You know you are strong in the Force if you lose an Academy Award nomination to yourself.
-
No one can defeat John Williams except John Williams
-
“Without John Williams, bikes don’t really 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.“ -Steven Spielberg
-
Hands down the best Hollywood composer to ever live. About 60 years of dominance for this man
-
When a man can lose a nomination to himself, on another nomination, then you know he's a damn legend.
-
At first I was like: "How is Harry Potter only number 8!?!?!" and then I watched the rest and realized they're all too awesome to be put lower than each other.
-
John Williams, may the force be with you, always.
-
How many Oscars you want Williams: yes
-
John Williams was always my favorite composer of all time!
-
Duel of Fates could at least get an honorable mention.
-
Williams, Zimmer, Horner, Giacchino and Elfman remain my top five composers of all time
-
This man is an absolute legend. Jurassic Park and E.T. are two of my favorite childhood movies ever. Both soundtracks are just stunning and I get goosebumps every single time. Pure magic. I also would like to shoutout Home Alone as well. God bless John Williams. A national treasure.

John Williams is a great composer no joke
-
John Williams is THE man for music in movies!
-
Before John Williams and Steven Spielberg, there was Bernard Herman and Alfred Hitchcock. In the mid 20th century they defined what the ultimate collaboration of director and composer could be to produce such incredible movies such as vertigo and psycho. The thing about Williams and Spielberg is rather than lasting a decade like Herman and Hitchcock, this collaboration lasted almost four decades. We are just so incredibly lucky for that.
-
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back should've made this list for The Imperial March.
-
williams is the mozart and betoveen of this era
-
Thank God he's still doing scores. For a second there, when I saw this list, I thought John Williams died.
-
The E.T music makes me cry every time I hear it. Absolutely beautful music that takes me back to my childhood. Takes me right back to being on the ride in Disney world, Orlando florida in 1994 and hearing E.T say thank you to us all one by one through the tannoy on the way out as the music played behind him. Fantastic.
