SPACE CAMP MONSIGNOR Check places like YouTube for sampling, and make your own decisions. Good luck! Oh, I'm definitely going to check the recommendations on YouTube. I've been thinking of Space Camp lately. I remember enjoying the score when I saw the movie as a kid, but it's been about twenty years. Here we go, YouTube! Thanks again, everyone!    Posted:   Jan 30, 2017 - 1:30 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Okey, since you got something out of this, I can just list my favourite Williams scores -- noting which you already have, and so including five 'new' ones. 1. JURASSIC PARK -- you have this 2. RETURN OF THE JEDI 3. JANE EYRE -- you have this 4. HOOK -- you have this 5. A.I. -- you have this 6. ANGELA'S ASHES 7. E.T. - you have this 8. SCHINDLER'S LIST 9. FAR & AWAY 10. The INDIANA JONESes (esp. 3) -- you already have this 11. NOT WITH MY WIFE YOU DON'T Or...if you're willing to try something wildly experimental: IMAGES. This list is just right now; it will change tomorrow.    Posted:   Jan 30, 2017 - 1:14 PM     By:   Coco314   (Member) Considering what you like: You can't go wrong with (the first) HARRY POTTER Considering your favorite tracks, you should like ANGELA'S ASHES FAR AND AWAY, it has a little bit of everything. SCHINDLER'S LIST is a masterpiece, but you should see the movie first. Then there's tons of stuff to discover (lucky you). If you like the 80s sound, THE FURY, JAWS or 1941. For the most recent stuff, THE TERMINAL and TINTIN are a lot of fun.    Posted:   Jan 30, 2017 - 1:18 PM     By:   dbrooks   (Member) I know this does not help but I only have the obvious John Williams in my collection. Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T., etc. The more I thought about it John Williams is one that I never seem to expand my horizon with. Which brings another topic, did Star Wars type-cast John Williams?    Posted:   Jan 30, 2017 - 1:49 PM     By:   Thgil   (Member) Okey, since you got something out of this, I can just list my favourite Williams scores -- noting which you already have, and so including five 'new' ones. 1.

This list is just right now; it will change tomorrow. I've already got Images and Return of the Jedi (and the six others Williams wrote), but you're right; they're very enjoyable. I know how you feel about preferences changing. My top five would certainly include Black Sunday if I were to write them today. It's the epitome of a great score. SCHINDLER'S LIST is a masterpiece, but you should see the movie first. Strangely enough, most of my sixth grade class watched Schindler's List. Our parents had to sign permission slips, but it happened. It was a very surreal experience. I'll have to watch it again, since I'm positive that 12 year-old me didn't appreciate the film as I would now.    Posted:   Jan 30, 2017 - 2:25 PM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) I'll just "ditto" recommendations for The Accidental Tourist Monsignor The Towering Inferno    Posted:   Jan 30, 2017 - 2:34 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) I've already got Images and Return of the Jedi (and the six others Williams wrote), Ah, so you have. Missed that. Well, let me replace the two open spots with THE EIGER SANCTION and EMPIRE OF THE SUN, then. Really, it's VERY hard to go wrong with Williams, whatever decade you explore (even the rather dreary 2010s has at least ONE great score, i.e. WAR HORSE). It is, in fact, easier to list the scores that are NOT "all that".    Posted:   Jul 19, 2019 - 4:14 PM     By:   Thgil   (Member) How quickly things change. Updated: A.I. (2001 and LLL albums) The Accidental Tourist Black Sunday Close Encounters (Original, 1998, and LLL) Dracula (Varese) E. T.

I listen to it often.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2019 - 4:27 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) WOTW MINORITY REPORT JFK Nixon War Hirse    Posted:   Jul 19, 2019 - 5:23 PM     By:   ZardozSpeaks   (Member) Here's a number of my Williams faves (all pre-Spielberg): 1)"The Crash" pilot from LAND OF THE GIANTS 2)The Ghostbreaker 3)The Poseidon Adventure 4)"The Bronze Locust" from The Eleventh Hour on disc 1 of FSM's TV OMNIBUS 5)Michael Small's The Postman Always Rings Twice, which sounds to me like a John Williams score that Williams never wrote.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2019 - 11:19 PM     By:   barryfan   (Member) WOTW MINORITY REPORT JFK Nixon War Hirse What is a "hirse"? lol    Posted:   Jul 20, 2019 - 10:10 AM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) WOTW MINORITY REPORT JFK Nixon War Hirse What is a "hirse"? lol It carries dead people to the.cemetary. Or, it's a gender neutral word for " his and hers".     General Discussion: Recommend your Top 5 Williams scores I don't have    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
