I have listened to a ton of movie music composers and most of my favorites are listed here.
Hans Zimmer is definately my favorite. |

Mark Mothersbaugh has done outstanding work on Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Hans Zimmer is good, but I am a huge fan of E.S. Posthumus. They are not really newcomers since a lot of there music is recognizable in trailers, but they have had their music in a number of movies as well. I am eagerly awaiting for a new album, but their last album was named Unearthed. You will definitely recall at least one of their songs in a movie or trailer you watched over the years.
Anyways here is a link to hear the samples and read the reviews as well: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...209395-2471320 |

I was thinking he was talking about more modern guys, but I suppose any list should have Morricone and Bernard Hermann (the best, in my opinion). |

Danny Elfman is amazing.

Ah, another real good one i forget. I liked his score to I Heart Huckabees way better than the movie itself. Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind was also great.

Isn't he a director only? Of course Ennio Morricone did the music for the cult classic "The Thing" by John Carpenter. Which was perfect for the film. |

He made up the theme to "Halloween" while dinking around on a little keyboard, and I know he's done a ton of other ones: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000118/ . "The Thing" appears to be one of the only ones he didn't compose.
