I think the JP is a John Williams miss. That heroic main theme, pleasant as it is, means what exactly? How does that even work with the movie? I've read the novel and seen the movie, and I think Williams's music sounds better suited to a different movie. Wasn't nominated? So THAT'S the JW score from the last 30 years that wasn't nominated. Schindler's List deserved the Oscar that year.

Right. Not to mention it is VERY similar to the RAIDERS theme.
His secondary themes are much, much better.
bottom line:
If Goldsmith, Silvestri, Elfman scored the film it would have been just as great a success.
I doubt any other composer could have contributed as moving, powerful, and fitting a score for SCHINDLER as JW!

I LIKE IT BUT it is 'minor' Williams
It's about as 'major' Williams as it gets. Of course, I also think it's the greatest score ever written in the history of film music (and music in general), but that's me.
Right on Thor! I think JP is in the top five of the best scores ever!
For me, it's not even "Top 5"; it's right there on the very top, about a mile ahead of nr. 2.
ALLRIGHT ALREADY!
we get it Thor, you love the score.
Next!

Wow, interesting this high devotion to JURASSIC PARK. I enjoy the score (and I have particularly fond memories of the time the movie came out and I listened to the music... it was a beautifully hot summer in Los Angeles back then)... it is really good. But I think I like the score to LOST WORLD even more, which is among my favorite Williams scores. But I agree, JP is a splendid score.

I'm not going to deny that there's a bit of personal importance going on as well, in addition to the score's qualities. It cemented my film music interest.
That's one terrific score to cement film music interest! By the time Jurassic Park came out, I was already a collector in my mid 20s...
The scores one cherishes not just for musical but also for personal reasons do take on a special significance that pretty much trumps everything else.

I can see that. The other four for me are STAR WARS, E.T., JAWS and RAIDERS!
So who's your favorite film composer?
