SUPREME SOUNDTRACK! SO FITTING AND SO INTENSE! Used to play this over and over at the age of 15! Love it still! Thank you, John!

@olafreinhardweyer I disagree.

@olafreinhardweyer Your right with star wars he was ripping off korngold and elgar he did close encounters after star wars that was more originaland atonal
-
A great, stirring, heroic, evocative classic from the musical genius that is John ("Johnny") Williams!! Bravo!
-
@gojira2006 PRECISELY!!! *Towering Inferno* (Williams' Main Title, that is) is a teeny-tad bit better but THIS, *Earthquake* (the Main Title theme) is nonetheless absolutely magnificent: Stirring, heroic, evocative...brilliant!!
-
Excellent sountrack !
-
Williams was so much better before Star Wars!!!!
-
Another Williams classic . . . !

@roquefortfiles Yes ! And on top of it all- the BIG pictures had exclusive engagements at the best theaters in town- not on 20 screens everywhere- which made it all the morer special ! Sometimes we had to stand in line through one or two showings just to get inside... It helped to keep the magic and make it truly a special event !

Uh Oh! LA is in peril.
Incredible special effects for its time except for the cheesy blood in the elevator scene! I saw this 4 or 5 times when it came out in Sensurround. Huge subwoofers vibrated the theater - I seem to remember them being 8 or 10 feet tall behind the last row of seats. Rollercoaster, and 1 or 2 other 70s movies used Sensurround if I recall correctly. The 1st time this was broadcast on network TV selected FM radio stations broadcast the intense bass during the quake scenes so u heard it @ home.
