	actually, while Philip Glass was in the cast of The Truman Show, performing a song he had written, he did not compose the score for it. The score is credited to Burkhard von Dallwitz

Comment below threshold: show it

	what an awesome idea for a quiz! Thank you so much

	Awesome. Some of the movie choices are a little strange, though. Like "Frost/Nixon" for Hans Zimmer. "The Lion King" would make a lot more sense there. But I'm not going to complain too much. You did a nice job here.

	Or the Prince of Egpyt

	Hey, everybody on Limewire. John Williams did not score everything. Stop attributing him to everything. All these guys deserve major credit. Especially The Right Stuff's composer, as it is probably the most underrated film score. Thank you.

	I'm surprised Michael Kamen isn't in here.

	Requiem for a dream score ftw.

	Rackie:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 09:21 GMT		-3 points
	No George Bruns - he's the only Disney composer I know XD

	EgoTrippin:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 10:31 GMT		0 points
	Hmm... Basil Poledouris would certainly deserve to be on this list. He did lots of great scores.

	shel99:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 11:06 GMT		5 points
	Very cool. How about a quiz of all of John Williams' scores?

	Reder:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT		7 points
	A film composer quiz without Bernard Herman? Shame!

	gopaladins:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 13:17 GMT		1 point
	james horner did "glory" also. best score, in my opinion.

	chrispaz:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 13:20 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz. I would like to have seen Morricone on here also (The Untouchables is amazing), but there are plenty left for a sequel....

	SentioVenia:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 13:53 GMT		3 points
	Randy N's cousin Thomas is my favorite: The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Little Women, Road to Perdition, Finding Nemo, etc.

	Cuthbert_Twilley:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 15:16 GMT		0 points
	No Dmitri Tiomkin? High Noon, yo.

	Kicking222:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 15:51 GMT		0 points
	What, no RZA? (Not an actual criticism, though "Kill Bill" is awesome.)

	Milk_and_Cheese:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 15:59 GMT		3 points
	No Ennio Morricone or Angelo Badalamenti?! For shame...

	Beldasnoop:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 16:04 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz. It's a bit of a shame more people didn't get Gone With the Wind's composer. He was truly one of the greats and paved the way for a lot of these other guys.

	ruffnerj:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 16:18 GMT		8 points
	Need some Michael Giacchino (Incredibles, Ratatouille), Tom Newman, Morricone for sure, Hermann, and the Coens' main man, Carter Burwell. Great quiz nonetheless.

	jessbowen:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 16:20 GMT		1 point
	Wow, hard quiz. Patrick Doyle's score of Henry V is brilliant - I'm not sure how well known he is for other stuff.

	RobH:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT		0 points
	@shel99. Not all of them, but here's a quiz you might like: http://www.sporcle.com/games/johnwilliamsoscarnoms.php

	Dorak:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 21:37 GMT		3 points
	Definitely need another one, all credit to Tiomkin and Herrmann. And my under-represented favorite: Maurice Jarre (Dr. Zhivago).

	loki1983:	Mar 26th, 2009 at 02:19 GMT		4 points
	Nice quiz, but needs some more greats included (listed above). Also, the title of this quiz is bizarre: since when are the SCORES to "Frost/Nixon", "Nell" and 2005's "King Kong" FAMOUS???

	the piano not on here? and nothing by gabriel yared

	MissInformed:	Mar 27th, 2009 at 18:18 GMT		7 points
	Another shout for Ennio Morricone, and also Michael Nyman.

	buppyspek:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 16:23 GMT		2 points
	IMO, Michael Kamen wrote the best movie theme: main title to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

	debondair:	Oct 29th, 2009 at 23:40 GMT		1 point
	Horner should be noted for Pelican Brief and A Beautiful Mind.

	EgoTrippin: Agreed. Hunt for Red October alone puts him on this list, and the unabashedly, self-mocking work he did for Starship Troopers (mirroring the absurdity of the movie) was solid.
