| 3. I saw John Willlams at Boston Pops w/Josh Groban |
|
Williams did a medley of all his movie music and I was in heaven. Each piece had a special memory it evoked.

| 5. I had to vote Schindler's List for one reason only . . . |
|
and it really isn't because of Williams, it's because of Itzhak Perlman's violin work.

| 9. Although Perlman's performance was outstanding |
|
it "really isn't because of" that beautiful theme he was playing?!

| 11. The theme was no doubt beautiful, but very few could have |
|

rendered it with the emotion that Perlman brought to the piece.
I will say this . . . Schindler's List is the ONLY time I've ever purchased a CD of the score from a movie :)

| 6. "The Empire Strikes Back" |
|
I voted for Star Wars, but I wanted to qualify my vote for that movie specifically. I think that one really stands out. Yoda's theme, the Imperial March, and the Love Theme. Awesome.

| 10. Other: 'The Rievers". A Steve McQueen film from 1969. |
|
Based on William Faulkner's last novel. The score is wonderful; simply sublime. You've got to listen to it.
