The best modern composers out there include Hans Zimmer (Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator), John Williams (Star Wars, Schindler's List), Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings), Danny Elfman (The Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas.)
Also noteworthy is the otherwise random Australian composer Burkhard Dallwitz for his work on The Truman Show, although only a handful of the songs on the album were original works (the rest are recordings of Mozart piano pieces and such.)
Look up these men and their works and you'll find great music. The music in these cases is just as good or better than the films they enhance.

Um... James Horner?
ReplyDeleteI believe the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie was scored by Klaus Badelt... which was the best one. And consider these folks too:
ReplyDeleteAlan Silvestri: "Back to the Future," "Forrest Gump," and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
Michael Giachcino: "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," and "Up."
And, as Clancy mentioned, James Horner: "Titanic," "Braveheart," and "Field of Dreams."
