LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Jenna Ortega while blind ranking iconic film scores said that she is not a “crazy Star Wars’ person.

Ortega was on Jimmy Fallon’s chat show, where she had to play a game of ranking the iconic film scores and the first movie that was handed out was “Star Wars”, whose score has been composed by Academy Award-winning composer John Williams.

Ortega placed the film on the fourth spot and said: “Here’s the thing John Williams obviously one of the best to ever do. The greatest. (But) I am not a crazy ‘Star Wars’ person. I am so sorry.”

She was then asked to rank James Cameron’s blockbuster “Titanic”. The background score for the 1997 film is composed by James Horner.

Putting it on the fifth spot, she said: “I am so terrified because I feel that people are going to be so mad at me. But when I say that, do you understand where I am going?”

Then there was “Jurrasic Park” in the third spot, which she said was a “perfect little centrepeice”.

"All of these (films) are iconic.. Here’s also an important thing to remember: Jurassic Park holds more nostalgic value to me than Titanic does. So it's about relating it to myself.”

She gave the Number 1 spot to the 1993 film “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and said: “Sally’s song? Incredible. The beautiful (and) talented Catherine O’Hara.”

Ortega gave the last position of number 6 to “Lord Of the Rings” and the second spot to “Beetlejuice.”

The 21-year-old actress will next be seen in upcoming film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, ” directed by Tim Burton, who is known for making films such as “Frankenweenie, ” “Corpse Bride, ” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, ” and “Mars Attacks!”

Recently, Ortega spoke about how in Hollywood everybody wants to be "politically correct."
