...other than John Williams', who would it be?

My answer:

Jerry Goldsmith

i am just curious to know, whose composer other than Williams, you would be a die hard fan, so as to try to own not only his complete discography, but his complete filmography too, even if he has scored bad films or films you don't care for..

I kind of like it...the score helps to sell the whole grand guignol absurdity. And it sure is the work of a master composer.

Thumbs up from me.

Goldsmith is always singled out as supposedly having scored mostly bad movies. But people usually disregard the sheer number of films he worked on. True, he had his share of stinkers, higher than Williams, perhaps higher than the average composer (and still for the most part good scores, some even among his best). But he also has a considerable number of first rate films, especially in the 60s and 70s.

Danny Elfman and Elliot Goldenthal, probably. But every composer -- even my favourites -- have their fair share of duds too, so it would be limited to those I have a completist relationship to.

Beyond that, I want films on Bluray that are good FILMS. Well, first I need to get a Bluray player and a new TV, but that's a different question.
