Have always liked, maybe even loved, the John Williams soundtrack, and often used the vocal cues in compilations I made of arias and choruses. Included cues in several of my iPod playlists. And will order the expanded soundtrack on the 24th.

“'It is, in a strong if minority opinion (mine included), Spielberg’s greatest film,' Ms. Haskell writes in the book."
from today's (print) NY Times--
SPIELBERG BY HASKELL at the Metrograph (Jan. 14-18). To complement the publication of “Steven Spielberg: A Life in Films,” a study of Mr. Spielberg’s movies by the critic Molly Haskell, the Metrograph is showing five of that director’s features. On Jan. 14, Ms. Haskell will introduce “Empire of the Sun” (1987), adapted from J. G. Ballard’s semi-autobiographical novel and starring a young Christian Bale as a British boy separated from his parents during the Japanese invasion of Shanghai in 1941. A project Mr. Spielberg took up from David Lean, the movie is one of the director’s most strikingly realized historical re-creations — a feat of production design and cinematography. “It is, in a strong if minority opinion (mine included), Spielberg’s greatest film,” Ms. Haskell writes in the book. The screening, at 2:30 p.m., will be followed by a book signing. “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence” (Jan. 15 and 18), “Minority Report” (Jan. 16) and “Catch Me If You Can” (Jan. 17) will follow in the series.
