dramallama56 picked Hans Zimmer:

I loved the Lion King when I was little, so this guy is my idol. I swear, I worshiped that soundtrack. I listened to it about 5 times every day.

ktlady picked John Williams:

He's created such classics. While I can remember and hum most of his songs, there are few others that I can do that with. But Hans Zimmer is right up there as well.

polkadotty picked Murray Gold:

WOOOOOOOOO
go doctor who!
murray's sooo talented, and it always says on confidential how he has to whip up a whole new theme in like at fortnight's notice. I love the rose theme it really makes you think.

Oh, but I must add, Hans Zimmer comes in at a VERY CLOSE SECOND. Gladiator was A M A Z I N G!

atari picked John Williams:

Jaws score: 2 notes and you have a villan. - the Holiday

There's something unforgetable about his scores.

Bernard Herrmann is also amazing, the Taxi Driver score is haunting and fits the film perfectly.

Shinshika picked Danny Elfman:

His sound is virtually the same every time, but that's what's so great about him. Plus, I love knowing that if I'm watching a Tim Burton film, Elfman did the score.

traceypharm picked Howard Shore:

His profound compositions often makes speech unnecessary. His score for the Lord of the Rings is the best I have ever heard. Really looking forward to his work from The Hobbit coming out next year.
