The Jaws theme was ripped from the Doomsday Machine theme which was ripped off of some other theme I can't remember. Was it Creature from the Black Lagoon?

Creature from the Black Lagoon?
Dvorak Symphony 9 4th Movement. Anyone I've played it for (and it's a favorite so I have a lot) thinks it IS Jaws. Williams also used most of the third movement to underscore Yoda v. Palpatine in RotS. And the Rebel theme is from the third movement of Mahler's 9th Symphony. More ambiguously the theme to Schindler's List sounds like a motif from the first (and I think second?) movements of Mahler's 8th.
Point is Williams is no more or less exempt from this kind of examination than anyone else.
For whatever reason, I just stumbled onto the similarities between Tyler's 300 and Goldenthal's Titus (I'm a couple months late, I apologize :-P) and they are pretty shameless.
With that said, after months without repercussions (and if I were Goldenthal, I would have gone to court)
