    Lincoln - Williams

    7. Lincoln - Williams

    It's a perfect fit: an all-American storyline, with a soundtrack composed by the the USA's most iconic film composer, John Williams. The music has its fair share of emotion and drama, as well as a storming barn dance thrown in for good measure.
