Favorite TV or Movie composer?

Please note that I am referring to music that is made specifically for television or a movie (the score), not popular songs that are used in the movie (a soundtrack).

I really like Hans Zimmer:
True Romance:


Journey to the Line (From "The Thin Red Line" The whole score is great):


Clint Mansell: Lux Aeterna- Very overused in trailers for awhile, but an amazing song. From Requiem For A Dream

That's a great tune. Morricone is of course another legend at film composing.

Snuffy Walden. He was the composer for all the music in book turned mini-series, The Stand. He also has done a couple of other tv shows I believe. He only has 2 albums but they are pretty good. Really good guitar work.
