I collect film scores as well. I've close to 300 scores on CD and about sixty of them are by John Williams. While I believe Williams is still composing some of the best scores out there (The Phantom Menace, Angela's Ashes, A.I., Minority Report, Attack of the Clones) I think Williams' most prolific period of scoring was from 1974 to 1984. To name a few: The Towering Inferno, Jane Eyre, JAWS, Midway, 1941, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, CE3K, Superman, The Fury, Dracula, ROTLA, E.T., JAWS 2, IJ&TOD, etc.
