It comes from CMIYC, track2.

Best Score, 2002 - Minority Report. There's a lot to like about COS but its the worst score for me because of the whole adaptation aspect and reuse of a lot of material from the first HP.

Best Cue - Love Pledge and the Arena, has the best version of the love theme and an enjoyable and intereting action cue

Best Action Cue - Dueling the basilik (I think that's what its called)

Best Main Theme - Chamber of Secrets, perhaps, although its barely used in the film which makes it seem like not much of a main theme. Anyway, a great concert cue.

Best Album Release - Minority Report, I listen to this a lot and the entire score is pretty well represented.

Best Re-release - Home Alone 2

Well, here are my thoughts!

Best Score of 2002: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (though I really like Catch Me If You Can)

Nomines: Star Wars: Attack of The Clones, Minority Report, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, Catch Me If You Can

Best Cue of 2002: The 'Float'

Nomines: Confrontation with Count Dooku and Finale, Pre-Crime to the Rescue, The Dueling Club, The 'Float'

Best Action Cue of 2002: The Flying Car (though I think Zam the Assassin and the Chase Through Coruscant is really neat and shows a different side of JW with the percussion and electric guitar stuff)

Nomines: Zam the Assassin and the Chase Through Coruscant, Everybody Runs, The Flying Car, Dueling the Basilisk

Best Theme of 2002: Love Theme from Attack of the Clones (though I love all the others!)

Nomines: Love Theme from Attack of the Clones, Fawkes the Phoenix, The Chamber of Secrets, Catch Me If You Can

Best Album Release of 2002: I honestly can't decide between CoS and CMIYC!... I suppose if I had to pick one, though, I'd pick Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Nomines: Star Wars: Attack of The Clones, Minority Report, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, Catch Me If You Can

Best Re-Release of 2002: I have no idea. Like Justin, I don't have either, so I can't say.

We aren't talking about the scores. We are talking about the release. :music:

Yeah. The 2002 E.T. adds almost nothing, except for the performance of the End credits.

And the opening titles, and the film version of "Searching for ET" and some other things that I can't recall right now.

I did it too... I pick as my sole "Best" cue: Return to Tatooine. Though I'm probably the only one who voted for it.

I love cues that score dialogue and Williams did an outstanding job of "scoring" Shmi's disappearance as told by Cliegg Lars. And it culminates in a reprise (or would it be a pre-prise?) of the Force Theme from "Binary Sunset".

Joe your insightful words of wisdom have truly changed us all. Anything else you would like to share with us? Perhaps the fact that you feel the need to insult and disgust everyone instead of stating your opinion in a mature and calm manner. Because for some reason, search me why, using the phrase "wipe my ass" in an argument usual doesn't make people listen or even consider your statment to be valid. ;)

It's perfectly valid. I wouldn't wipe Joe's ass at all, even with the AOTC score. ROTFLMAO

by the way Justin, I have a "mature, calm and meaningful question for you that might be considered valid.

why do you have a best Album of 2002? what is the reason for such a selection, whats the difference between it and best score?

Just wondering.

Best Album is best release. Like did they include all the best music from the film, did they screw up the release by including bonus tracks which you could never find because they got the stores mixed up. That kind of thing. ;)

Justin -Who originally included Best Un-Released cue but couldn't think of any outside of AOTC.

Ross, for whom 2002 is a black JW year.

Yeah, 4 new scores. 3 re-releases (2 of which were really good). 3 albums of Williams concert works as well. Sure sounds like a "black year" to me.

Just how would you define 2003 then?

I said "for whom", that means it was "personally a black JW year". What with 28 original cd's down Italian waters and all.

The releases were all great, with the exception of Minority Report. I have yet to experience The Fury, but I have no reason to trash it. 2002 was a great year in general for John Williams. Not for me.

2003 was a good year... for forgotten Williams scores in our collections.

It is a great score, and very listenable. It just takes a dozen of times listening to it and watching the movie for the music to connect.

Morlock is correct. Minority Report is a very entertaining score. Even more so in the context of the film.
