^hard to argue with that... I'd throw in Star Wars and E.T. as well. His 1975 to 1982 period is tough to surpass, even for Williams himself, not that the last 40 years since was anything to sneeze at, mind you.
shareSuperman, Star Wars....are both amazing.
But 'Jaws' (regardless of whether you like it, or not) owns *ALL* soundtracks
1. Hook
2. Earthquake
3. The Eiger Sanction
4. Heartbeeps
5. How to Steal a Million
JFK never gets mentioned. It's both good and obviously underrated.
shareThe court scene where Costner presented his multiple shooter theory is one of the most effective scenes I've seen and that's thanks primarily to mr Williams' score (the sound mixing of that scene is also breathtaking).
shareThe score to JFK is brilliant. The conspirators theme really elevates the film, and it would not be the same without that piece of music.
