[QUOTE="monsmord, post: 9411567, member: 6876475"] I was serious - there are many more terrific scores than those listed in the poll. And you're right, there are movies/shows that are otherwise pretty silly, mundane, or otherwise forgettable that benefit from his excellent soundtracks - like [I]The Eiger Sanction[/I], [I]Valley of the Dolls[/I], [I]The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing[/I], [I]Fitzwilly[/I]... (The "love theme" from [I]Fitzwilly[/I], "Make Me Rainbows", can get stuck in my head for days.) John Williams is why I majored in Music Composition, intending to write for film. While some of his work is more interesting than others (IMO, [I]Harry Potter[/I], [I]A.I.[/I], and [I]Hook[/I], for example, are technically excellent - meaning they accomplish the primary goal of supporting the films - but rather middle of the road as far as "singability", and not ones I go to for the sheer joy of listening), there's not a bad score among 'em. And yeah, the TV work is excellent! (And both [I]Lost in Space[/I] themes rule!) [/QUOTE]
