Do you think that that's because of John Williams' composing skills or more because those five notes are used as a plot device? I'm leaning toward the latter, since it's not a particularly notable song.

Better film composers: Elmer Bernstein, Johnny Greenwood, Mica Levi, Mike Patton, Art Zoyd (if you can count them, they did soundtracks after the movies had been released), and Philip Glass.
