Some suggestions 

 

Jerry Goldsmith s Basic Instinct and Mulan and The Mummy and The Omen and Total Recall

Wocjeck Killar s Dracula

Alan Silvestri s Abyss

James Horner s Braveheart and Avatar

Basil Poledouris ' Starship Troopers, best war score ever !

John Barry s Dances with Wolves

Ennio Morricone s Untouchables

Zimmer s Thin Red Line and The Rock ( changed action music score forever)

I think at some point I'd like to run a countdown for the top film musical themes. Would anyone be interested in that?

yeah it would be way easier than making a best scores list.

AotC is a better score than RotS as far as I'm concerned. Battle of the Heroes is such a clunky theme while Across the Stars is the best cue of the prequels as well as one of the best cues of the series.

That is true theme-wise, but on the whole RotS has better music throughout. Anakin's Betrayal, Anakin's Dark Deeds, Enter Lord Vader, etc.

 

 

AotC plays the Trade Federation theme when the Clone Army is first introduced, its score sometimes gets fairly confused.

Probably, I'm just in love with the love theme. And since we're comparing two 5/5 scores it's not really a big deal.

It is a wonderful theme, Not as good as Fates imo. but I think I do like it better than Battle of the Heroes, which I love too.
