Live Poll: Best Classic Sci-Fi Movie Score Soundtrack

LD,

You have a duplicate choice:
13. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
24. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

In descending order of my preference:
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Superman (1978)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
Forbidden Planet (1956)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Planet of the Apes (1968)
The Terminator (1984)
Back to the Future (1985)

E.T. or Alien.

Actually, score and soundtrack are two different things, so perhaps a better title would be:
Best Classic Sci-Fi Movie Score

The Star Wars (1977) is just so darn iconic, I'd imagine it being the winner. It'd definitely get my vote! Even many people who haven't seen the film I'm sure recognize its score.

I have a question: Is this about the score, the soundtrack, or both? The title says "Score Soundtrack", but I'm not sure what that means. If you're just doing score, you'd have to remove 2001: A Space Odyssey, and if you're just doing soundtrack, you'd probably have to remove everything but 2001: A Space Odyssey. X'D

Also FYC: List the composer's name next to the movie.

Now for my vote(s)
First Choice: Jurassic Park by John Williams
2: Star Trek: The Motion Picture by Jerry Goldsmith
3. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by John Williams
4. Star Wars (trilogy) by John Williams
5. Superman by John Williams
6. Batman by Danny Elfman

The top 3 were tough to decide on. I also don't know if I'd consider Superman, or especially Batman sci-fi. Those are more fantasy/action/adventure, and the superhero genre doesn't usually fit the sci-fi aesthetic for me. Maybe it's just a personal thing though, so don't worry about it too much.

My vote goes to Terminator 2. 

LD, the link to your list doesn't work. Are you still working on it?

'Great poll, LD! 'Tough choice because there are so many good ones: 'Love Blade Runner, love Star Wars and it's so iconic, and there are a few others in contention. Embarrassinly, I have never seen 'The Thing' but when I saw that Morricone did the music, that gave me yet another reason to see it: I have a feeling that if I heard that score, I might vote for that way.

I think I changed my vote to E.T.

Choosing between these scores is like choosing which of your children will get to survive. Not that I have children, but it's hard, man.

Congrats on the live poll! :)
