In no specific order, depending of my mood of the moment...
Bernard Herrmann
Ennio Morricone
John Williams
Maurice Jarre
Danny Elfman
As I'm typing this, I'm listening to the beautiful Gladiator score by Hans Zimmer. I love working to soundtracks.
What's your fav?

All of the above, and...
Basil Poledouris
Max Steiner
Erich Korngold
Alex North
...come to mind
-
Ennio Morricone
John Williams

Morricone and Poledouris are my personal favorites. Poledouris' score to Conan: The Barbarian is an absolute masterpiece. It really is a shame that the disc is out of print and costs a fortune. I also really enjoy Zimmer's score to The Rock.

These would be my choice too. The opening titles of Beetlejuice still gives me goosebumps.

I forgot Alan Silvestri (for Back to the Future and Forrest Gump) and James Horner (for Braveheart and Titanic).
-
Being a score fan, I think I might give this thread some life.
Favs

- James Horner
- Danny Elfman
- John Williams
- Jerry Goldsmith
Pino Donaggio for his effort on The Barbarians.
Fav score would have to be Predator.

Number one for me would be Clint Mansell. His soundtrack for "Requiem for a dream" made my head explode the first time I saw the film, and still does.
Love also what he did for "The fountain". Great music, not so great film. I like it though.
And Elfman too, being Edward Scissorhands his best.

Agree. Batman 1 and 2 were solid.

Does Christopher Cross ARTHUR'S THEME count?

Vangelis needs to be mentioned for his Blade Runner soundtrack.

Don't know how I missed this thread before....
I'll throw in another couple that haven't been mentioned yet as most of my fav's are already named.
H.J.Salter
Frank Skinner
James Bernard

Joe Hisaishi (Miyazaki composter over the years).
I would put the score to Spirited Away up against anything in the past 30 years or so...
-
Another favorite: Ryuichi Sakamoto

Howard Shore for VIDEODROME and DEAD RINGERS

Some great composers above...makes me want to trot off and listen to some OSTs. Not mentioned yet, who I like very much (particularly the Enter the Dragon score) is Lalo Schifrin.
-
Bumping this back from the dead. A sublime score is everything.
Victor Young destroys me. Can never listen to him with company around, I always end up in floods of tears crying
Phillip Glass. Although the films attached may be pish. Glass always delivers.
Goblin. Can you imagine those Argento films without Goblin? If the Suspiria score isn't the greatest idk whats wrong with you.
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis. Favourite working composers hands down. I've gone to see films that they've scored when I've not been interested in the film itself. There isn't another I can say that about.
Oh, big up to Angelo Badalamenti too! thumbsup.gif

A handful whose music I do enjoy:
Alex North (his unused score for 2001, A Space Odyssey is awesome)
Jerry Goldsmith (his unused score for Legend (1985) is outstanding, imo)
James Newton Howard
Carter Burwell
John Barry (love his score for Dances With Wolves)
And as ladeda mentioned - Angelo Badalamenti (his Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive scores are all worth a listen to, on their own).
-
Plenty of great names there....
Ennio Morricone, clearly, but I prefer his Italian horror composition, especially A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN, which is great. He got an award for that Tarantino movie recently which is very similar to what he used to do in the Italian Giallo. He said it himself in an interview, the western-spaghetti music is mainstream music and not his best, he prefers himself the composition work done on Giallo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYfRiDZWezU
Wendy Carlos, because of the gender change and that deep sound in Clockwork Orange which stick you to the wall and Shining. What an odd story! thumbsup.gif
Let's go global !!
You can't ignore dad and son, S. D. Burman and R D Burman, the most famous Bollywood composers.
Jewel Thief by S.D. Burman - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4S1zs4KPxY&list=PL82570BF6C2F8F6EB&index=9
The song was sung by Asha Bhosle and R.D. Burman - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcwNTdrJFMI&list=PL82570BF6C2F8F6EB&index=20

Wendy Carlos is a great call! The Clockwork Orange score was the catalyst for the whole synth/electronic movement.
