John Williams Original Score Tournament

Are you really surprised that this is my next tournament bracket? I may be a little bit obsessed with John Williams... but for real, he's the GOAT!

So here's the deal: the point is to vote for the best score not the best film. I know which John Williams score is my favorite -- and it's not the same as my favorite John Williams-scored film. Of course, I have no way of knowing how or why our IG followers vote the way they do, but it's my hope in any case that they'll vote for score not film.

If you want to follow the progress of the tournament, check out the Challonge page. If you want to vote, follow us on Instagram!

And, as always, I'll be posting my commentary on each round in the Favorite Films topic -- hit follow if you want your semiweekly peek into my brain. It's a weird place. Follow at your own risk.

And just so you know where I stand, this is my favorite John Williams score:


Favorite John Williams-scored film is a toss-up between Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Jurassic Park, and The Empire Strikes Back. Someday, I'll do a Spielberg bracket and let three of those four duke it out.
