1. The Peacemaker

2. Broken Arrow

3. The Rock

4. Crimson Tide

5. King Arthur

I guess you don't like his small, eclectic scores, right? Only the simplistic big noisy stuff?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,070]

I can't believe how seriously underrated The Prince of Egypt is.

Maybe it has to do with the 20 albums floating around creating confusion. But (one of) the complete score that is nothing but score, is marvelous. Most beautiful music out of a cartoon in my humble opinion.

[Delorean90 42]

I need to hear more, but from what I've heard of Zimmer, The Lion King and The Prince of Egypt are my favorites of his. Good stuff.

[Neimoidian 14]

Still, Zimmer's input is mainly in the underscore (quite good one though), but not in the songs (in "Lion King" they were written by Elton John, I don't know whether Zimmer arranged them, and these from "Prince..." were written by Stephen Schwarz and - from what I heard - arranged by Powell).

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Okay, here are the final Top 5, voting is closed:

1. The Lion King

2. Gladiator

3. The Da Vinci Code

4. Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End

5. Spanglish

I wish we had more votes, this Top 5 isn't very representative of his best work, IMO.

[indy4 155]

my top three made it.

[AI 0]

Closing the vote be damned!

1. Crimson Tide

2. Days of Thunder

3. Black Rain

4. Rain man

5. Thelma and Louise

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Haha, I'm sorry, but this post has been up for a week. Also, right off the top of my head, I know you're the only one who has mentioned Thelma & Louise, Days Of Thunder, and Black Rain, and the second to mention Rain Man. Seems nobody has even heard the early Zimmer years, we are some of the few.

[King Mark 3,631]

I didn't vote

[AI 0]

Zimmers early stuff is really good. I have said this before. I like that rock edge.

Twister (1989) btw, Is Mark Mancina.

[Elmo Lewis 6]

Twister is from 1996.

Twister from 1989 was scored by Zimmer.

[AI 0]

woopsie daisy.

aha, I just said woopsie daisy! how bizzarre

Elmo is right, sorry. carry on...

[Olivier 5]

It's pleasantly surprising to see Spanglish mentionned several times; I love it, it's a great little score; the "little" (quieter) scores of his that I have are very good.

[Neimoidian 14]

I am not a of Days of Thunder but I like Rain Man very much, even though it's not in my Top 5 (it would find it's place in my Top 10). From Thelma and Louise I only know the "Thunderbird" cue (not the original recording, though, but the "Wings ofthe Film" one), which I love.

You need to say , are we the only ones?

Then you, and me, you, me, we become like blood brothers.

[Richard Penna 3,770]

1. Gladiator

2. PotC: At World's End

3. The Thin Red Line

4. Beyond Rangoon

[Red 75]

Have one of these been done for JW yet?

[indy4 155]

Maybe JW's will be the finale.

[gkgyver 1,646]

1- 5. Da Vinci Code

It's easier to list Flop 5:

1. King Arthur

2. Pearl Harbour

3. Dead Man's Chest

4. Batman Begins

5. Gladiator

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Maybe JW's will be the finale.

Maybe...

[Neimoidian 14]

Maybe JW's will be the finale.

Maybe...

Music from the Movies has listed 1444 composers. Are you going to do all of them before ending up with JW?

[JoeinAR 1,949]

My top 5 Zimmer scores are

wait do I even own any zimmer?

thats right I don't, I'd rather collect dog poop out of the back yard than own zimmer's stuff.

[Neimoidian 14]

My top 5 Zimmer scores are

wait do I even own any zimmer?

thats right I don't, I'd rather collect dog poop out of the back yard than own zimmer's stuff.

I'm sure we can do another poll - Top Five: Dog Poop or any Hans Zimmer's score...
