mrbellamy 6,286 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The Collaborations/Overlaps tool on IMDb is handy for this: http://www.imdb.com/search/commonLooks like Stallone/Conti also had a film called Avenging Angelo in 2002, in additions to the ones you mentioned.Maggie Smith is one that comes to mind for Williams...three Potters and Hook.Morricone and Clint Eastwood of course.

Omen II 1,235 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 There are loads of examples from Hollywood's golden age when the studio systems were in place. Errol Flynn, for example, was supported musically by Max Steiner in numerous films, but most famously benefited from Erich Wolfgang Korngold scores in:Captain BloodAnother DawnThe Prince and the PauperThe Private Lives of Elizabeth and EssexThe Adventures of Robin HoodThe Sea HawkEscape Me Never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,353 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well, Johnny Depp is on the list because he works with Tim Burton alot, and Elfman scores all his films.Harrison Ford is on the list due to 5 Spielberg films, who always works with Williams.Same with Caine / Zimmer - they are all Nolan films.Stallone and Conti, however, is "pure".
