I dunno.... I think we should listen to the Bilbo video again and compare.... let's see... where did I put that link?
To: ecurbh
Pinging the Ring Ping King....
To: Overtaxed
It is probably to recent a film to know for sure how long it will stay on this list.... But I do think folk like it! At least, the folk who make lists like it!
To: HairOfTheDog
That Bilbo video should carry liability insurance.

To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Yes and they didn't even list the theme song for Gilligan's Island!

The two that I immediately thought of upon reading the title of the thread were "The Mission" which is #13 on the list (yaaaaay) and "Last of the Mohicans" which was not (pout).

Wow... a lot of John Williams on that list!Well, he is the master... Just for interest sake, here is my personal top ten (in no particular order:
E.T.
The Fellowship of the Ring
Superman
To Kill a Mockingbird
Dances With Wolves
The Magnificent Seven
Ben-Hur
The Empire Strikes Back
A.I.
Edward Scissorhands
Batman
Vertigo
Taxi Driver
Jaws
PeeWee's Great Adventure
Braveheart
I know that is more than ten, but once I get going on this subject

My wife sang me the Bilbo Baggins song this morning when I woke up.
She's not getting a Christmas present this year.
The inclusion of the Nimoy piece in the FotR score would immediately move it from the best of all time to the worst of all time.
To: Overtaxed
If only they had some Tom Bombadil tunes in there, too!

I'd agree with this alrighty. Howard Shore wrote a wondeful score.
To: Lil'freeper
"The Mission" is a fantastic movie, highly under-rated.
Superb score too.
To: Overtaxed
49. The Score.
The background music wasn't nearly funky enough for me.

Ummm....I don't want to be a wet blanket so I won't say anything.
I haven't/don't watch SNL.
To: Overtaxed
Williams was the most popular composer on the list and the man behind the famous Star Wars theme. Three of his soundtracks were in the top 50 and he has a total of nine in the top 30, I counted 8 in the top 20!
I'm so thrilled that Lord of the Rings was voted #1. I just love the music, and can't wait to hear what Howard Shore has done for TTT!

I may be the only person in the country who didn't like ET or the music from ET.
