Movie theme composers?

Have you a favourite composer? Some had a list of great movie themes so who do you rate?

 

Me? Well, Ennio Morricone and Elmer Bernstein rate highly with me for being memorable. You?

 

Mind you, I like Malcolm Arnold's "Bridge over the River Kwai" theme. OK, OK, I know you're gonna think of Colonel Bogey. Remember the air horns? I chose not to have that one, I just had the triples. I digress for a moment. Many many years ago I was driving down a narrow country road and came upon a lad riding a little 50cc bike and he was bent right over the handlebars as if he was really speeding on a big bike. He was doing about 25 MPH and was right in the middle of the road. I followed for some way, he hadn't seen or heard me so eventually I got up right behind him and gave him a blast of the horns. He wobbled like crazy and pulled over and you should have just seen his sheepish look. I had my father with me and that made him laugh.

 

Anyway, back to the composers eh?
