Through 2,734 results? 8O If you think Superman is William's best, then why isn't it your favorite?It's better than any other (I've heard) but I find E.T. "easier" to listen to.

Romão 2,274 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My favorite is Return of the Jedi, but I consider the best to be E. T and Close Encounters, just for their amazing functionality in the film.In terms of pure music quality, I considerer Schindler's List to be his greateast achievement.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I would imagine that the JW Top 10 is still "official."

artyjeffrey 20 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 My favourite is Star Wars, followed by Superman in a bit of a tie with Empire.Speaking of Empire (which is appearing quite a bit in this thread), is it true that the master tapes are missing for this classic?
