	I hate to be a jerk, but the quiz is basically invalid without the inclusion of Bernard Herrmann.

	Of all the films James Horner scored (Glory, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Titanic!) you picked The Land Before Time?!?! And for Howard Shore, the guy who scored the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy, you clue with Mrs Doubtfire? "Hook" for John Williams I won't complain about. It's a Spielberg film and Williams is Spielberg's go-to composer 95% of the time. Don't just rely on your personal DVD collection. If you like the score, go to IMDB and see what else the guy did. This is a great idea for a front page quiz, but you need to go for the more obvious films for these composers, not the obscure ones. You're dealing with an audience that may know these names, but not associate them with these movies. Better yet, list 2 or 3 credits for each composer! You can make this an instructional quiz as well as an interesting one. A good quiz makes the writer feel smarter. A great quiz makes the quiz-taker feel smarter.

	My all-time favorite film composer should be included: Michael Kamen. He did the music for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and I think that the main title theme is one of the best out there. I could listen to it every day.

	Good quiz. It would be nice to have a few more Nino Rota films listed too, like La Dolce Vita or 8 1/2

	Nice. A few more composers that I could imagine on a quiz like this: John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, Carter Burwell, Jon Brion, Alexandre Desplat, Philip Glass, Dave Grusin, Marvin Hamlisch, and Henry Mancini.

	Zimmer and Howard are co-credited on Batman Begins. Maybe the author should have used a different James Newton Howard score, say Waterworld.
