When I see a movie, I don't just watch it. I listen to it!
I like listening to soundtracks from good movies.

My favourite composer is Hans Zimmer http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001877/. He made the music for
- Pirates of the Caribbean 2, 3 and 4
- Lion King
- Madagascar
- Inception
- The holiday
- The dark knight
- Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
and of course a lot of other fantastic movies :)

James Horner http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000035/ is a very good composer too!
He made the music for:
- Titanic
- Avatar
- Zorro
and others..

If you like I can recomment tracks from each movies :) I have my favorites :)

- Rose :)

Stevil

My favourite composer is Steve Harris from Iron Maiden.

Haven't heard of him, but maybe I will! :)

For orchestral composers it's John Williams all the way. Made the music for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and a hell of a lot more.

I couldn't agree more! John Williams is one of my favourites too :)

Love theme from Star Wars - Good choice :D

Hmm... As far as film composers go, Ennio Morricone, Nobuo Uematsu, Edward Shearmur, Klaus Doldinger, Mark Snow and a couple of others are worth a mention in my book.

Zimmer is very competent as well, but doesn't quite make my kind of music.

He doesn't compose for movies, just songs.

She does. I don't.

(As stated, however, I find nothing at all wrong with the quality of the music he writes, but just like I would not buy a Subaru in spite of its quality, I would not listen to Zimmer outside a movie.)
