    This is such a fun way to pay tribute to a man who is responsible for the sound of so many iconic films. So many of us have heard John Williams music before we even knew his name.

    I was born in 1964. The impact of movies like Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones and Superman!! There are no words! I can be ANYWHERE and hear the music and the feeling of nostalgia is overwhelming. I’m not into composers and scores but now I truly have an immense respect for John Williams. Thank you for this wonderful video!!

    I loved today’s video. I feel like John Williams has written the soundtrack of my life. From Superman to Star Wars, E.T. to Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park to Harry Potter, all these films and more have shaped my love of movies. John Williams is a national treasure and we are so lucky to have had him making such iconic music for so long.

    As a French Horn player, John Williams is my all-time favorite composer ever! The French Horn parts in his songs are just so poignant and powerful! He captures so many emotions in his themes and I just gush every time

    All of my favorite movies were composed by John Williams. Jurassic Park, Home Alone, all of the Indiana Jones, all of the Harry Potter movies, etc. This is an amazing video idea! Thank you! 💛🎶

    • @biancazeiler
      @biancazeiler 5 днів тому +1

      Yes!! Home Alone!! Every song in there is perfect for the scene. “Somewhere in my memory” is tear inducing every time.

    @sonnyeclipse19 11 днів тому +3

    As a music fan and band nerd, thank you!! John Williams has always been a hero, not only because he's amazing.. but because I'm a horn player, and the man has written so many epic horn parts.
    I just recently reclaimed part of who I used to be (after years of making my stressful job my only priority) by joining a concert band and getting the horn back out. After kicking off a little rust I jumped back in and haven't looked back.. it's been one of the best things I've ever done. Because making and listening to music has healing powers, and shoos away some of the stress.
    So thank you again for shining some light on one of the greatest composers of all time.. it's like a hug for the band kids 😊

    The best. As a gen x band teacher, John Williams' music was quite literally tue soundtrack to much of my life. Thise are the movies we watched and that is the music we loved to play, and that inspired us to continue playing.
    Im also proud of you two for recognizing his genius and speaking intelligently about his music and career.
    Music is life.

  • @WalterRiggs
    @WalterRiggs 11 днів тому +3

    Definitely a GOAT episode. Maestro Williams’ music is known by more people than any other musician ever. His contributions to art are second to none.
    Also: Superman chefs kiss. Nothing better to ride a motorcycle to.

    This is one of the best Mammoth Club videos. This past summer, we couldn't help notice that all the best rides at Disney, Universal and Legoland have a Chris Pratt pre-show. I think a Chris Pratt video would be top notch. And if Andy Dwyer got some love during it too, we wouldn't be mad.

    While I love me my STAR WARS, the SINGLE BEST John Williams score is E.T. The fact that Spielberg edited the end of the film around the score is testament to its EPIC status. It deserves an 11!!!!!!!

  • @stormtrooper26
    @stormtrooper26 11 днів тому

    Thank you for this video. I think this is my favorite video you have ever done. I’m 44 years old and John Williams has always been apart of my life. I often say he wrote the soundtrack to my childhood. Throne Room from A New Hope, Raider’s March from Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Superman main theme are my absolute favorites. I listen to at least something of his almost on a daily basis still.
    He is an absolute treasure and I am so happy he became a Disney Legend. Once again, thanks for making this video and I hope it inspires even more people to listen to his music that might not.

    What a fabulous idea for a challenge, thank you so much for highlighting the excellent Disney+ documentary and for taking us with you on this tribute. I'm a classic movie buff so discovering that JW was part of one of my absolute favourite films (Billy Wilder's 1960 movie The Apartment) was jaw dropping. Personally, my own subjective IP biases place The Raiders March as my fave film score of-all-time. It thrills the blood and makes me grin like an eejit! I understand what Alan meant by the slower movements, but that's Marion's theme and I love me some Marion Ravenwood. There's also a wee key change just towards the end, when the score starts to build up again and it kills me. Love your choices and score scores too, like you say - there are no wrong answers!

    Thank you for doing this, and I will be watching the documentary on Disney+.

And my band teacher also had us learn the Star Wars theme, and Indiana jones theme too! Also when Alan was telling Molly about all of the Star Wars lore is me and my wife when I try to tell her about my books 😂

    I absolutely love John Williams' music. Thank you for this video. My favorite bit of his music is from "Star Wars Return of the Jedi" towards the end when Darth Vadar is taunting Luke during the fight on the death star. When Vadar learns of Leia and mentions turning her to the dark side, and Luke explodes from under the stairs and attacks Vadar; that music right there is one of my favorite pieces.
