Greatest film composers EVER

[The Large One]

Ennio Morricone by a country mile for me. His top six...

1. A Fistful of Dynamite / Giù La Testa (Main theme)
2. Once Upon A Time In The West (Jill's Theme)
3. My Name Is Nobody
4. Il Triello from Il Buono, Il Brutto, Cattivo (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly)
5. Once Upon A Time In America (Cokey's Theme)
6. Chi Mai from 'Le Professionel'

John Barry is excellent, and he comes close-ish, but no cigar.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

I quite like David Arnold's work.

 

[Gwylan]

Nino Rota's my favourite,. just ahead of Bernard Hermann and Erich Korngold's swashbuckler scores - especially Robin Hood.

But i also love Dmitri Tiomkin's score for High Noon and Miles Davis for Ascenseur pour l'échafaud.

 

[Nibble]

I like Harold Faltermeyers scores for the classics, such as TopGun and Beverly Hills Cop.

 

[Tooting Gull]

I thought the Babel music was superb, bought it the next day - and the composer of most of it (Gustavo Santaolalla) has since won Oscar and Bafta for it.

Bernard Hermann by some distance. Taxi Driver is dedicated to him, don't you know - Scorsese always considered him the greatest, and he died during the making of the film.

Lalo Schifrin- Dirty Harry, quality.
Jack Nitzsche- for his work in Performance and One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest- oh and Lonely Surfer is a Cracking tune.
