At least John Williams, thats one we ALL agree on. Jerry Goldsmith I think as well. Bernard Herrmann and the other 3 who knows. All those old classical composers are about the same in my book, they all did some great scores and some bad ones.

There aren't JUST five. And there isn't ONE. All things being subjective, I'd say there are about 10 who really rise to the top of any list of composers since the advent of the film score. I'd be hard pressed to condense it to just five names. These are my all time greatest film composers: 1) John Barry 2) Jerry Goldsmith 3) Ennio Morricone 4) Nino Rota 5) William Walton These artists almost made it to the top of the top: Ralph Vaughn Williams, John Williams, Arthur Honegger, Sergey Prokofiev, Dmitri Shostakowich, Miklós Rózsa, Georges Delerue, Michel Legrand, Angelo Francesco Lavagnino, Piero Piccioni, Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold...
