JoeinAR 1,759 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Saving Private Ryan, and guys SL is an overrated score, its not worthy of being included among JW's best works, and neither is SPR, another of those bland scores that might serve its purpose, which in the film is to be unnoticed, and as a seperate listening experience it still goes unnoticed.

Sandor 459 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I don't understand it either... Still; it DID happen and I would have never thought it possible. I find these polls therefore very exciting and unpredictable. And now Amistad seems to be next on the drop-out list... This amazes me... Schindler's List may be the best score of Williams' career and it's "departure" is regrettable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(together with Schindler's List the unquestionable masterpieces of Williams' career closely followed by Jaws, Hook, Jurassic Park and Born On The 4th Of July), but seriously: The Towering Inferno and The Lost World????

Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 JFK. Though with first Rosewood out and now Schindler's List, it's getting ridiculous. I can't figure how scores like Geisha and Munich survived for so long in the last poll - especially Geisha falls pretty much into Schindler's category, only SL is a far better score.

Henry B 49 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 It's very taboo to criticize Schindler's List: if you don't like it, then you're a bombastic Star Wars geek. Or a Nazi. The nature of the material (the film) prevents a fully honest discussion of the music. That said, I certainly didn't vote for SL, and was dismayed to see it go.

I personally don't find any fault with Williams choice for the music taking a back seat. After all he still wrote one of his best concert pieces for the film. Honestly, not every score can be marches wall-to-wall. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
