I am a soundtrack geek. here we go:
Randy Edelman - Dragonheart definately a fun one, but I admit I haven't seen the movie.
Brian Tyler - Children of Dune Brilliant. Love the Thematics.
Hans Zimmer - The Rock, Crimson Tide - It's a pity his themes have been ripped for everything, like Pirates (which was an awesome soundtrack) and countless trailers and other lesser-known action movies.
Howard Shore - Lord of the Rings Trilogy though I'm not terribly impressed with most of his other work. Some, not most.
Philip Glass - The 'Qatsi' Series Incredible composer and musician. Nobody writes like he does (which is both good and bad)
John Williams - Jurrassic Park His best soundtrack, in my opinion. yes, I love Star Wars too, I just have a soft spot for that theme.
All the people involved in the musical arrangement and composition for Moulin Rouge (too many to mention) Best musical arrangement ever.
Nobuo Uematsu - Everything Another musical genius. Hasn't done a movie yet, but is scoring Advent Children coming later this year.
Don Davis - Matrix Again, very original. He did some fantastic things with the orchestra to get the perfect effects. Nice use of choral work too, but he can't compare on that plain with:
Danny Elfman - Nightmare, Batman and a load of other incredible scores. He is the amazing of amazings.
that's all I got for now... I'm sure I'm forgetting someone...but whatev

Whoever mentioned Klaus Badelt and The Time Machine-I forgot how fantastic that soundtrack was! I'm listening to scifiradio.net (it rocks by the way) and they just played godspeed . I got chills. I remember I wasn't all that impressed with the movie, but the music was great.
It's been added to my list of soundtracks to buy.

Hmmmm, no one has mentioned Ryosuke Takahashi. I love his soundtrack for Wild Palms (if anyone remembers that mini-series) and Wings of Honneamise.
Also the soundtrack for La Femme Nikita. Ithink it's by Serra(?).
SamuraiX47, you mentioned the MS Gundam soundtracks. Remember the ending for the third original MS Gundam movie when Amuro is floating towards the others? Gives me chills...

MORE Gladiator, Hans Zimmer - It's like an audio sketchbook, and has voicetracks from the movie. My nieces accused me of having the movie memorized because of the voice tracks.
Pirates, Klaus Badelt - Gotta love a soundtrack that starts with a cello. Actually, anything that starts with a cello.
Ladyhawke, Andrew Powell and Alan Parsons Project - I've seen that movie so much that just playing the cassettes had it replaying in my brain. I have the CD now, but strangely, it's not quite the same.
Willow, James Horner - AWESOME! SO need to get that on CD.
The Mask of Zorro, James Horner - enough said.
Phantom of the Opera, *duh* - Orignal more than the new, although the new has its merits too.
The Saint - Great techno anthology to boot - Moby, Bowie, Duran Duran, EBTG...
Dances with Wolves, John Barry - great travel music.
Gosh... I know there's more.

Wow I can't beleive this! LadyHawke was the 1st soundtrack I ever bought and I totally wore the tape out. And Willow cd was the 1st thing I ever bought online! I love the carnivale music thats played at the very end.
By the way I think that Willow mirrors the Lord of the Rings in sooo many ways and is in fact the supeior story.
