Ow! But, at least it was a heroic soundtrack by which to suffer such an injury. ---

Another vote for Hans Zimmer, I really enjoyed his work on Hannibal as well. ---

I also grew up with John Williams and Ennio Morricone. Looking over [Basil Poledouris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Poledouris) career, he scored a lot of my favorite movies. I don’t remember the music for most of them, but he did excellent work on _Conan the Barbarian_ and _The Hunt for Red October_. For Conan, I listen to the CD more often than I watch the movie.
