    Superman

    15. Superman

    In complete contrast to the long process of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, John Williams score for Superman was one of the last aspects of the film to be added. Brought in to replace Jerry Goldsmith, who scored director Richard Donner's film The Omen two years earlier, Williams conducted the London Symphony Orchestra through a very entertaining score.
