I realized that I don't have more than 5. That's because I might not even be a film music fan, but just a big fan of John Williams, who happens to write music for film. A difference.
That said, I discovered Jerry Goldsmith too, but for me, he's FAR behind JW (still number 2, though).
For me:
1. John Williams
2. Jerry Goldsmith
3. James Horner
4. Henry Mancini
5. John Barry
