Here's what wiki has to say (not necessary contradicting what you said)

The film was shot in Northern Wellington over the course of four years, and eventually received nearly a quarter of a million dollars in New Zealand Film Commission assistance, providing Jackson with the leverage necessary to ...

Guess I can see it beating his current #9-10 entries.

Sure it is.

Well, as far as film scores go, Stephen Schwartz primarily served as a lyricist so I don't think he is a must have for this list. From wiki:

Film
Butterflies Are Free (1969) – title song (play and movie)
Godspell (1973) – composer, lyricist
Pocahontas (1995) – lyricist
The Hunchback of Notre Dame ...

So #37 for Vangelis? I wouldn't mind that.

I was thinking he wins acclaim with his stronger award resume but the disparity pretty easily can be explained by Rota being primarily non-Hollywood composer.

I am not dogmatically opposed to having either Vangelis or Basil Poledouris higher but I'd prefer some concrete names you guys see them beating by criteria (influence, acclaim, body of work).

Outside of his The Godfather fame, Nino Rota is highly regarded for his collaborations with Fellini ...

Suggestion for a new spot? I can see him at #40 but not much higher than that as of now.

Checked it on the old forum, you appeared to agree with Sherick's suggestion to raise him just below Danny Elfman. ManPerson agreed as well.

Criteria: influence, achievements, strength of era

1. Ronnie O'Sullivan (England; 1975)
2. Stephen Hendry (Scotland; 1969)
3. Joe Davis (England; 1901–1978)
4. Steve Davis (England; 1957)
5. Ray Reardon (Wales; 1932–2024)
6. John Higgins (Scotland; 1975)
7. Mark Selby (England; 1983)
8. Mark ...

Checked my notes, this is how my top 200 plus the honorable mentions stands.

1. John Williams (Star Wars)
2. Max Steiner (Gone with the Wind)
3. Ennio Morricone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
4. Alfred Newman (How the West Was Won)
5. Jerry Goldsmith (Chinatown)
6. Bernard Herrmann (Psycho)
7 ...

Think Bill Russell would have seen more of a Wilt's career than just "the tail-end of his career".

Think this breakdown slightly favors Gentlemen Prefer Blondes even though Sergeant York is ranked higher on the 1940s list (#65) than Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on the 1950s list (#87).

Sorry I forgot about that discourse, paul.

So if we go through Dubrow's change.

1986 (update)
1. Blue Velvet - David Lynch
2. Aliens - James Cameron
3. Platoon - Oliver Stone
4. Stand by Me - Rob Reiner
5. Ferris Bueller's Day Off - John Hughes
6. The Fly - David Cronenberg
7. Hannah and Her Sisters - Woody Allen
8. The Sacrifice - Andrei ...
