    Some people think his work is cheesy, but the guy has composed (Clint Mansell and John Williams notwithstanding) some of the best film music of the last 25 years, imo.

    He's definitely one of my favorites. His scores for the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and Inception are top notch imo.

    Zimmer's True Romance score is an homage to the Badlands theme; it's basically a variation of it. And the whole the Alabama/Patricia Arquette voice over scene (with the music playing in the background) is heavily influenced by the Sissy Spacek voice over in Badlands.
