I've been a fan of Williams's music for a long time. I think he's so many great scores, often outshining the films themselves IMHO.
Some of my favorites include (in no particular order):
- A.I. ("Stored Memories and Monica's Theme" is one of my all-time favorite film music pieces - ironic then, that it's from the part of the movie I wish they'd cut
).
- The Eiger Sanction (love the 70's Jazz style).
- Earthquake (kind of cheesy but I really enjoy the 70's style).
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind (IMHO a masterpiece and one of his very best - not easy to listen to at times but well worth it).
- Jaws (simply but effective, counting both scores here).
- Indiana Jones (I think all the soundtracks features some great music so consider them all included here).
- Star Wars (again, including all the soundtracks, really, though I do think that the first two, episodes IV and V, are probably the strongest).
- Presumed Innocent (always just liked the feel to this one).
- JFK (very different from many of his scores but very effective indeed, I think).
- Jurassic Park (both scores - 1 was one of the first if not THE first Williams soundtracks I got, 2, I think is a pretty amazing percussion-based soundtrack, totally breathless).
- Schindler's List (great soundtrack but hard to listen to due to the serious subject matter).
- The Reivers (very lively, very vibrant score).
- Amistad (quite a powerful score with some unusual instrumentation and use of songs for Williams).
- Rosewood (probably even more unusual for Williams than Amistad, very powerful IMHO).
- Minority Report (took some time for me getting used to - not as focused on memorable themes such as Star Wars - but definitely a very interesting score, I think).
- War of the Worlds (reminded me of Close Encounters in some parts, very interesting IMHO).
