In continuing my musings about how music can shape films and really enhance scenes within movies, I decided to conduct a poll concerning the question, "Which composer has composed the most memorable musical scores for movies?" By giving the choices:
-Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Da Vinci Code, Sherlock Holmes, The Last Samurai, Kung fu Panda, The Dark Knight)
-James Horner (Titanic, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Glory, The Mask of Zorro, Enemy at the Gates, Star Trek (II & III) A Beautiful Mind, The Perfect Storm, House of Sand and Fog, Avatar)
-John Williams (Fiddler on the Roof, Jaws, The Patriot, Star Wars, Superman, Home Alone, Harry Potter (first 3), Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, E.T., Catch me if you can, Memoirs of a Geisha, Munich)
-Alexandre Desplat (Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Painted Veil, The Queen, The Beat that My Heart Skipped, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fantastic Mr. Fox)
-Michael Giacchino (Mission: Impossible III, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Star Trek, Up)
-Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea)

I was able to obtain the results of:
Hans Zimmer 28%
James Horner 25%
John Williams 23%
Alexandre Desplat 5%
Michael Giacchino 15%
Joe Hisaishi 4%
