Which composers have worked with most debuting directors?

For example Michael Kamen have scored at least 4 movies for debuting directors: The Iron Giant for Brad Bird, The Winter Guest for Alan Rickman, Adventures in Babysitting for Chris Columbus and Nothing But Trouble for Dan Aykroyd.


I`m not after the best score to a directorial debut or a score to the best directorial debut I`m after the most hired composer for newcomers in the directors chair.

Interesting, I was uncertain if I could consider Sugerland Express since technically it is Spielberg`s first feature film unless you count Duel but on the other hand Duel was made for TV so I did not know if other people see Sugerland Express as his first or not.

DUEL is only a theatrical film outside the United States, and that theatrical version contains slightly different content to the TV version. But the TV version was first.

DUEL is also a foreign language on a visual level, IMHO, when compared to SUGARLAND. Also IMHO, DUEL is lean, mean, handheld, rough-and-tumble suspense, while SUGARLAND is fully-formed Panavision cinematic spectacle – not to mention a theatrical film from the get-go.
