Some of mine are:
Yann Tiersen who wrote the score for Amelie and Goodbye, Lenin!.
Bernard Herrmann who scored Hitchcock's Pscyho, Vertigo, and North by Northwest. He scored 5 other Hitchcock films, as well as Scorcese's Taxi Driver and DePalma's Sisters and Obsession.
And, of course, Ennio Morricone who, among his almost 500 film scores, composed original music for all of Sergio Leone's "spaghetti" westerns (Fistful of Dollars, Few Dollars More, Good/Bad/Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West).

I've been real interested in Bernard Herrmann's stuff ever since last year when we played some of his stuff in marching band.
Howard Shore. I really like the LoTR soundtrack.
Joe Hisaishi who pretty much does the music for all the Miyazaki movies.
I really don't pay attention to film composers as much as I should but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment...

He's done Midnight Cowboy, Out of Africa, and a list of Bond movies - Goldfinger, Moonraker, The Man with the Golden Gun etc. And there's Dances with Wolves which I'm completely in love with. Like the soundtrack much more than the movie.
Like the stuff by Thomas Newman aswell, espcially Road to Perdition.

I also like Alessandro Cicognini (Ladri di biciclette), Fumio Hayasaka (Rashomon), Georges Delerue (Tirez sur le pianiste), Masaru Satô (Yojimbo), and Mihály Vig (several Tarr movies).

The only other score that I can think of right at this moment is Javier Navarrete's music for Pan's Labyrinth. (That is of course without delving into musicals. :P)

Also I like Hans Zimmer for Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Aside from the fact that the comment was off-topic and didn't add at all to the thread, Stomp is fracking amazing.
I believe the thread was about film composers anyway, not "musicals." Not that it matters since you don't even know or can't even trouble yourself to look up "who made it."
