I'm not a fan of Max Steiner at all.

I'd go for:

Sub-Zero: Bernard Herrmann
1. Miklos Rozsa
2. Franz Waxman
3. Dimitri Tiomkin
4. Bronislau Kaper

And the next ones would be:

5. Alfred Newman
6. Erich Wolfgang Korngold
7. Hugo Friedhofer


And I nearly forgot: put Scott Bradley somewhere on that list. His work on the Tom & Jerry cartoons is nothing short of genius.

In no particular order:

Max Steiner
Alfred Newman
Miklos Rozsa
Bernard Herrmann
?

Here goes...

1. Alfred Newman
2. Franz Waxman
3. Miklos Rosza
4. Bernard Herrmann
5. Hugo Friedhofer

I just don't like Max Steiner. Sorry, his music just really fails to connect with me.

Back at ya later

1. Bernard Herrmann
2. Miklós Rózsa
3. Erich Wolfgang Korngold
4. Franz Waxman
5. Max Steiner

6. Alfred Newman
7. Hugo Friedhofer
8. Aaron Copland
9. Roy Webb [formerly listed: Jerome Moross]*
10. Victor Young [formerly listed: Alex North]*

Tough choices.

5-6 was difficult to choose. I like some Rozsa's works but especially during the 50's... his older noir films i quite dislike, altough I love Thief of Bagdad and those 2 cues I've heard from That Lady Hamilton...
Unfortunatelly I am not familiar enough with works of Copland or Friedhofer - i have heard few of his scores which I liked but to include him on the list of favorite, i think I'd need to know more...
