At the very least, it definitely belongs in the top ten (not at #13). At least bump Catch Me If you Can out of the top ten :/

While in Oxford Blues (my #1 guilty-not-guilty pleasure to this day ever since I went to the premiere) and Arachnophobia, he delivered his lines in such a whisper-like manner, yet still managed to hypnotically hold your attention. R.I.P.
Superman should be at #2. Nothing’s going to be as iconic as Star Wars, but Williams’ theme for Superman is the theme music for an entire GENRE. Every superhero film or TV soundtrack that actually makes an effort (so most of the MCU is disqualified here) owes a debt to Williams’ Superman score. All of them sound at…
hahaha pretty sure that convo actually happened. Man DC films have been produced by a lot of blowhards for half a century.
I dunno about “on this list”, but all the immortal cues he provided for “Gilligan’s Island” have fit neatly in my frontal lobes for decades.
Star Wars may have had the initial influence and impact, but Empire is an absolute masterpiece of lietmotif. It’s easily one of the greatest film scores of all time, not just in Williams’ filmography.
Close Encounters is doubly impressive when you consider Williams composed most of it before the final effects were…
Maybe they’ll transition the castle in the Disney logo into something.
Everyone knows Barbie comes only with accessories ;)
Actually, I didn’t realize that. Yeah, it should be interesting.
Oh that’s right... this will be the first Indy movie not distributed by Paramount, so the logo won’t be there at the beginning. I wonder what they’ll do instead?
I think Streep was starting to broaden into comedy deliberately to round out per prospects a bit. She’d done She-Devil and Death Becomes Her just before this, I think.
Yeah.
Bowie, Rickman, Prince, Fisher - it was hit after hit. The year SUCKED ROCKS. And don’t get me started on politics.
Dang, consistently... what a great head on her shoulders she has. I couldn’t agree more. The Robin and Steve bits from season 3 are still my fave moments. It’s just so refreshing; just having characters that just be, just live their lives, and not just waiting for someone to walk into theirs.
Re: “Indy just needed to find his family...” Yup. Exactly. What a massive missed opportunity not having the Oxley character be Short-Round(!). Instead we’re treated to a character with some past history with Indy that he’s looking for (a role tailor made for Short-Round), we already have another past character made to…
Holy crap, you and me both, Maya! I do not give a shit about Robin being in love, her and Steve’s friendship is great! I’d watch the hell out of a show with her, Steve and Dustin being friends and going on adventures and nobody falling in love with anyone, because that love shit is boring and waaaay overdone.
Imagine if the shark in Jaws, a sleek killing machine which followed no rhyme or reason other than constant hunger, had a clearly defined motive?
The fact that they were people wealthy enough to drop a quarter million each for a thrill ride, aboard what most of us would consider an experimental vessel at best, plays into our willingness to make light of their tragedy. You don’t see that same kind of joking about the migrants lost at sea trying to reach Greece.
Because, yes, THIS is the thing that jumped out at me about the review. The thing about the taxes, because clearly I am having a joyless day.
Critics need to start watching comedies with an actual audience. Way too easy to sit in a screening room with five other underemployed people trying to make their liberal arts degrees matter by writing “yes, not enough class politics in this R-rated sex comedy. Thumbs down.”
