[@captainkev10]

Yeah I don't know about all that. I'd rank Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, or Tchaikovsky much higher. But certainly the best for modern films.

[@FINgaming1000]

Kevin Hagler Mozart is my favorite composer but in my opinion Bach and Beethoven are the greatest composers because they (especially Bach) had such an important role in the development of music as we know it today

[@captainkev10]

Fingamer™ Can't argue with that. I recognize Bach for that, but Im partial to symphonies and operas. So unfortunately Bach wasn't able to live past chambers. Mozart's symphonies dont stand out to me as much to me, at least, but I love his Requiem and operas (Verdi and Puccini def deserve a mention as far as operas go). Favorites? I favor Beethoven, but I'd actually say Tchaikovsky is my personal top favorite. His 6th gets me.

[@kylejudkins754]

I drew a T rex onto a projector in an auditorium at my school for the talent show with the Jurassic park theme playing at that age. Teacher's weren't sure if they could do that so I got the CD myself and brought it in. JW still never got royalties, but was definitely an interesting experience.

[@michaelt1162]

I genuinely think that the Star Wars saga would be less great without the music from John Williams

[@JoshuaHickin]

Im convinced a new hope would have flopped without williams, you even see it in the documentary the production was going terribly, the music was one of the first things that was actually working

[@captainjacksparrow9715]

Joshua Hickin Lets not get carried away my friend. No doubt Williams music was important just like music is important in every film along with script, story, chatacters and visuals. However SW worked for creating a new world with visuals never seen before. It was a unique thing. Lucas deserves the most credit. Music of SW us great and really suits the films but they added to the movie not made them completely.

[@DeadAbeVigoda]

George Lucas once said about "Star Wars" that the music was the one thing that turned out better than he had planned.

[@Just_Varick]

Yeah I think you're right Michael. I'd go as far to say the music made star wars. The individual themes for each character. The swell of emotions each brought. When you hear the piece images will rush through your head, like luke staring off at the twin suns setting on Tatooine. John held the film together.

[@dankthug8815]

well duh

[@JD-dh3yn]

Harrison Ford somehow managed to look even better at such an advanced age. A great man.

[@NKWTI]

He really is a genius, the way he can create and match music to characters, stories, and emotions and create "themes" and then as sagas advance, keep the spirit of the old but reinvent it with a brand new theme intertwined within it, the way his creations sound like they were always self-evident and always existed, even though they were actually contrived to fit the sole purpose of sounding that way is amazing. It doesn't sound like he had to create anything, his work sounds like it always "was."

I have always been a fan of Harrison Ford. From his performance as Han Solo to Indiana Jones. I read in a book that way back when Harrison Ford first started his acting career, no one wanted to give him a chance. A lot of film makers really did not think a lot of his acting style. I on the other hand think Harrison Ford is an awesome actor. I am willing to bet that Harrison would have loved to see the looks on those people's faces that rejected him. You are one of the greats Harrison Ford!

[@kylejudkins754]

he is a terrible actor. he's got one character he can play = a trumped up version of himself. that said, he can still be an iconic onscreen personality - without being a good actor, which is why Hollywood tends to hire good personalities -and rarely ever good actors.

Why do you assume it is "crew" ? T-shirts have been around for 150 years. Blue jeans...Wranglers for over 120 easy. This film takes place in the 1930's. Why couldn't a pair of jeans and t-shirt have made their way to 1930's Marrekesh or Cairo? Sure there were people in those places during the 1930's who had such clothes...if only a few, at least some did.

[@TheBarber5550]

m1artz are you kidding? look at all the other extras in the background. his clothes are nothing like theirs. Spielberg wouldn't purposely make one extra look nothing like rest. it's even been confirmed to be a mistake by the crew.

[@m1artz]

Fine...but it can still be justified. Jeans and a t-shirt were still around then and westerners and western goods in the 1930's made it to Cairo etc. In other words...not a big deal..in fact, no deal..nothing to talk about really.
