John Williams is easily the most-performed living composer. His film scores are so good that they can elevate an average movie to epic status. Seriously, Star Wars would not be what it is without its music. There are plenty of good film composers, but Williams stands out in his ability to write memorable melodies that become as iconic as the movie itself – merely mention one of the movies he scored, and you’ll hear the music: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, Superman, ET, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park.
