Written by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch; performed by Tim Blake Nelson and Willie Watson One of the most surprising moments in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was this little ditty, which kicks in about five minutes into The Coen Brothers’ anthology western.

Composed by Michel Legrand with English lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman; performed by Noel Harrison Thomas Crown is an almost entirely impenetrable character; an impeccably debonair millionaire played with icy indifference by Steve McQueen.
