    Crikey, tough one! Almost as difficult as the Father Damo question to Dougal - "Oasis or Bloor?" ;)

    I have to say John Williams, though.

    John Williams. It might have been different if you'd said John Williams v Tony Hatch.

    Far too obscure for me. If you had said Mark Linkous or Daniel Johnston, I might have had a clue. But even then I'd have them in an enclosed space, naked with sharpened sticks - fighting to the death to decide who is best and whether it really matters...?

    My favourite modern composer for films is - by a million zillion miles - Rachel Portman. Has done loads but my favourite piece has to be the outro to the movie Ratcatcher (my 2nd favourite film of all time) and Withnail & I. Also the smashing little film - Life Is Sweet by Mike leigh has a great soundtrack by Rachel, very well trained but quirky and original. :)

    Seriously, who is Hans Zimmer? Has to be John Williams by a long, long, long, way for me.

    Hans Zimmer's scores consist of The Batman trilogy, true romance, Inception.
