Who is your all-time, most favorite composer of movie scores EVER?

...Pretty self explanatory. You can even name two or three if you want.
My favorites are Danny Elfman and John Williams.

I would definetly have to say Phillip Glass or Michael Nyman (I'm forgetting Nino Rotta, but that's entirely for my special love for Fellini's films)

The great Enio Morricone. His Western soundtracks are so vibrant and vivid. The slow themes are also good. And the main theme of 'Once Upon a Time in America' is beautiful too. I made a selection of his compositions here:

Probably Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman. But I'm up for anything really, I just love a good soundtrack in general.

Hans Zimmer, no doubt about it. His music introduced me to the world of film scores in the first place.

John Williams, Howard Shore and Hans Zimmer.

That would be John Williams. I like his classical style and the use of accoustic instruments. The scores he makes often consists of themes. For example, in E.T., the theme is present all the time but doesn't expresses itself untill the end of the film.

It is also nice to hear him change his style a bit over the years. This can be heared when comparing the old and new Star Wars scores. This might also be due to the recording equipment of that time, but just like movies change (more special effects, faster action) the music has to keep up. Williams seems to be able to use his classical style for these modern movies.

In contrast, I would like to mention Hans Zimmer who likes to use the same formula of succes over and over again. Zimmer also digitally "enhances" his brass sections, which I find terrible. Then again, he also made nice scores like Da Vinci Code. I was so much looking forward to Angels & Demons. Well... let's just say that his latest soundtrack is "effective" in the film. But this is a typical case of reusing the exact same theme and the synthesizer action sections do not satisfy me. However, in "Beyond Rangoon": Waters of Irrawaddy he uses synthesizer sounds, combined with a sweet flute, which really touches me.

Other composers that I like are James Newton Howard (especially Hidalgo and Dinosaur), Harry Gregson Williams (Kingdom of Heaven!), Jerry Goldsmith (Ah, Star Trek) and David Arnold (Independence Day!).

I hope this gives a general idea of my taste :)

I must totally agree with renatocalisto - Ennio Morricone. When I first heard his score to "For A Few Dollars More" when I was a kid, I was hooked. His music somehow brings you right into the movie. It is always much, much more than just a soundtrack to me. I also thought that it was pretty cool when I heard Morricone's style represented in a scene in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. :-)

John Williams is my biggest favourite composer. His compositions are monumental, brilliant work with orchestr and instruments almost always reflects moments and my impressions from movies. But objectively is very difficult to say who is the best, becouse each of composers has its own style and their music and put into movie is also excellent. E.g. my other favourites John Powell, Jan A.P. Kaczmarek (especially Finding Neverland), Harry Gregson-Williams, Thomas Newman, James newton Howard, Hans Zimmer and Philip Glass.

An absolute favourite might be Danny Elfman, if I had to just name one (after all he's the only one that got his own sub-folder in my Soundtrack folder :D).

I'm also very fond of Hans Zimmer and James Horner. Howard Shore and John Williams as well.
