10 Christmas Tracks From John Williams To Get You In The Mood For The Festive Season

T'was the night before Christmas and all was quiet, well actually It's the 5th December but stay with me. Let's rectify that and make it even more like Christmas with ten festive tracks by John Williams. Merry Christmas.

Lets start with a classic from the movie, Home Alone.

We'll return to Home Alone later. Next up it's a real treat. John Williams conducting Sleigh Ride with the excellent Boston Pops.

Over to Home Alone 2 now with Christmas at Carnegie Hall.

All aboard the Hogwarts express now as we head to the magical land of Harry Potter for Christmas, floating candles and all.

Staying within the Harry Potter universe we have this wonderfully majestic piece from The Chamber of Secrets. Has a magical Christmas feel.

Back to Home Alone now. We couldn't do a John Williams Christmas list without this one.

A short track now from John Williams' soundtrack, The Book Thief.

Finally lets have a really traditional medley of Christmas music. Thanks for reading and listening. Merry Christmas everyone.

It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth?

It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen. First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne. Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened. It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut. One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door. Why the sudden cut? It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions. Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist? Watch the clip below to see the cut...
