    From the list, Bernard Herrman, but my favourite would be John Carpenter. Those all keyboard soundtracks are quite interesting and work pretty good on his movies, wich he also writte, direct, produce, perfomrs the gathering, sweeps, built the studio...

From the list you supplied, I'd have to go for Horner, but you forgot Basil Poledouris! He's the guy that did the music for Conan the Barbarian. Cr@p film – great music!

nice thread, the poll should have been bettered. i think herrmann is the best, just check this amazing list - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002136/ -, but i voted my preferate - jerry goldsmith, because of his score for Ridley Scott's Alien, which is my alltime favourite score. i also think mr. Scott is the recent director with the best usage of film music - he had Vanghelis for Blade Runner (...........) and 1492, and Hans Zimmer for Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Thelma and Louise,  Matchstick Men and Hannibal.
 
i'm glad nino rotta and eric serra were also mentioned.

I am beginning to hate John Williams. His stuff is so repetitive and similar.
