I suppose there is slim chance Mancina is coming back to score Twisters? Twister is probably my favorite Mancina score, neck and neck with Tarzan.

superultramegaa,
Good examples, but – as much as I love them – they're just not the same as Twister and say, Jumanji. Hell, put Braveheart in there as well. Fact is, the 90's were an AMAZING decade for adventurous, melodic, exciting, beautiful scores. Scores that "lift you up". The only recent ones that can come close, IMO, are the Hobbit scores.
The recent MV/RC scores you mentioned are solid, but they're nowhere near Twister. With Twister, there's just more meat to the bones. The music fills you up. It's very hard to explain with words. And it's something that rarely happens nowadays, at least from my perspective. Most similar modern scores just feel……emptier. And yes, I talk mainly about mainstream big Hollywood scores. I think Zimmer's Inception was the point where things kinda changed. Sound design, crazy electronics and VROOOOOOOM, BROOOOOOOM play too much of a part nowadays. You rarely get something truly melodic. A real theme. Jablosnky gets really close, Powell gets really close, but still……a lot of it feels too artificial.
Yes, I get it – things change and we can't be stuck with the 90's scores forever, but I don't think things got better with film music. It's really sad actually – Horner (one of the great melodic composers) left us way too soon, Mancina is pretty much gone from mainstream Hollywood, Rabin rarely scores……It's like most of the great "melodic composers" are gone. It's really sad.
