Find me a Film Composer Better Than John Williams
Seriously. The only people who even come close are James Newton Howard and maybe James Horner IMO.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSuf5uzcbK8]While I'm probably as massive a JP fanboy as you can get, it doesn't change the fact that this is among one of William's best.[/url] It's my favorite track from a movie of all time. While I thought I had everything about the movie burnt into my head after watching it 20498230948230948023948203980 times, I only recently listened to the track in its full HD glory, and my god, I was blown away.
It's like the moment of complete release the [i]entire[/i] soundtrack has been building up to, and in those euphoric final seconds that culminate in a ridiculously awesome larger than life brass section, it satisfies all of that. While a lot of people may think of John Williams as that guy with the bombastic and catchy tunes, when you truly listen in on his works, especially with something like Jurassic Park, there's just a massive amount of depth to it unmatched by pretty much any other composer out there.

So Flood, find me a better composer than John Williams.
Oh yeah, forgot about Akira Ifukube. Though I still greatly prefer Williams.

I find most film composers intensely boring, as they all sound so derivative and not inventive enough. Danny Elfman was always excellent, and pushed the boundaries just enough to give himself a more unique edge. Video game composer are always much more talented than film composers, though. And no, Marty isn't that good of a composer. But I always loved soundtracks that carry some sort of individuality, which is why I like the soundtrack to the Godfather, and why I think everyone likes the Star Wars soundtrack. But anyway, John Williams is certainly on the more impressive side of the scale, but still nothing amazing.

John Murphy's great. I really like his Adagio in Dm for Sunshine.
-
Danny Elfman and Nino Rota. Nino is a older composer though. The Godfather 1&2 was his best work.
