Yes. I just found this place on YouTube that has a bunch of my favorite tracks synched up with the video but it's just the music! So cool!

Spike Room Scene! I love how the beat in this gets faster as things get more intense!

I only recently started to appreciate how good the music for the tank chase in Crusade is. Action music for a slow vehicle must be tough to pull off!

Hey great has John Williams been to this series when one of the most iconic music pieces of Raiders, "In the Idol Temple" isn't even mentioned until the fourth page of this thread? You can listen to that piece and literally feel those tarantulas crawling along your back...and can feel the sand sifting through your fingers as you try to gauge the weight of the idol....

It's definitely one of my favorites. My

Least favorites include the Ark, and Marion's theme. I can't explain it; I've just never liked those two. Marion's theme is too similar to Han/Leia love theme from Star Wars.

Favorite Theme Overall: Raiders march
Favorite Romance Theme: Marion's :)
Favorite Villain Theme: Nazi's from LC
Favorite Action Scene Theme: Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra
Favorite Opening Sequence Theme: Young Indy in Last Crusade
Favorite Credits Music: Last Crusade

I have to admit that for me the soundtrack of LC is my favourite, the most "mature" Indy tracks :)

They are very similar. I think though, that the Star Wars theme is more grand and epic, whereas the Raiders theme is more intimate.

The Ark theme is my favorite, but I can't decide if I like the map room scene or the opening of the Ark better.

I can't get enough of "The Map Room: Dawn" just the sheer importance of locating the Well of Souls is amplified through this beautiful piece of music:)

I'd say my favorite music from the whole entire trilogy would have to be in TOD when Indys on the platform or walkway or whatever and that thuggee runs up and swings his sword and indy ducks causing the thugge to cut that rope behind Indy, well ayway I love the music that plays wen Indy is swinging on the rope trying to reach the mine cart that Shorty and Willie are in. It only last afew seconds but I love it, my favorite of the whole trilogy.

I think the music throughout the whole trilogy is outstanding. They're among the best scores ever written. I couldn't choose a best action scene theme or best romance theme or anything.
I have to agree with you there. John Williams is definately one talented man. :)

But for me, it'd have to be a tie between the romance theme and Raider's March.
