I am a huge admirer of Powell's score for United 93. I know some, including Powell originally thought this film didn't need a score but this is a wonderful creation for the saddest of subjects. Genuine tension and sadness is generated throughout. Powell's son, Oliver is used to provide vocals which give a haunting quality to the score. For me, one of Powell's very best....possibly his best.

I do believe that Williams is much, much more than Star Wars, Superman and Indiana Jones so I've selected five which try to illustrate a broader cross section of his work across a range of movies. Jaws Dracula ET Nixon The Eiger Sanction If I was looking to add five more, I'd go for Lincoln (one of his best later scores) Superman Memoirs Of A Geisha AI Close Encounters
