Yes, Star Wars. But what about all the great John Williams scores from less famous movies? Here are 15 of them...
Cinema's most esteemed and popular film composer, John Williams, turned 85 this year (you might have seen the recent spectacular BBC Proms concert in his honour). Careers don't come more astonishing than that of Williams, nominated for 50 Academy Awards which puts him second only to Walt Disney for the most ever.

However it's all too tempting to boil Williams' career down to the more obvious highlights: Star Wars, the Indy trilogy, Superman, E.T., Jurassic Park and the like. In truth, he's a far more versatile composer than many like to give him credit for, and he's much more than just a big themes guy.

Once or twice, I heard of and was always fascinated by the idea of Doctor Who: an alien traveling through time and space battling injustice and observing history as we know it firsthand. I never managed to sit down to watch any episodes of it before I decided to sit and watch “The Impossible Astronaut.” I was a college freshman in America desperately trying to find my place when I came across a new friend who was a part of a Doctor Who fan club on campus. Flash forward to 24th April 2011 and I decided to finally sit down with some friends in the television lounge and give this Doctor Who a go, and enter Matt Smith as my Doctor.
Before Smith’s tenure as the last of the Time Lords, Doctor Who, which aired rather quietly on our public access television, had nothing more than a small cult...
