I love you too, darlin..
You're right, Hans Zimmer does compose movie scores. I'm not a big fan of the movies, although I do like a real good one... Zimmer's class shines through. He produced the score to Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.
If you are interested, I posted this in another thread but a fine example of his work is available online.

2Pac's work is amazing, the guy is a legend. He was a fantastic storyteller; and unlike most wannabee bad boy rappers today he lived the life of one. Most rap today is crap, but 2Pac set a standard that nobody has ever matched, nor ever will. They may try; but he introduced it, so it has all been done. Some of his greatest tunes, Dear Mama, Hit em up, Thug Passion, Changes, the list goes on. I introduced my mother to this music; at first, like most people, she discarded it as she is in the 'older generation' . However, when music is involved, you cannot be bias as regards race, age or gender. So many people fall into this trap. When you open your mind, you can enjoy all music. It is for this reason that I now catch her playing it at high volume !
Fatboy Slim is an amazingly gifted person. Like most forms of art, it is ugly to most, but great to some. Gangsta trippin is his greatest creation !
Don Henley, Boys of Summer another fantastic track.
I could name so many more ; old and new. I can't live without music, to me its one of the most important things in this world, ahead of sex. Indeed.
