Solium:
James Horner- Dragonslayer
John Williams- Dragonslayer
Jerry Goldsmith- Dragonslayer
Basil Poledouris- Dragonslayer
Anyone other than Alex North Dragonslayer.
The beeps and boops of Louis and Bebe Barron it is then.

An observation that can be made from looking at all these suggestions, is that FSM is a pretty reactionary crowd. Scores with unusual or alternative ensembles should be replaced with big orchestral scores, scores that try something different in approach should get scores that follow very set, oldfashioned genre tropes instead and so on. A bit disconcerting, but not altogether unexpected.
Another way of saying this, Thor, is: "Old news." 
Me, I'm grateful for the greater variety, and find a lot to enjoy in all eras and types.
Well, bluegrass not so much. But if it works in the film who cares if I wanna listen to the soundtrack.
Though I find its use in Whedon's Firefly and Serenity a little too arch.

Not a film, but a TV mini series. I was just checking out the score to a TV mini series called "Windmills of the Gods", scored by Perry Botkin, Jr.
That score should have been rejected.

I'm all for different approaches, but I think some films are by nature "reactionary" in style, and it's hard to go against that grain with the music.
I however have always loved Vangelis score for The Bounty -- but Vangelis was one of the few people able to make a synthesizer score to work in a period piece.

On many fronts, I think this is fairly accurate...probably reinforced by the traditionalism and nostalgia that are part and parcel with this genre of music and fanbase.
