Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg talk about new ‘Music by John Williams’ doc

Ask that peta file Spielberg what happened to Heather O'rourke... RIP Kappy

John's instincts are phenomenal. He knows EXACTLY what each film needs second by second.

So cool that Will Reeve is one of the hosts and a major John Williams theme is associated with his dad.

The Desert Chase sequence in Raiders is so good it's nearly surreal. John Williams wrote the music of my youth and early adulthood.

Like most people, my favorite John Williams score is PAPER CHASE.

Honestly its kinda hard to pick what is the best score by John Williams.

John Williams provided the soundtrack to my childhood.

It’s so funny that Ron Howard still sounds so much like Richie Cunningham at 72 years old. Can’t wait to watch this documentary.

The music this guy made is sublime.

He's done so much great work. Some of his best scores, to me, are ones off the radar. Hook may not be that great of a movie, but the music is sublime.

I hope they include on John Williams first movie: Daddio. 🙂 "Some guys had brothers. I had Sonny"

Does anyone else still pull up the old Lost In Space tv show music by Johnny Williams? I think he may have composed two different iconic versions for different seasons.

I love film and television music. Ever since the days of early tv (Checkmate, Suspense Theater, every damn Irwin Allen series) I have been immersed in John William's stylings. I first saw "Star Wars" when it opened at Grauman's Chinese Theater and swore I heard a "Lost in Space" like cue during the Mos Eisley escape. He is his own arranger, started in Jazz and mastered so many styles. His Olympic theme is a work of genius. I better stop now, or I'll really get carried away.

Steven Spielberg supports the Democratic party who is anti semitic they support Hamas and Hezbollah. So when they put him in the concentration camps and gas him and the Jews he can tell them he made Schindler's List. That's how stupid Spielberg is.

My late father (French Horn Musician) adored all of John’s soundtracks, especially CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THRID KIND, he played it all the time in its entirety & would explain to the family how important the Horn Instruments & timing of them are to the film….my personal favorite is Jurassic Park (the first one),…the melodic hooks just give me goosebumps & during the quiet parts of the songs brings tears to my eyes immediately….

Superman x2 LP Version is very powerful & important cinematic soundtrack for me, one of my first Williams albums I bought when I was 15 & Indiana Jones (The Temple Of Doom) is magical for me when I bought it, Orchestra Vs. Tribal Drums & India Chants at its finest, I never heard anything like it before, it’s the most played Indiana soundtrack for me, but ofcourse all 3 of the first movies high on my list & ofcourse STAR WARS changed the soundtrack music game for Hollywood…..

Ok I’m rambling, but I will be watching this Documentary bigtime,….great interview, appreciate it….May The Force Be With You John, ALWAYS👽👍🏾🎬

My favorite is one nobody ever mentions: his beautiful score from the 1995 remake of Sabrina. Elegant. ❤

The Superman theme will always be my favorite John Williams score🥰🥰

Iam such a huge JW fan. I own more soundtracks by him than any other music. He is absolutely incredible and I am so grateful that they have made this documentary. I really wish it had wider theatrical release.

How many film composers can you think off when the score is just as famous as the film

it's the soundtrack of my life, we will all cherish his music

My current John Williams' scores are from The Accidental Tourist and The Witches of Eastwick. They sure make you want to visit New England.

In years to come he will be regarded as the Mozart of our time.

John Williams is our generation Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Brahms, Tchalkovsky, Wagner & Handel.

1. Williams 2. Ennio Morricone 3. Bernard Herman. My 3 fav film composers.

These directors could’ve worked on a Superman IV or Superman V Sequel Will Reeve if your Dad’s movie Canon never purchased Superman IV or Superman V Industrial Light & Magic should’ve bought Superman from The Father Son Team who did Superman that your father portrayed so well I think Spielberg would’ve done Superman IV in possibly 1985 Christopher Reeve could’ve been Ben Richards in The Running Man in 1987 then play Superman in 1990 in Superman V and Superman & Supergirl would be in Superman IV & Superman V but when does the Christopher Reeve Documentary come to Max?

Before Jaws he also did Irwin Allen’s disaster dramas The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. I hope this is mentioned in the doc

Early film scores for director Mark Rydell - The Reivers (1969) and The Cowboys (1972)
Great movies with music in a nostalgic Americana style.

John Williams' music is such a blessing; what an amazing composer!

However long the running time for this documentary is, it won't be long enough.

Just saw the documentary and it is amazing the variety, breadth and depth of John Williams's work and the joy that he brings to it. Interesting to learn how he developed his craft and way of working. It is moving and very well done. Stephen Spielberg said it so well at the AFI Tribute honoring his friend and longtime collaborator: "Without John Williams, bikes don't 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."
