Fun Fact: I used some royalty-free Saint Saens and some royalty-free Berlioz in a ripoff of Indiana Jones last year. Aquarium is so obviously Indiana Jones it hurts.

Here's my two favorites. I'm nowhere near as literate as you but I have my preferences.

I think that's one of the fun things about classical music - no one can know everything about it. As ignorant as you may or may not think you are, what you and I know are drops in the ocean in 500 years of music.

I love that.

I'm listening to the first link now. Diggin' it. thanks for the share.

Mark Isham is a crazy-ass scientologist but he's got some real skill. Thomas Newman I know less about, but more people know him for this thing than for less than zero:

By the way, were you aware that in Europe, Legend didn't have a Jerry Goldsmith score it had a Tangerine Dream score?

Changes the hell out of the movie.

I did know about the Tangerine Dream score. I think that as a standalone piece, the Jerry Goldsmith score is better, but in-movie, the Tangerine Dream score is a little less intrusive. It definitely has a creepier vibe, though. The Goblins in particular come off a lot more darkly comedic.
