Answer 2

Didn't Carter Burwell get his start with The Coen Brothers on "Blood Simple" and has scored all of their films? Graeme Revell also does some really nice "incidental" music on the Rock soundtrack for "S.F.W." ...and Hal Hartley both Directs & Scores his films -- mostly independant, but totally quirky ( see "Henry Fool" ) So many great soundtracks have "catchy" themes & Grandiose orchestrations. I am more attracted to compositions that have a quirky, odd nature about them -- sometimes a "spaciness"... sometimes iwth "tinkley" percussion. I like those composers who can combine this "quirkiness" with music where things seem "odd"... a subtle soundtrack that denotes that.... something is not quite "right" :) It's so interesting to hear these people and see the similarities in style, appear in all of this movies!! Other than that... my faves -- David Byrne -- The Last Emperor (1987) Mark Knopfler ( Dire Straits ) -- Local Hero (1983) // The Princess Bride (1987) Vangelis -- Chariots of Fire (1981) // Bladerunner (1982) // Year of Living Dangerously (w/ Maurice Jarre, 1983) Tangerine Dream -- Sorcerer (1977) // Thief (1981) // Risky Business (1983) // Wavelength (1983) // Firestarter (1984) // Legend (1985) // Three O'Clock High (1987) // Near Dark (1988) Maurice Jarre ( Father of Jean-Michel Jarre ) -- Ryan's Daughter (1970) // The Year of Living Dangerously (1983) // A Passage to India (1984) // Witness (1985) // The Mosquito Coast (1986) // Dead Poets Society (1989) // Ghost (1990) // Fearless (1993) Rachel Portman -- Life Is Sweet (1991) // Where Angels Fear to Tread (1991) // Benny & Joon (1993) // The Joy Luck Club (1993) // Sirens (1993) // The Road to Wellville (1994) // Emma (1996) // The Cider House Rules (1999) // Chocolat (2000) Richard Robbins -- The Bostonians (1984) // A Room with a View (1985) // Howards End (1992) // The Remains of the Day (1993) { my all=time fave soundtrack !! :} // The Golden Bowl (2000) Thomas Newman -- Men Don't Leave (1990) // The Rapture (1991) // Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) // Scent of a Woman (1992) // How to Make an American Quilt (1995) // American Beauty (1999) // Pay It Forward (2000) // Road to Perdition (2002) // Angels in America (2003) // Finding Nemo (2003) // Cinderella Man (2005) // Jarhead (2005) // Revolutionary Road (2008) Edit -- ...and Carter Burwell :) Blood Simple (1984) // Raising Arizona (1987) // Miller's Crossing (1990) // Barton Fink (1991) // Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) // Kalifornia (1993) // The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) // Rob Roy (1995) // Fargo (1996) // Conspiracy Theory (1997) // The Big Lebowski (1998) // Gods and Monsters (1998) // Mystery, Alaska (1999) // Three Kings (1999) // Being John Malkovich (1999) // Before Night Falls (2000) // Hamlet (2000) // A Knight's Tale (2001) // The Man Who Wasn't There (2002) // Adaptation.
