There was also a really cool shortened version of the Land Race used in the Treasure Planet Trailer which kept all of the most intense and triumphant parts of the soundtrack.

I would say ET.

Williams was inspired by many of the greats of the past, but Holst's the Planets was one most noticeably inspired. Though, he uses motifs a lot, and Beethoven was all about Motifs, as were many of the classics.
David Jackson
Andrew Lee
You don't need to start defending him. The contrarians aren't here yet.
Jackson Morris
IMO Superman is his best score all around, not just the main theme

They can call him whatever he wants, his works speak for themselves. I want to make music and films that are just as triumphant, blazing trumpets, bombastic blockbuster joy to bring to all ages. With one awesome, independent film, I'll be remembered as amazingly as Williams for doing it all myself.
Lucas Wood
Superman's pretty great, I still remember hearing that theme for the first theme. It doesn't get more triumphant with Superheroes than Superman.
Sebastian Fisher
Shark Cage Fugue from Jaws.
Flight to Neverland from Hook.
Tons of stuff from Indy, probably go with the jungle trek/saving the child slaves music from Temple of Doom. My top 3 at the moment.
I just recently learned that Wally Stott (who did the orchestration for Scott Walker's solo albums in the 60s) wrote a decent amount of the music for the Empire Strikes Back, and I'm trying to figure out which bits. Maybe the part in Cloud City when Luke is quietly trailing the others in the corridor trying to catch up to them - it's the most non-Williams sounding part of the whole trilogy, I think.
Leo Ortiz
His contemporary classical pieces and concertos are pretty amazing all on their own.

I loved the Child Slave March, It was so triumphant, Williams really shined with his majestic composing here. It's pretty clear he was greatly inspired by Sousa's Marches, and of course, his origins in Millitary music and Jazz.

The Adventures of TinTin: Secret of the Lost Unicorn was an excellent late work of Williams. Same goes for War Horse.
Josiah Ward
He's the only thing that's not soulless about star wars today.
Wyatt Morales
I remember that trailer on television and on VCR. Good times, to hear it with high quality sound is even better.

Harry Potter was another one of his successes, with exceptions to Despalt who wrote the soundtrack for the last movie.

Has everybody forgotten the '96 Olympics, and Summon the Heroes? Williams shined that day.

They probably don't remember it, nor this.
