    John Williams: 10 best movie soundtracks

    jurassic park

    7. Jurassic Park (1993)

    No one does awe and wonder quite like John Williams - and his main theme for Jurassic Park is no exception. You can't help but get a sense of the magnificence and sheer scale of dinosaurs from his stately music. But there's also the expected suspense and drama when everything starts to get out of control. While it never quite reaches the dizzy heights of E.T. or the bombast of Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park is technically brilliant and complements the movie's action at every level.
