Lots of Williams (nice to see Schindler's List so high on the list), but after seeing Badelt's POTC in the top 10 I kind of lost interest...

Indeed, that inclusion wipes clean all possible discussion about the quality of the scores present

It's a policy you apply to much of the discussion here so why break the habit of a lifetime.

Number 1 is great but there is a lot of questionable rankings in this list. The Dark Knight is placed above Psycho and To Kill A Mockingbird... And POTC placed over so many classics. This really looks like a list made by one soundtrack fan alone, and someone who particularly enjoys Zimmer. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But as much as I enjoy Gladiator, I would never put it above Schindler's List or Star Wars.

1) They're ranking original scores against Mozart and Strauss. I've never been a fan of doing that.

2) I didn't see anything from Franz Waxman, Jerry Goldsmith, Dimitri Tiomkin, Henry Mancini, Alex North, Alfred Newman, and so on. Surely one of their best scores could have replaced a few of those mediocre Zimmer efforts.

3) The ranking is debatable given some of the scores that only just made it.
