[Film] Your Favourite Ever Film Composer

[Napier]

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.

 

[getz]

Another vote for Henry Mancini. Too many films to name. Listen to his scores for the Tv series in the 50's for " Peter Gunn".Wonderful!

 

[Is it PotG?]

After Ennio, has to be Nils Frahm

 

[ManOfSussex]

Ron Goodwin. Who? This!

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Probably Ennio Morricone for me. His catalogue is just enormous but the Spaghetti western soundtracks are fantastic

Those and The Mission

 

[Goldstone1976]

Philip Glass

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm guessing T Bone Burnett isn't allowed, what with him being a producer despite:-

 

[ManOfSussex]

Danny Boyle

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Zimmer nails it again with another extraordinary piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUpvEgJEn94

 

[exKT17]

How about lobbing Jonny Greenwood into the pot, especially for 'There Will be Blood"?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Team John Barry.

Carter Burwell is a great call. This is a stunning piece from a truly superb film. GREAT young composer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Diz7r2xa7c&t=163s

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Barry.

OHMSS, You Only Live Twice, Goldfinger of course - but I can't believe nobody has mentioned this:

[Pevenseagull]

Don't think Lalo Schifrin hasn't been mentioned yet.

Or Roy Budd

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Fabulous. John barry thunderball

 

[Ceej]

John Barry, but Michael Giacchino is brilliant:

[Boys 9d]

W A Mozart - Elvira Madigan

Such a visionary, he wrote many pieces of film music before films were invented.

 

[Robinjakarta]

 

[OzMike]

That's a really tough one, would be hard to pick from Williams, Horner and Newman.

 

[OzMike]

I also like Craig Armstrong as well.
