Of all the movies presented, here are my top 3 that I can quickly recall how stirring the music was... which helped make the movies much more impactful and memorable.  I don't clearly recall the soundtracks to many of them lol.  Smiley

Star Wars
Close Encounters
Jaws


Well this was a really difficult choice as they all are so different and I feel bad about excluding Indiana Jones.  Undecided

Agreed, though I could easily switch out IJ for either ET or HP.

From this list it is easy:
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
Jurasic Park

But, none of these are in my top three.  Those would be:
Empire of the Sun
Schindlers List
Superman

Hi All,

I think this is allowed:

1= Star Wars
1= Indiana Jones
3= E.T.

I couldn't decide between SW and IJ so I chose both as equal first. One thing I do notice about John Williams' music is that he has certain thematic hooks and phrasing in his melodies and harmonies. For example compare the music from the desert scenes (The Jawa's theme and the Indiana Jones Tanis dig music) and he uses woodwind and quirky bouncing rhythms and  sweeping cinematic hooks like those heard in Lawrence of Arabia.
Another great example of William's music is Amistad where you can also hear these influences.

Very true. I'm not sure if I've heard Empire of the Sun or not, but I imagine I have. Schindler's List is one of my favorite scores from any movie too.
