3BT: Happy Tunesday

As you know, if you follow me on Twitter (via Blipfm), I had a bit of a Star Wars fest on Saturday (May the fourth etc ...) but it got me thinking about the wonderful composer that is John Williams, and how his memorable themes have graced some of the most iconic movies of a generation. The hard part is reducing them down to a trio. Since you can hear Star Wars here - I've resisted the urge and settled for these instead:

Harrison Ford is probably more synonymous with Indiana Jones now ...

... while this lovable little creature stole our hearts with an uplifting soundtrack - remember the cheering in the cinema, when the bikes took off?

And finally, clever producers knew there was only one man to turn to for the soundtrack to Harry's story.

I'm off to track down his 'Best of' on my Kindle ...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I'm not a critic, I'm not looking for the joins - I thought it was brilliant. All action, trademark humour, excellent cast, a nod here to the first film, a nod there to Harrison Ford's 'other' hero, littl'un needing the loo halfway through (I told hubby not to get him a drink) Indiana Jones meets Close Encounters; Lucas and Spielberg must have been like kiddies in a playground.
