He also composed the theme music for Lost in Space under the name Johnny Williams. It was his Star Wars score in A New Hope that introduced me and caused me to fall in love with Classical Music.

He has quite a portfolio, some of which is still sitting in my to done files, but Mr Williams is filling up a fair bit of my cd collection.

I actually collected the sound tracks for the last three Star Wars movies, even though i do not care for the movies themselves, and will not buy them under any circumstances. The musical score John Williams wrote for them is awesome. 🤓

I agree except i liked the first six. With the 3 prequels being quite prophetic considering today’s times.

A few movie storylines from the past seem to have done that, for sure

I like to watch classic tv shows from the 60’s, 70’s 80′ s and 90’s as opposed to what is being produced today. The stories are better, actually make sense and the characters have more depth and are more realistic making it easier to suspend my belief system and enjoy the adventure. I also perfer the horror movies made in the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s for the samd reason. Happy Thanksgiving! 🤓

Hope you Thanks Giving was a good one. I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying, I like the older stuff too. One of my first horror memories was Quatermass – still one of my faves now. Late 70’s, I think. Probably more sci-fi thriller than horror but at the time scared the living stuff out of me.

Thank you Raven I hope you had a great Thanksgiving too. It was the original B&W movie The Blog staring Steve McQueen that scared the hell out of me when I saw it when I was ten yrs old. 😎
