I'm listening this morning to the Home Alone Soundtrack and hearing hints of Harry Potter and Hook and Jurrassic Park. This guy has by far the most impressive resume of soundtracks in the business. What are some of your favorites?
Bruce Almighty

That's a really tough question.

I'd have to go with Star Wars as 1A, and almost everything else as 1B.

Wow.

Star Wars, Jaws and Close Encounters would be so easy. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Jurassic Park. Wow.

I'm going to throw in a vote for 1941. Not only is the score so great, but I am unashamed in my love for that movie.

The Star Wars soundtracks reign supreme for me above everything, but I think my favorite non-SW Williams piece is A Window to the Past from Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban. if you've seen the movie, it plays when Lupin and Harry are on a bridge and Lupin is telling Harry about his parents, very beautiful scene and gorgeous music.

It really sums up for me what being Harry might be like - talented, famous, popular beyond belief, but the bittersweetness of envying almost every person alive because they have a mom and a dad.

Take a listen.

Jurassic Park Harry Potter, and Raiders are probably my favorites.

Hedwig's Theme is simply amazing and just completely encapsulates the story.

Love this rendition as well

Not a soundtrack, but one of my favorites is the Olympic Fanfare:



Love the part at 1:05

The NBC "Mission Theme" is damn good as well:



And the Meet the Press theme is his:



Also like this one:



And this:

The entire Star Wars saga comes first. After that, tough call.

Probably Raiders and The Last Crusade.

Then 1941

Then Jurassic Park

Then Jaws

Then Superman

Then Home Alone

Then Empire of the Sun

Jurrasic Park.

He has a ton of other stuff that I really like but JP takes the top spot for me

Every score JW has written is wonderful. My vote for his best is The Empire Strikes Back.
