I love Hans Zimmer, Howard Schore, John Williams, James Horner, Alan Silvestri, Rachel Newman, Danny Elfman, Tan Dun... and so many more! Some soundtracks that I do not tire of include the original scores to Chocolat, Last Samurai, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Harry Potters 1 + 2. I wish I had gotten the National Treasure soundtrack when it first came out and was pretty inexpensive. The cheapest I've seen nowadays is like $50 on Amazon. Any soundtracks or scores that you love to listen to?

I love movie soundtracks too, and you seem to be a fan of all the composers I love! Howard Shore's Lord Of the Rings; James Horner--his credits are too numerous to mention, but I love Glory, Braveheart..to name a few..Danny Elfman's Edward Scissorhands is incredible, Alan Silvestri.. you forgot...John Williams!! Did you mean Randy Newman???--IF so love his soundtrack for Seabiscuit--Hans Ziimmer's Gladiator is terrific...

I've never listened to Edward Scissorhands, but Elfman's Big Fish is really good. Oh my gosh, how did I leave out John Williams? He's brilliant! And oops, I meant Rachel Portman... she did Chocolat.

I don't pay much attention to who composes the scores, but I do have a small collection of favorites. City of Lost Children, Ravenous, Blade Runner, Heaven and Earth, 1492 Conquest of Paradise.
