  • John Williams has been a truly astonishing film composer. Currently 82, I hope he lives to write the scores for the new Star Wars episodes.

    His Wagnerian inspired set for the original 3 films remain fresh today. His all American Indiana Jones and Superman are quite different, but equally engaging. Then the less triumphant American styles in JFK, 4th July and Private Ryan are another thing again -heartfelt and stirring. Then you have the haunting Eastern European Schindlers List.

    Practically every film he has done the score for would be only half as good/memorable without the music. Jaws, ET, Empire of the Sun, Harry potter, Jurrasic Park. It's incredible. Even random films like the Witches of Eastwick. He truly is a living great.

    I'd say Pulp Fiction is a good shout.

    Newly resleased 'The Wolf of Wall Street' had an enjoyable soundtrack. One pick being a more rock version of 'Mrs.Robinson'

    Difficult to name five. Anything by Ennio Morricone so I'll start with:
    The good, the bad and the ugly. then
    Lock Stock and two smoking barrels
    Trainspotting
    Resovoir Dogs
    A bridge too far

    But I could cheerfully have added Zulu, Lawrence of Arabia, Snatch, Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas.
