	very intresting quiz.....I was really suprised when the answers showed up of how many obvious ones I missed

	I only got Star wars and Memoirs of Geisha because we played both of those in orchestra

Comment below threshold: show it

	He is a really talented composer... he deserves more Oscars.

	jism:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 16:12 GMT	3 points
	I think Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone should be accepted. That is kind of the official name of the book and film and is called that just about everywhere in the world apart from the USA. Good quiz, helps if you know your Spielberg films.

	Heard of most of these films but only got 5 right. I only had 1 (Jaws for ages) then looked at 1993 and thought of Shindler's List and with about 20 seconds left looked at 1977 and thought of Star Wars (and managed to type in the two sequels in time).

	I'm somewhat stunned he didn't even get a nom for Phantom Menace. Yes, the movie was atrocious, but the score was outstanding, and by far the best part of the film.

	Good quiz. As for the Streep reference in the teaser...when's that quiz coming?

	Talick:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 17:02 GMT	14 points
	W...T...F?!?!?! Jurassic Park wasn't nominated? That music is scarred into my subconscious mind.

	Ben:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 17:23 GMT	1 point
	Foghorn: In her movies quiz the noms are highlighted... so there probably wont be a quiz just for them,

	i loved when we played williams' stuff in band in high school. it was so much fun.

	hornplayer:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 19:11 GMT	1 point
	Definitely one of the better modern composers of our time. Good quiz

	shel99:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 20:19 GMT	2 points
	I adore John Williams. And felt extremely silly when two of the ones I missed are albums that I own...

	MovieDynamic:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 21:34 GMT	-2 points
	Wow, best quiz ever for one of the best composers ever.

	MovieDynamic:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 21:45 GMT	-1 points
	The third column labeled "reason" is really bizarre. It should say "category" or something of the like.

	Bees:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 22:21 GMT	-1 points
	Om nom nom nom

	debbiedoesnothin:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 22:40 GMT	1 point
	@ foghorn - There is a Meryl Streep movies quiz. I'm not sure if it's been updated lately.

	"A.I." should work too, please

	Jeremy:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 15:35 GMT	1 point
	@Talick I couldn't agree more. I can't get it out of my head right now.

	I forgot about prisoner of azkaban and thought someone else took over the reigns at that point

	It's amazing that the man has 45 Academy Award nominations and there are STILL so many that he deserved to be nominated for. Where are his scores for The Cowboys, Midway, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Fury, 1941, and so many others? Can't wait for his TinTin score.

	please allow it to accept philosophers stone for the brits and canadiens

	His intro to "JFK" is one of the best pieces of music ever put to film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA2sN4DQgaE

	As of this morning, you can go ahead and add "The Adventures of Tintin" and "War Horse". This brings his total to 47, breaking his tie with Alfred Newman. He'll still need 12 more to tie Walt Disney as the most nominated individual in Oscar history.
