Anyone and everyone is up for grabs here! Composers included!

Just for note's sake: the notable compositions list basically consists of every film score he wrote that was nominated for an Oscar, as well as a few other ones like his Olympics scores and some TV scores as well. Probably best to apply this same standard to all other film score composers as well.
