Me aswell, Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones & Close Encounters of the Third Kind, were my starting points in my youth with Williams Music between 1977 & 1984…my god, those 4 films alone are enough to cement any conductor’s name into Hollywood forever
Just saw the documentary and it is amazing the variety, breadth and depth of John Williams's work and the joy that he brings to it. Interesting to learn how he developed his craft and way of working. It is moving and very well done. Stephen Spielberg said it so well at the AFI Tribute honoring his friend and longtime collaborator: "Without John Williams, bikes don't fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe."
Iam such a huge JW fan. I own more soundtracks by him than any other music. He is absolutely incredible and I am so grateful that they have made this documentary. I really wish it had wider theatrical release.
I love film and television music. Ever since the days of early tv (Checkmate, Suspense Theater, every damn Irwin Allen series) I have been immersed in John William's stylings. I first saw "Star Wars" when it opened at Grauman's Chinese Theater and swore I heard a "Lost in Space" like cue during the Mos Eisley escape. He is his own arranger, started in Jazz and mastered so many styles. His Olympic theme is a work of genius. I better stop now, or I'll really get carried away.
My late father (French Horn Musician) adored all of John’s soundtracks, especially CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THRID KIND, he played it all the time in its entirety & would explain to the family how important the Horn Instruments & timing of them are to the film….my personal favorite is Jurassic Park (the first one),…the melodic hooks just give me goosebumps & during the quiet parts of the songs brings tears to my eyes immediately…. Superman x2 LP Version is very powerful & important cinematic soundtrack for me, one of my first Williams albums I bought when I was 15 & Indiana Jones (The Temple Of Doom) is magical for me when I bought it, Orchestra Vs. Tribal Drums & India Chants at its finest, I never heard anything like it before, it’s the most played Indiana soundtrack for me, but ofcourse all 3 of the first movies high on my list & ofcourse STAR WARS changed the soundtrack music game for Hollywood….. Ok I’m rambling, but I will be watching this Documentary bigtime,….great interview, appreciate it….May The Force Be With You John, ALWAYS👽👍🏾🎬
Does anyone else still pull up the old Lost In Space tv show music by Johnny Williams? I think he may have composed two different iconic versions for different seasons.
Ron Howard was in an episode of Land of the Giants in their first season. John Williams wrote the theme music... He also composed the score to Ron Howard's Far and Away...
I had the privilege of hearing Duel of The Fates LIVE with symphony orchestra and choir in during a Star Wars concert in 2005. Absolutely electrifying. And clearly they knew this because THEY GAVE AN ENCORE!!!
Whoa, Paper Chase & Far & Away, thanks guys I never heard of these movies & so had know idea Williams was at the helm for the music….appreciate the info….Empire Of The Sun is a monster of an album of his aswell
Also the score he did for Born if the Fourth of July was very moving and was a big part of the emotional impact of that movie and it’s tragic story. JW also wrote the PBS Great Performances theme, NBC Today Show, NBC Nightly News themes
These directors could’ve worked on a Superman IV or Superman V Sequel Will Reeve if your Dad’s movie Canon never purchased Superman IV or Superman V Industrial Light & Magic should’ve bought Superman from The Father Son Team who did Superman that your father portrayed so well I think Spielberg would’ve done Superman IV in possibly 1985 Christopher Reeve could’ve been Ben Richards in The Running Man in 1987 then play Superman in 1990 in Superman V and Superman & Supergirl would be in Superman IV & Superman V but when does the Christopher Reeve Documentary come to Max?
Hey B@tch!!! Heather died of natural causes in 1988, after starring in Poltergeist 3 (1988), which Steven neither directed nor produced. The only Steven-produced film of the Poltergeist trilogy was the original first film, released in 1982. The sequels were not made by him. If you're going to make up sh@t, at least try to make it somehow plausible. Now F@ck off....

John Williams' music is such a blessing; what an amazing composer!
So cool that Will Reeve is one of the hosts and a major John Williams theme is associated with his dad.
You see so much of his dad in him.
John's instincts are phenomenal. He knows EXACTLY what each film needs second by second.
John Williams provided the soundtrack to my childhood.
Me aswell, Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones & Close Encounters of the Third Kind, were my starting points in my youth with Williams Music between 1977 & 1984…my god, those 4 films alone are enough to cement any conductor’s name into Hollywood forever
The music this guy made is sublime.
The Desert Chase sequence in Raiders is so good it's nearly surreal. John Williams wrote the music of my youth and early adulthood.

it's the soundtrack of my life, we will all cherish his music
The Superman theme will always be my favorite John Williams score🥰🥰
It’s BETTER than Star Wars! The Superman score is magnificent!!
@@user-ve5ln5le9y I agree, Superman is staggering music making….ihave the 2x LP Gatefold Vinly version for decades & I treasure it
My favorite is one nobody ever mentions: his beautiful score from the 1995 remake of Sabrina. Elegant. ❤
He's done so much great work. Some of his best scores, to me, are ones off the radar. Hook may not be that great of a movie, but the music is sublime.
Your so right, EMPIRE OF THE SUN, is one of my favorite soundtracks of his….its just breathtaking & emotional beyond scope
Yes and Born on The Fourth of July too
@@user-ve5ln5le9y I had know idea he did the soundtrack for that movie😲…..thank you, will listen to it this weekend
However long the running time for this documentary is, it won't be long enough.
Iam such a huge JW fan. I own more soundtracks by him than any other music. He is absolutely incredible and I am so grateful that they have made this documentary. I really wish it had wider theatrical release.

My top 5:
1. John Williams
2. Bernard Herrmann
3. James Horner
4. John Barry
5. Jerry Goldsmith
Hans Zimmer!!!
@@user-ve5ln5le9y Hans soundtrack for Dune 2 is amazing & Blade Runner 2049 is my 2nd fav from him currently

Oh boy the Olympic Fanfare!
1984 - LA, Olympic Fanfare and Theme
1988 - Seoul, Olympic Spirit
1996 - Atlanta, Summon the Heroes
2002 - Salt Lake City, Call of the Champions

Early film scores for director Mark Rydell - The Reivers (1969) and The Cowboys (1972)
Great movies with music in a nostalgic Americana style.
Does anyone else still pull up the old Lost In Space tv show music by Johnny Williams? I think he may have composed two different iconic versions for different seasons.
I hope they include on John Williams first movie: Daddio. 🙂 "Some guys had brothers. I had Sonny"
It’s so funny that Ron Howard still sounds so much like Richie Cunningham at 72 years old. Can’t wait to watch this documentary.
Ron Howard was in an episode of Land of the Giants in their first season. John Williams wrote the theme music...
He also composed the score to Ron Howard's Far and Away...
My current John Williams' scores are from The Accidental Tourist and The Witches of Eastwick. They sure make you want to visit New England.
In years to come he will be regarded as the Mozart of our time.
I had the privilege of hearing Duel of The Fates LIVE with symphony orchestra and choir in during a Star Wars concert in 2005. Absolutely electrifying. And clearly they knew this because THEY GAVE AN ENCORE!!!
Like most people, my favorite John Williams score is PAPER CHASE.
Good pick! Love that one! Also his score for Far and Away is great.
Whoa, Paper Chase & Far & Away, thanks guys I never heard of these movies & so had know idea Williams was at the helm for the music….appreciate the info….Empire Of The Sun is a monster of an album of his aswell
John Williams is our generation Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Brahms, Tchalkovsky, Wagner & Handel.
Before Jaws he also did Irwin Allen’s disaster dramas The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. I hope this is mentioned in the doc
Also the score he did for Born if the Fourth of July was very moving and was a big part of the emotional impact of that movie and it’s tragic story. JW also wrote the PBS Great Performances theme, NBC Today Show, NBC Nightly News themes
Honestly its kinda hard to pick what is the best score by John Williams.
How many film composers can you think off when the score is just as famous as the film
Ennio Morricone, his soundtrack for the good, the bad and the ugly is actually more famous than the film.
These directors could’ve worked on a Superman IV or Superman V Sequel Will Reeve if your Dad’s movie Canon never purchased Superman IV or Superman V Industrial Light & Magic should’ve bought Superman from The Father Son Team who did Superman that your father portrayed so well I think Spielberg would’ve done Superman IV in possibly 1985 Christopher Reeve could’ve been Ben Richards in The Running Man in 1987 then play Superman in 1990 in Superman V and Superman & Supergirl would be in Superman IV & Superman V but when does the Christopher Reeve Documentary come to Max?
Ask that peta file Spielberg what happened to Heather O'rourke... RIP Kappy
Get well soon.
