Question

How many of you can name the most film/orchestral score/soundtrack composers? Try to list ones that are really famous, kind of famous, and not that famous!

Answer 1

HANS ZIMMER IS KING OF MOVIE COMPOSING

Answer 2

Note: internet searching/google is allowed! I know it's tricky to think of them.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Okay, I'll start you off:

1. John Williams (of course!:)
2. Alexandre Desplat
3. John Powell
4. Harry Gregson-Williams
5. Steve Jablonsky
6. Danny Elfman (certainly a man of fantasy!)
7. Rodgers & Hammerstein

Answer 8

the only one i reckognised was danny elfman

Answer 9

Well, don't worry about it - I kind of cheated. :) I have had the opportunity of being able to listen to Rhapsody for many years, so I guess I've had more exposure to them, than most. That's okay, though! At least you knew Danny Elfman. I know that it's hard to remember composers, where they always put their names in the end credits kind of far down!

Answer 10

noone ever looks except us!!!

Answer 11

Right!

Answer 12

Are you the type that always stays for the end credits, at the theater? Unless I'm with someone who doesn't like to, I ALWAYS stay for the end credits. They're usually the best, right?!

Answer 13

i do!!!

Answer 14

Okay, how about this - tell me movie names that have the best film scores (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings, Transformers, etc.).

Answer 15

ok.... umm... sherlock holmes is my favorite and inception is #2

Answer 16

mine is The A-team i just love that movie

Answer 17

OH, I definitely agree with you!! My favorite song is "Discombobulate"! It scares me every time it gets to the loud part, though. :)

Answer 18

Oooo, that has really good music, too!

Answer 19

amazing bass

Answer 20

i like predators too

Answer 21

mirrors and mirrors2 is also awesome

Answer 22

I think one of THE most incredible mix of themes is the end credits for "At World's End" ! It's a little over 10 minutes long, and it combines EVERY theme from all of the previous films.

Answer 23

What are mirrors and mirrors 2? I don't believe I've heard of those.

Answer 25

Thanks!

Answer 26

np

Answer 27

and zombie land is really awesome

Answer 28

I've listened to one of the songs from "Tron Legacy," and I hear the rest of the songs are really good. Do you know anything about it?

Answer 29

i hate that movie tron legacy ... sorry

Answer 30

Oh, I don't think it looks that good, either. I haven't seen it, but I probably never will. I'm not too into superhero films, or the Sci-Fi genre.

Answer 31

Why is it so bad? Was the acting poor, the storyline not very engaging, etc.?

Answer 32

its all sci-fi based movie story is also not good...

Answer 33

Ahh, I completely understand!

Answer 34

have u ever seen nightmare on elm street ???

Answer 35

There's just something so unrealistic about the Sci-Fi genre. I've almost always found it impossible to relate to those types of movies/books.

Answer 36

No, I haven't, but I don't think I want to. I saw the front cover of the film, and I listened to some of the songs. They were really weird! It did not leave me with a very good impression.

Answer 37

story of scary movies are all not realistic but some of us like to watch them.... like me

Answer 38

Ha, ha - yes, I understand. I think the type of movie you watch mostly depends upon your personality. Some people like the same films that others detest.

Answer 39

i mostly watch action and scary movies

Answer 40

Sounds like a few people I know. :)

Answer 41

I do enjoy most action films, though.
