M Actually I'm a big fan of Yareds - Never heard Possesion though. I really love his scores from The English Patient, Talented Mr. Riply, and what he almost scored for Troy - in fact his Troy score is one of the best scores in a long, long time. I'm sure it would have taken an oscar! Hmmm... 3 favorite scores? Thats really tough. - Shindlers List - Conan the Barbarian - A Beautiful Mind Atleast those are the ones I'm thinking of now.

- E.T. by John Williams

Speaking of Gabriel Yared, is the rejected Troy score available for purchase? I heard that music too (when it was on his website) and think that it could very well be his best work.
There was a rumor it would be released somehow so here's hoping...
Clark
And another of my faves: Signs from JNH

And another of my faves: Signs from JNH I did never find out where to get the troy music by Yared. I was told that it is very authentical (unlike the film  he even recorded bulgarian choirs for it ...). My favorites are (besides Yared  ): Russia House /Jerry Goldsmith Malena /Ennio Morricone 7 years in Tibet /John Williams /Maya - Vienna Symphonic Library

I'm glad to see someone else who holds 'Seven Years In Tibet' in high regard. It was such a mediocre movie. But I love the score - especially the melody of that main theme!

Maya are you familiar with his movie scores?
The Ninth Gate
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Death And The Maiden
The Pianist
Dracula and Ninth Gate are awesome.

You people are only listing current film composers. They are not the greatest. Though I don't know this Yared cat. So I defer to your statements there, Maya. BTW Does everybody here know only current composers? I'm sorry to ask these difficult questions. Very sorry. And I was trying so hard to be nice. As everyone here knows by now, I always try to be nice.

Pride and Predujice. If a score is judged solely on its impact to the film - this has my utmost respect!!!
Rob Which of the dozen or so versions and who was the composer? - just curious.
