Try watching and listening again..Just because its not Bombastic like his other scores doesnt mean its not good.

Nobody mentioned the Jurassic Park and Hook main themes. Those are pretty dang good too.

Totally forgot about Jurassic, but one of my faves.

I didn't saw Jaws score was bad, I just said it didn't do much for me. Along with the movie.

Really? wow.....its still one of my fave Spielberg flicks. Sure its dated, but it still holds up very well.

The Schnieder/Dreyfuss/Shaw trio was pure magic. You really dont see that kind of acting chemistry too much in mainstream movies anymore.

No two notes are more identifiable with terror the world over than those composed by John Williams for Jaws.

That fact alone makes it one of the best movie scores of all time, regardless of the complexity of the musical composition.

Yeah, but that's like 30 seconds of the theme. The rest of it was just lame.

And, did you know, that Speilberg scoffed at the original Williams' score for Jaws. He laughed at it.

I should probably watch it again, truth be told.

Yeah, in the beginning. He didn't get it.

But he later did.

And you can't argue with the fact that everyone the world over associates that theme with terror. It's one of the Top 5 most identifiable themes in movie history.

I always thought Williams just redid it and came up with what it is now.

Call of the Crystal Skull

Also, Irina's theme is pretty good. I thought Williams did a great job of mixing in the sax on this one. Very fresh.

And this is a great one from the new movie, too. It's a reprisal of his nazi theme.

I didn't think it was Williams at his best, but that's me. And I didn't hear the Sax. I heard the trumpet, but no sax. Can you give a time marker?

Basil Poledouris' score from Conan the Barbarian blows away anything Williams ever did.

I wouldn't say that, and I actually like Poledouris' work (I have his extended soundtrack from Starship Troopers).
