Can anyone argue what a fucking legend this man is?
Arguably the greatest composer to ever grace the silver screen, some of his fucking masterpieces:
Star Wars Main Theme

The Imperial March
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8
Duel of the Fates
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5ZY8Fz9GGU
Jedi Temple March
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFOo86PDDuE
Anakin vs Obi-Wan Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1k5zo0w6N8
Non Star Wars ones:
Jurassic Park (Main Theme):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8zlUUrFK-M
Jaws Theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV8i-pSVMaQ
They're all the great ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Any more?
John Williams appreciation thread.
You are missing the Schindler's List theme, which is arguably my favorite by him.
He's literally the modern Beethoven
but he just steals from classical music
>>63680399
The reworked Cloud City music in the second trailer is the best thing associated with new Star Wars so far.
Schindler's List (inb4 /pol/)
Saving Private Ryan
Indiana Jones
Harry Potter
>>63680399
Jurassic Park is my favorite. It is perfect in every aspect.
>>63680399
Clint Mansell is better but he just does...less?

Who is the third pillar of pleb taste?
Tbh KOTOR soundtrack was better
Tbh KOTOR had the GOAT star wars soundtrack

>>63680399
Didn't he do E.T.?
>>63680594
Gershwin tbqh
Lacks Hook soundtrack, which is, despite what we can think about the movie itself, one of the best work from Williams, if not the best.
John "The man" Williams
>>63680770
The movie is great, only Spielberg hates it.
>>63680594
Howard Shore

>>63680460
like all other music?
>>63680399
Duel of Fates was the only good thing he did in the Prequel Trilogy.
>>63680594
Tchaikovsky or Glass
>>63680399
Why did you post all of his worst music?
>>63681371
You crazy knobhouse
>>63680399
Is he a hack like Hans Zimmer who have an entire team beginh him ? The best Hans Zimmer's tracks are often not wrote by him.
>>63680553
>Clint Mansell is better
No
>>63681444
Like what? Inception, Interstellar, Gladiator for example have some absolutely fantastic pieces?
>>63680649
/v/eddit has arrived
>>63680594
Danny Elfman
>>63680399
tfw your willing to sit through a very expensive 120 minute toy commercial to hear the latest williams score
pic not related, i have no positive reaction images
>>63681474
Yes.
>>63680594
Marty O'Donnel
>>63681690
Why not just wait until the score is released?
>>63681499

>>63681755
i think context is important
Star Wars theme and Superman theme sound too much alike IMO.
But yeah, he's GOAT, he did Harry Potter.
>>63681371
ill find you and ill skin you alive.
>>63680399
How can you post a list like that and skip Indiana Jones? Goddamnit.

>>63680460
This
>>63681771
and?
>>63680399
His score is the reason Star Wars didn't end up on a late night cable station after two weeks. The LSO validated the whole project. Once they hit that big first note, the audience had their hair blown back.
Star Wars with a Mini Moog sci-fi soundtrackk like everything else around that time would be a footnote in film history. Like Logan's Run.

This.
>>63680594
Horner until he died.
>>63680594
Tangerine Dream
>>63681474
He doesn't have the resume Williams has buthis work is superior.
