The Lost Boys, Pulp fiction, Kill Bill, The Wedding Singer, Donnie Darko, Trainspotting and I hate to say it but when I was a kid I loved the Grease soundtrack.

Okay, you babes of jazz. Let's pick up the pace. Let's make the parties longer. Let's make the skirts shorter. Let's all go to hell in a fast car and KEEP IT HOT!
Anything by Jerry Goldsmith (Star Trek:First Contact, several Star Trek themes actually; The Mummy, Air Force One etc.). Anything by Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Pearl Harbor, The Last Samurai etc.).
I used to like James Horner and John Williams, but lost too much respect for their work when I can tell right off the bat who the composer is when the movie starts. And with both of them I can usually tell within one minute it's their work.
List of most favorites: Gladiator Star Trek:Nemesis Star Trek:First Contact Star Trek:Insurrection Pearl Harbor The Last Samurai Troy(even if it is James Horner's work)
I'm not sure I'd agree with Arwen28. Is it necessarily always a bad thing when a composer's work is instantly recognisable? Danny Elfman, Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, Angelo Badalamenti... all of them produce great scores which are always recognisably their work.
I'm not saying it is necessarily a bad thing when a composer's work is recognisable. To be honest I can tell any music composed by Horner, Williams, Goldsmith or Zimmer very easily. I guess I just got tired of hearing bits of music from Titanic in anything Horner composed afterwards. Or hearing bits of Star Wars in anything Williams composed afterwards. If I hear a bit of music in one movie that I've heard in another I just think it lacks originality, that's all. But that is just my opinion.
