Poll: Thomas Newman's Best Scores

A poll by waspinatorbj
We have now had polls rating the best musical scores on film by composers John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and James Horner. In continuing this study of modern composers, let's examine Thomas Newman.

Newman has been composing for over 30 years and has over 100 credits and 12 Oscar nominations, yet tragically no Oscar wins.

This is a list of films that Thomas Newman composed the score for. Selection is taken from his awards-nominated work, his highest grossing films, and his otherwise highly regarded scores.

From this list, which film has your favorite Newman musical score?
