http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVQ6sOMLQj4 Steven Spielberg once said that although his films can bring a tear to your eye, its the music of John Williams that makes that tear fall. No better example of this metaphor is given than in Spielberg's 1982 classic E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Williams is given an opportunity to once again bring out his rousing best with a heartfelt, endearing and emotional film score and succeeds with brilliant results. Williams' music slowly builds momentum as the film, about a lonely boy named Elliott who befriends everybody's favorite alien, progresses. Williams slowly builds his score piece by musical piece as the story goes along, with more and more members of Elliott's family discovering E.T. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial soars to new heights during the film's most celebrated sequence, when Elliott and E.T. end up going for a fantastical bike ride through the woods. Williams brings his orchestra together and lifts the film to a monumental high with his score. From that scene on, Williams and Spielberg collaborate together, taking us on an emotional roller coaster. The film's final scene is the heart rendering farewell to E.T. as his mothership has come to take him home. With Williams and his orchestra hitting all the right moments at the heart, there is usually never a dry eye left at the film's outset, a true testament to the magic film music can have and the talent that Williams possesses. John Williams won his 4th Oscar for Best Original Score for his work on E.T. The Extra Terrestrial.
