Your Favorite Director/Composer Duos

[Daverisimo]

Note that I'm not asking about your favorite film composers. I'm taking about directors and composers with long-standing creative relationships, to the point where the music is essentially part of the director's style. Think Steven Spielberg and John Williams, or Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone.

For me, I have to go with Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi.







As much as I love Miyazaki's films, they wouldn't be half of what they are without Hisaishi's scores. Howl's Moving Castle is probably my favorite, but he doesn't have any bad ones imo.

Adding on to who you have already mentioned. Badalamenti and Lynch together are phenomenal.
John Carpenter and John Carpenter, now how those two rascals get along I will never know.
Ron Fricke and Michael Stearns.

Werner Herzog and Florian Fricke always seemed to go well together.

 

[Other]

Darren Aronofsky / Clint Mansell

Tim Burton with Danny Elfman. Their quirkiness compliments each other.
