Composer John Williams doesn't only write superb themes for aliens, archeologists and war, he also wrote one of his best for the controversial political thriller by Oliver Stone about the assassination of John F Kennedy. Most of the film is technical and dialogue-based, but this ambitious and well-edited introduction manages to cram in all the backstory, and it is held together by a beautiful suite of the main theme.
Starring Kevin Costner, Donald Sutherland, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Bacon, Joe Pesci, Sissy Spacek, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon and Vincent D'Onofrio. Directed by Oliver Stone, with music by his frequent collaborator, the unparalleled John Williams.
