Best musical composer in motion pictures
My top favs in no particular order:
1. Henry Mancini: this guy is the god of motion picture scores. Even if you don't know it, you have heard at least one of his compositions: Pink Panther Theme, Baby Elephant Walk, and of course, the original compositions of James Bond Theme and Theme from Mission: Impossible.
2. Moby: not a favorite artist of mine, but his remix version of Mission: Impossible theme is da boss!
3. John Powell: this guy is new to me, but he did awesome work on the Bourne Identity, a power-tension enhancer to the fight scenes. Who would've thought that drum and bass alone can regulate your heartbeat?
4. Danny Elfman and Alf Clausen: theme from the Simpsons
best part is always Lisa's saxophone solo (and so many variations of that)
5. Jerry Goldsmith: he composed the theme from Star Trek movies.
6. Whoever did that Inspector Gadget theme. Go gadget go!
Share yours! but remember, only musical scores, NOT soundtracks!
