As a flute player who has played several of his works I was very worried for a moment that he was dead and no body told me!
NotLLCoolJ
I always get goosebumps when I hear his pieces. There's just something about Jurassic Park and Star Wars that almost makes me tear up.
financegod33
I’m literally listening to him as I opened this... rad!
PrivateIsotope
On top of all of that great work....boom! NBC Olympic theme!
alovelypintofguinness
I mean, dude, you made iconic Jaws theme and there's only 3 fuckin notes there. And that was more than enough

I did not know that speech... its great. Thank you for sharing!
theyar
I remember seeing it live, I was kinda surprised at how on point and touching both of their speeches were.
EducatedKitten
I saw Schindler's List for the first time recently. I have never cried so hard. Spielberg and Williams are truly masters of their craft.

"JOHN WILLIAMS IS THE MAAAAAN!"
Killrapture
I'm not ready for the world that exsists without new music from him

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Living Composer!
simscott
We have to protect John from 2018!
jesusedgarhoover
What's wrong with 2018?
jesusedgarhoover
Without John Williams sharks aren't scary.
SandyAnakin
I played a Seattle Symphony concert with him, and he brought Spielberg onstage with him as a total surprise to the orchestra (and audience)!
begonedouche
An amazing human, with amazing talent. We're lucky to be alive at the same time, to experience his brilliance.
KoreanAmericanGunslinger
+1 for this incredible composer...for his scores are the soundtrack of my life
TomFoolery82
I found this uplifting. Thanks op
TedTheMan
Beautiful post!
PatMcCoch
John Williams was my grandad's name. He survived ww2. Whilst unrelated in any regerd, the simple name association reminds me of him whenever
PatMcCoch
I hear his music. I am reminded of my grandad as well as some of my favourite films as a kid. Makes me feel good
Icantthinkofaname2
Love this musician. A wonderful talent.

I WAS LIKE LASSANNS BACK!?!?!?!?!
SomeDetroitGuy
He's a mod. He isn't going anywhere. Also, an asshole who stole someone's account and reposts shit.
Lassannn
I stole someone's account now? Okay, that's a new one.

It makes me sad that the US doesn't have a knighthood title. He deserves to be SIR John Williams, or even Sir John "Motherfuckin" Williams.
Lassannn
Somehow, "Sir Ludwig van Beethoven" would be a diminishment. As it would be for john Williams.
RawBlow
No mention of Home Alone?
Lassannn
Without John Williams, Macaulay Culkin cannot be raped by Michael Jackson...Wait what?
ArugulaZ
Or Gilligan's Island!

Home Alone is an amazing, under appreciated masterpiece. It also features the very best rendition of Carol of the Bells ever recorded.
JamieSmyth
Fucking....Jaws!
strangledbyaturtleneck
We could be here for years naming every film score he's composed.
RawBlow
But the important thing is we remember Home Alone.

This scared me for a moment.
The1stBellicose
RIP you beautiful bastard.
TriWingBaron80
F yeah it did. I scrolled back up AND googled him just to be sure.
Clorophyle
Sorry, but he’s smiling, so it’s a good memory. And I’m not crying!
AngryPotato464
You and I both man, you and I both
shankster79
You and me both. But whatever.

Mr. Zimmer kindly defers to the original 1978 film scored by JW. src-> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078346/
yourbassist
I know he wrote the original. I think Hans work stands on it's own merit too.

Man, "Binary Sunset" ALWAYS gets to me.
Crossmalaki
Same here.
YouThinkThatsBad
The binary sunset music going into the finale from VII is one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars music
CinciGuy
My friends and I have this game: Who influenced the most people, John Williams, or John Lennon? The debate rages to this day. My bet? JW.
mulligylan
That's a hard one. All popular genres of music have been influenced by the Beatles one way or another
YouThinkThatsBad
John Williams spans so, so many genres and everyone has seen his movies. Everyone. A lot of people don’t like the Beatles.
mulligylan
I'd venture a lot more people like the Beatles than dislike. Not to mention their influence on the music industry is still felt today
OlMuskybackatitagain
My one wish is to see him conducting live. It's saddens me to know that when he dies,so will all of the melodies he's still got stored away.
dietderpsy
We need to put this mans brain into a computer so he can continue to make us beautiful music.
standaloneSA
Do it. I splurged to see him at the Hollywood Bowl and I openly cried during Close Encounters. It was so beautiful.
standaloneSA
I’ve heard the LA Philharmonic before, but he gets so much more out of the performers than anyone else can.
Syntak
I loved the "Whitest kids you know" skit about him.
DuckFan87
He had to compose just the right music for when Short Round marries that Ewok.

Looks like all the decent versions have been taken down so we get this crap version but it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxDOSTtMxBA

I don't have it but I think it was season 5. Probably could find it on youtube
