SkyMaker 0 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I am having a hard time finding out huge movie stars that Williams hasn't scored for, either male or female. I am talking about well established stars, not the likes of teen idol, Leonardo DeCaprio, which, anyway, Williams is scoring for right now, in Catch Me If You Can. Cruise, Hanks, Ford, Julia Roberts, he's done all of them.Anyone you can think of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Riddle 0 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 How about looking at it from the reverse. To make it easier to see who he hasn't scored for look who he has scored for.Actors and Actress like, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Steve Mcqueen, Faye Dunaway, Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Richard Dryfuss, Robert Shaw, Roy Schieder, Gene Hackman, Walter Matthau, James Caan, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Fred Astair, Sir Alec Guinness, Charlton Heston, Shelly Winters, Kirk Douglas, Holly Hunter, Audrey Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Kevin Costner, Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Phiefer, William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Geena Davis,Burt Reynolds, Morgan Freeman, Jude Law, Sir Richard Attenborrough, Joe Pesci, John Candy, Sir Lawrence Olivia, Tom Cruise, James Woods, Joan Allen, Ed Harris, Julia Roberts, Sissy Spacek, Jack Lemmons, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, Drew Barrymore, Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace Stone, Melinda Dillion, Teri Garr, Karen Allen, Sean Connery, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Liam Neeson, Ewen McGregor, Mel Gibson,Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Susan Hayward, Brad Pitt, Dustin Hoffman, and many others.By my count thats at least 40 Academy award winners, some for acting, some for writing or directing. That is a very impressive talley. Some are double winners, and alot are nominees. The biggest star of them all has to be John Wayne, one of the great movie stars of all time.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hmmmm yeah well there is Russel Crowe but that guy is realy a NEW major star. I mean hes only been in 4 really big movies:1) Virtuosity (which sucked major ass) 8O 2) LA Confidential (which was awesome!) 3) Gladiator (which was a masterpiece) beerchug 4) A Beautiful Mind (which was a BS but very well told story) Beyond him? Hmmmmm .......... thats tough! Well Guy Pearce (the other dude from LA Confidential has not been in a film with a JW score. Val Kilmer also I think has not been in a film score by Williams. Who else? Sandra Bullock I also believe has not been in one. Neither has Helen Hunt or Kevin Spacey (thought of em together because they were both in that awful "Pay it Forward" deal). I am sure there are more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 O'Toole was also in Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Damn, I'm here looking on imdb, but still can't find a single significant name! He even scored for Reagan! (in the killers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I got a few more .......1) Arnold Shwartzen ......dur whatever I suck at German (OK Austrian) names.2) Sly Stallone!

Guest Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Funny: I should've said "whoever said Williams hasn't scored an Arnold movie", but my subconscious forced me to classify movies by composer and not by actor, as most people do. Nobody ever says "Have you seen the latest John Williams movie?". Except maybe at this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a proper curse place on him.Hey I will third that, my sentiments exactly.Joe, not known as a fan of Crowe, Gladiator, or a big Matrix fan, I do think Crowe is very talented as a actor, but he loses his appeal due to his affair with Meg Ryan, and his better than everyone else attitude. He is a great actor but he is no Tom Hanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see of this film the more I am convinced that the Academy got best actor 1986 all wrong. Sorry Paul Newman, you won a makeup award, for surviving as long as you have.Sorry Bob Hoskins, William Hurt, Dexter Gordon, and James Woods, none of you gave the performance that Matthew did as Ferris. Not one of the films of the 5 nominee's for best actors has stood the test of time these last 16 years. Ferris Bueller, your my hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know which movie I'm thinking of?Claes - Arnie appears briefly as a heavy (what else?) in Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973), scored by John Williams. Blink and you miss him.WLW - Jane Fonda is in "Stanley & Iris" while Glenn Close appears as a bearded pirate (honest!) in "Hook". I'm not joking.And Morn, how could you forget Peter Ustinov's turn as King Fawz in John Goldfarb Please Come Home? And it's your favourite score too! Any takers for Robert Redford?Damien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe Alan Ruck deserved a supporting actor nomination more tham Matthe deserved a leading actor nod. He stole every single scene. He was simply the best part of the film (well, maybe just a little better than Edie McClurg). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
