

[Falstaft 2,133]

Aren't there some wierd electronics featured in that cue that don't appear on the SEs?

Maybe on the anthology, I'll have to check that later.

[The Prick vs The DD 0]

EP IV ROJ.

That movie doesn't exist.

You must not have heard of the 'somewhere in the nearby future' edition then?

[The Prick vs The DD 0]

Gloria is beautifull, but I guess it's a musical piece that stand on it's own, even in the movie I'm guessing.

[TIEfighter 0]

well...TPM, although RotJ comes really close...

[Jeshopk 8]

ROTJ! If only for delivering that catharsis of Luke defeating his Father.

[John Crichton 4]

I was listening to Hook recently and I can't believe I forgot to include it in the poll. It deserves a spot, there's some great choral bits there. Oh well, that's what the Other option is for.

[SeekUYoda 0]

ROTJ, because no Williams choral work has held my attention over the years more than The Emperor's Theme and the ending of ROTJ. Wow.

[McD 0]

Empire of the Sun may or may not be the best, but as soon as I read the poll (without seeing the options) it's the one that started playing in my head. So it gets my vote.

[King Mark 3,632]

There's somekind of theremin effect I hear better on the Anthology (Faking th Code)
