Frankly, these are two of my favourite movie sound tracks of the last 30-40 years. Maybe it's because I know where Hans Zimmer, John Williams and Howard Shore steal from, and I'm not as familiar with the "literature" of electronic music, but I feel like there's a level of individuality and creativity, and of mood-setting that just doesn't come across in a lot of the sweeping orchestral sounds that have become stereotypical of film scores as of late. There's definitely something to be said of the film music of an older time, however. In my opinion, it saved classical music from itself. Props also to Nino Rota, who not only wrote some amazing film music but also the best piece for Bass and orchestra ever written.
