I don't remember "2001" to well and didn't see
"Raiders of the Lost Ark", but I got the feeling
that I had heard some familiar notes in the score
of "E. T.".  The scene is the one where the bicycles
take to the sky.  The music seems VERY similar to that
heard in one of the latter movements of Beethoven's
Symphony #5 (can't remember off-hand which movement;
not the first, though).  Always wondered how John
Williams could compose so much music so quickly!
