If anybody doesn't know who these people are, they are film music composers, and, in my opinion, the best ones out there to date. My question is which one do you prefer and why? Go ahead, argue.

John Williams seems to be almost universally agreed upon as the best film music composer. I wonder how much of that is good music and how much is just popular support. Listening to his work, he is definitely one of the best, but I don't know if he is a solid THE best. A lot of his songs are only well-known because of their popularity, after all.
I haven't really heard Hanz Zimmer's work enough to judge that.

I haven't really heard Hanz Zimmer's work enough to judge that. He made the pirates of the carribean main theme, and some of Modern Warfare 2 music (which is really nice music IMO), Crysis 2 music, |

Both of them have strengths in different genre in my opinion, zimmar has good climaxing where as Williams is more of a all rounder but I am afraid that Handel, Bach, Chopin, Vaughan Williams and scoot Joplin are better. BTW by back, I mean j.s. Bach and c.p.e. Bach.

Yeah, they're better, but only in their distinct genres. Try getting Bach to do a film score. It just wouldn't work. Scott Joplin was more of a ragtime guy, anyway.

Hence why I said in my opinion, anyway you could, think of it as a kind of period movie.. Screw that, make it like the movie amedeus, te music is the composers, btw Mozart, overrated much? Good composer but too repetitive, his pieces are simple even for classical music, in sonata form the recapitulation basically is subject 1+2 and only fresh bit is the development, e.g. Mozart symphony no 40, 1st movement
Edit. In gminor anyway, Great Scott Joplin! Joplin could write music scores for movies, sorry if this is off topic. Anyway a movie based in Chopin would probablayy be a 18 for obvious reasons...(*cough* affairs e.t.c.)

Hm, Scott Joplin writing movie scores? Well, he kinda did. "The Sting". Got an Academy Award for it.
