Just seen the film for the first time and loved it. I was really moved by Williams score though it's so powerful and touching. Anyone else love it?

All of Williams' scores are amazing. Recently saw him conducting at the Chicago Symphony orchestra where it was a bunch of movie themes. My favorite was the planned encore for Star Wars. They showed clips from the movies.

Everyone associates Williams with Spielberg - mainly because he has won two of his four Oscars on his movies. However, I think that the three scores on Stone's movies - BOTFOJ, JFK and Nixon are among his very best work.

This might be my favorite of all his scores. Its used throughout the film to convey totally different emotions sadness, triumphantness, ominous, hope, bittersweetness..
