#6 Alfred Newman (1900-1970)
The uncle of composer Randy Newman, Alfred Newman's scores appeared in dozens of films including The Robe, How the West Was Won, How Green Was My Valley, The Mark of Zorro, The King and I, My Friend Flicka, and others. Until John Williams beat his record, Newman had obtained the most Oscar nominations for any film composer.

Giacchino has gotten to contribute scores to some of the most popular film franchises of all time. The list of films he has scored includes Land of the Lost, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Star Trek: Beyond, Inside Out, Jurassic World, Doctor Strange, Rogue One, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and more.
I like How the West Was Won.
