Who is your favorite film composer?

[terrya]

Do you have one? Someone who's music really makes a film more enjoyable?

Mine is John Barry. He's written some memorable film scores. A wonderful composer in his own right.

17. Danny Elfman and James Horner.

I can't count how many times Horner's Aliens soundtrack has been ripped off. In the 90's you couldn't see an action movie trailer with out it.

Oh! And Hans Zimmer. I loved his Black Rain soundtrack.

Wait! One more...or two.. Basil Poledouris' "Starship Troopers" soundtrack is nice (I know, I'm a geek)...
