So are people just listing composers where they're really only familiar with one score from that composer?

Waiting for somebody to mention Williams or Goldsmith next...

Moroder did Scarface, its by far a bigger score, only-downer, its not available.

And I have not yet heard Stardust, but if it's a more brilliant score than Eshkeri's 47 Ronin, I'm all ears.

I love Poledouris but I think his best scores (Flesh+Blood, Robocop, Starship Troopers, Blue Lagoon, Red October, etc) are not on par with his masterpiece: Conan.

I have to agree. Cue-for-cue, Conan reigns above them.




Jaws 3-D - Alan Parker (but he has not scored many movies)

There is ... another. I'm going to write a review about it eventually. I hope to contact him and run it by him and get further information. I want to really sell the review, plus, it's in desperate need of a deluxe treatment.

Brian May is no one hit.. Gallipoli is a fantastic score-film, so is the Thirst, Patrick & so on..

Stardust is a phenomenal score. Have been really disappointed that Ilan hasn’t written anything as brilliant as this. Justin and the Knights of Valour is a nice score of his but nothing near as great as Stardust. Haven’t heard 47 Ronin outside of watching the movie. Didn’t seem to remember much from watching it. May have to check it out.

Sorry for the delayed response, but for those seeking Eidelman's "other" great score, I can't recommend "Christopher Columbus" highly enough. It's a great album as-is, but let me repeat my hopes for an expansion someday.

Elia Cmiral's Ronin made me sit up and take notice in 1998, but he never wrote a listenable score after that. frown

Funny, I was recently driving home in my car and my music system shuffled the RONIN OST into focus. Have not listened to it in years, but then and there I listened to the whole thing. I was reminded of what a really good score that was; I mean, originally, Jerry Goldsmith was supposed to score RONIN, but for whatever reasons (scheduling conflicts?, I don't remember), Cmiral got the job, and did a really good one. But indeed... I don't really remember anything else by him. Could be that scoring BATTLEFIELD EARTH soon after scarred his career? (Don't know the score but the movie was a box office bomb.)
Though he has actually scored quite a few movies since, just not much that I've seen (or heard).

About Ilan Eshkeri : check out his recent scores for The Exception and Swallows and Amazons, they're really good.
