Best John Williams Movie Score

Poll question: Best John Williams Movie Score

I wanted to include some of his TV work in this poll (e.g., Lost in Space), but I decided to just restrict it to movies. It's not like he hasn't done more than a few films.

It was kind of hard to pick the best of the best, but here are my choices. What do you think?

3. I have the 'Raiders' theme as my ringtone!!

John Williams is great.

But Danny Elfman is the best.

4. Imperial March!!!

By far!

[ET Awful]

5. Williams' score with Itzhak Perlman on violin for Schindler's List

is by far one of the best pieces of music ever written for a film.

6. Of the ones I got

Schindler's List, it is almost like that violiin in the opening scene is crying out for justice of the 6 million plus Jews and others that were murdered by the Nazis. I like Saving Private Ryan too but Schindler's List tops it for me.

[Arkham House]

7. Nobody's ever heard of it--

--But he did a lovely score for *Jane Eyre* in 1971, with Geroge C Scott and Sisannah York...and I have to admit, that's still my favorite, after all these years...

8. Harry Potter.

HE did a superb job.

11. I have to go with the first love.

A New Hope. Sitting in that dark theater at 5 years old, seeing the yellow letters and hearing those two high C's, then the scrolling text just blew me away. I have loved his music ever since. Some lesser known ones by him have been Empire of the Sun and Witches of Eastwick. Schindler's List was wonderful.

But, I must go with where it all began, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. And, when we had a Dem President.

12. gotta go with A New Hope

because every composition in the soundtrack is very rememberable and can be spotted instantly after a few bars. The Medal Ceremony is one of my all time favorites. If I were to ever get married it would be to that.

13. ET

With Jane Eyre a close second.

14. I hate John Williams normally but he did a great job on 'My Geisha'.

Completely devoid of his usual bombast. Pleasantly surprised.

15. Star Wars

Such a classic, I love Leia's theme and Luke's theme...daddada da dadadada da, da da dada dadadada
