the Long Good Friday (1980); Francis Monkman, who did only one other movie, the Innocent (1985)

One False Move (1992); Peter Haycock & Derek Holt, each of whom did only one other movie

These are both noir, a film style that seems to leave almost all the colour in the soundtrack.

No contest....
Seeing as Lucas believe Star Wars is one long movie I am treating it as such but the breakdown for your knowledge is as follows....
Star Wars: A New Hope (Ep III)
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
John Williams
two songs make these the KING OF THE HILL
20th Centery Fox Fanfare
Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)
nuff said...

John Williams did not compose the 20th Century Fox Fanfare. That was composed by Alfred Newman in the 1930s. Williams did compose the main Star Wars Fanfare, as well as all other music in the Star Wars films, except for the "Jedi Rocks" thing in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi.

Alfred Newman, in case you are wondering, is the father of David Newman, who is, of course, composing the score for "Serenity."

Shiny!

YT, love your list; now I want to rent them.

I knew Hans Zimmer was prolific and did two awesome soundtracks, Toys and Backdraft. But I just checked IMDB, and holy cow, did he do a LOT of stuff!

I have a huge soundtrack collection. It's like 80-90% of my CDs & tapes ('cause I've been collecting since the 80s, and I'm not gonna spend money on an album that I already bought once).

DragonHeart, by Randy Edelman.
Escaflowne: Over The Sky, by Yoko Kanno.
BtVS: Once More With Feeling, by Joss Whedon.
The Muppet Show: 25th Anniversary Collection, by various.
Earth Final Conflict, by Mickey Erbe & Maribeth Solomon.
(Lousy show, great music.)

Soundtracks I'd most like to get, but can't 'cause Canada is in a cultural vacuum:
InuYasha, .hack//sign, Gundam Wing, Appleseed (the new one).

Favourite individual tracks from non-favourite soundtracks:
John Williams' "Raiders March" (from Raiders of the Lost Ark.)
Jerry Goldsmith's "Remus" (from Star Trek Nemesis).
James Horner's "The Machine Age" (from Bicentennial Man).
Dennis McCarthy's soft-rock single version of the "Deep Space Nine" theme (from DS9, natch).
Alex Lifeson's "March of the High Guard" (from Andromeda, as the S1 theme [a.k.a., "the march of 1,000 electric guitars"]).
Dunno who wrote it, but "No Good Deed" (from Wicked).

Didn't Tangerine Dream do the soundtrack to Legend (the good one)? LOVE that movie.

Hrm . . .wierd as it may be, I loved The Nighmare Before Christmas. It was directed by Tim Burton, and the soundtrack was by Danny Elfman. I love that combo . . .anything that is created by those two rock. Can't wait for Willy Wonka.

Hi folks - I got your soundtracks right here! Most of the ones mentioned above by the biggies (Elfman, Willams, Mancini, Howard, Shore, Goldsmith) and some not so biggie but real good (Klaus Badelt - did Pirates and Time Machine, which is one of my favorite, most underrated scores). Bernard Herrman of Pyscho fame doing Mysterious Island. The 20th Century fanfare? It's in there!
And even better (I feel like a used car salesman... sheesh!) even better, 200 songs intercut with 75 Firefly lines of dialogue, "I can kill you with my brain..." and many others. I've also added many scores from some popular scifi tv, like Andromeda, SG-1, Earth Above and Below, and the latest Galactica. Where? Here:
