 The theme from Jurassic Park was the first time music made me cry with joy. 

Do you have a "Williams trigger" - a music score that makes you instantly emotional?

 This is my guilty pleasure to play on Trumpet. Hedwigs theme is pretty good too imho.

 interesting side fact: John Williams music has been heard and remembered by more humans than any other composer is history.

 Yeah, that’s definitely THE John Williams (one of my favorite moments is Binary Sunset from the New Hope). 

If you’re interested, here is a podcast called The Baton that is all about Williams and his scores. Here is a Star Wars episode featuring  a guy, who played cello on the original soundtrack. ☺️
