Let's talk movie soundtracks

It's Watercooler Wednesday! Join the discussion!
Who writes your favorite musical score in movies today? There is one person that rises to the top for me...Hans Zimmer. My all-time favorite movie soundtrack? Gladiator...no question. Gladiator is one of the Number 1 selling movie soundtracks of ALL time. Hans Zimmer is different than most composers , like a Howard Shore or a John Williams...he is very closed off to performing his music in public and very rarely if ever does he conduct. His background is Rock and Roll (which is why I love him, I'm sure). "I like working in a collaborative way," he says. "I'm not very
ego-driven about being 'The Composer.' Whoever brings in great ideas
should be welcomed."
