[GerateWohl]

Here I have to admit, that John Williams is my absolute top favourite. From all other composers in my top 10 I like aproximately 30% of their work. And their ranking results from how much I like their great 30%.
And of course the list is just a momentary picture.
And main criterion for me is how much I like their music. How well it works in which movie is secondary for me.

1. John Williams
2. Miklós Rózsa
3. Jerry Goldsmith
