luna Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 presumably you mean film composers, because i can think of many others who are better than most of those, especially from the romantic era. love chopin and debussy etc. i haven't really listened to enough scores to judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I like Zimmer's style the most. The least I like is probably Williams. I don't even like the Harry Potter theme that much and I'm a Potter fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJackSparrow Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 James Newton Howard. His best work is Signs, IMO. Also did great with Dinosaur and The Village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilusha Bandara Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I really won't say James Horner is the greatest, but still his TITANIC score is the most memorable, most loving and most dreamy score of all-time. It takes me to a different world. Edited August 21, 2013 by The Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Listen to 3:10 and then 34:52. LOL. He doesn't even try to mask the similiarities. The first is for one of the POTC movies and the second is for Crysis 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUHWrpjGVkg&feature=share&list=PL_zQh8JG13DE2s2SMmEYNhnmFCX5JuC8t&index=28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omario Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 1-John Williams 2-Hans Zimmer 3-Howard Shore 4-James Horner James Newton Howard, Harry Gregson-Williams and Alan Silvestri deserve a mention. My favourite since 1996 has been Hans Zimmer though. Been his fan since the Rock. Howard shore has composed the best score i have ever heard - LOTR John Williams has made the most iconic themes ever James horner...Braveheart and Titanic..nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
