Sunday Top Ten - Movie endings

It's hard to separate a movie from its ending. All films intend to end on their strongest note. Necessarily, all the great films have great endings. I could easily replicate my top ten movies of all time and make a strong case for them being my top ten endings of all time, but for the sake of variety, I limited myself to only one of those on this list. Besides, there are plenty of films out there for which the endings speak such perfection that they stand out above the endings of films I actually like more.

It should go without saying, some spoilers and all that ensue:

Sunday Top Ten: John Williams scores

I've always been a sucker for the music John Williams. There's something about his melodies and orchestrations that just stick with me. I'm not alone, apparently. He was an Academy favourite for decades, amassing 45 nominations in 38 years. Granted, he hasn't been nominated since 2006, a long layoff by his standards, but he could be back with one or two Best Original Score nominations this year courtesy of Spielberg's Tin Tin and War Horse.

After hearing Michael Giacchino's apt impersonation of the composer in Super 8 two weeks ago, I felt compelled to revisit the his works and dedicate this week's top ten list to his finest film scores.
