Since no one has mentioned John Williams, I will. I wont post any of his music because I know you already know many of them.

Ennio Morricone is the answer. Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America are the two greatest scores in the history of film.

Along with Morricone, I like Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape), Lalo Schifrin (Mission: Impossible and Enter the Dragon), and Jerry Goldsmith (The Omen and the Rambo films).

And just FYI for anybody who cares: The score for True Romance wasn't an original score. Being the cinefile that he is, Tarantino wanted Tony Scott to use the theme from Badlands.

My faves are from Clint Mansell, especially over his score of The Fountain.

I also really like Danny Elfman.

Cliff Martinez has done some nice soundtracks, I especially liked the new Solaris's soundtrack. I've heard a few of the tracks in commercials as well.

Nick Cave did a great job in The Proposition and The Assassination of Jesse James.

And one of my favorite Hans Zimmer themes except the True Romance one ofc is The Contender theme.



Clint Mansell - Dead Reckoning from Smokin' Aces is also excellent.



Craig Armstrong - Escape is also fucking epic, but can't remember the original movie it's from.

whoever scored the fight scene from Episode 1 saved that movie from the utter crappiness of Jar Jar Binx and little Anakin.

This is great. Hadn't heard it before.

Here's the original True Romance song from George Tipton used in Badlands with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek (anyone who has seen True Romance will see the HUGE influence this film had on Tarantino):
