For the ones where the comment has been erased or not approved : "Message to people who come here to insult, tell bad things about Mr Williams or his music, or don't agree with the playlist of this film music medley (YOU ARE PLENTY !!!). YOU want to complain about why this composer or this one or this other one is not featured in this video / recording / Tribute / Salute, that this one had an oscar, or two or three or a million and you don't understand why it's not featured. You don't understand why your favorite composer or your favorite movie or favorite tune is not in this Film Medley... From now, your comment will be erased.

Many of the greats came over after fleeing Nazism. Korngold also wrote “serious” classical music for piano and orchestra but the movie studios paid most of the bills. Max Steiner was 9 years older than EWK and came to New York in 1914 working first on Broadway. Considered the father of film music he was also from Austria. His godfather was Richard Strauss and as a young man had private tutoring from Gustav Mahler. The “old timers” were a transition from the European classical tradition to American popular music for movies.

This VIDEO should be kept forever cause we do remember (and feel) all these fabulous themes and their respective FILMS but most of us NEVER remember their composers , all of them (except by 3 ) all dead now...A GREAT TRIBUTE we should keep forever !!🏆🌟🎬🎶🎼👏👏👏

Hello

This man is a legend, I have listened to his work...and ...oh wow !

[@2rst1lol]

Holy shit what a smooth transission from 20th century fox to star wars!

[@SuzieNerds]

I think Star Wars was intentionally written in the same key as Fox.

[@stephendobbins9251]

How can anyone not love this? This is a perfect set of music clips picked by John Williams himself. He is now retired and will be missed. His music will be around for future generations to love and enjoy. These films should be re-introduced in theaters to future generations to keep the love of them alive. I would love to see them replayed in theaters on the big screen.

[@Martyprod2]

1/ John Williams is not the only one who worked on this. this arrangement / medley has been done in collaroration with Conrad Pope 2/ there is no official statement that Mr Williams is retired, and it's normal, because he's not ! he's still touring worldwide and give concerts, and didn't told "no" to steven spielberg in case steven would ask him to write a new movie score. he clearly told it in several interview (check the Stephen colbert interview for the release of the Fabelmans : Williams : "steven is someone i can't tell no". despite his actual healt issues which forced him to cancel all his concerts for 2024, i'm sure the strong man will come back in 2025 ! we all hope ! just for your information, usually musicians never retire.

[@ianhaymton]

If I could just borrow the masterpiece of a mind from John Williams, just so I could feel and hear all of his genius and stunning ideas! 🙏🏻

Wonderful, committed performances. Williams has a true feel for these disparate film scores. But, where are Friedhofer's Oscar®-winning "The Best Years of Our Lives", Jerome Moross's "The Big Country", Alex North's "Spartacus" or Dr Miklos Rozsa's "Ben-Hur". Notable omissions.

[@peymang]

John Williams is arguably the centerpiece of Hollywood. None of all those amazing movies are memorable, without his touch. Spielberg said it himself

[@macart5429]

John Williams is the king of modern composers! This is truly epic. Probably the best medley ever written. The transitions flow like a river. The most notable and very smooth are: Casabalanca to Citizen Kane; Newman Fanfare to Star Wars, Psycho to Jaws, Out of Africa to Dr. Zhivago, Patton to Rocky, Cinema Paradiso to The Godfather, The Godfather to ET then Gone With The Wind.

In 2021 this would be nearly impossible to do lest you cite a bunch of old music nobody remembers. To do this you need an audience that appreciates melodies and composers who write good ones.

[@James-ll3jb]

Er no. Williams is overrated. A zero compared to Bernard Herrmann or Jarre

[@blissful4992]

@@James-ll3jb no biggie, he only composed Schindler's List, entirety of Star Wars, Saving Private Ryan, all of Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Harry Potter, E.T, Home Alone, Superman, Catch me if you can, original Olympic theme, the list goes on and on. On the other hand, Herrmann's work is rudimentary in comparison to Williams and the cultural relevance of his work is completely non existent, with only a few notable ones like Vertigo, Taxi Driver, Citizen Kane, Psycho, North by Northwest. Same thing for Maurice Jarre, not very relevant.
