After Steven Spielberg screened Schindler's List (1993) for John Williams to compose the score, Williams was so moved he had to walk outside for several minutes. Upon returning Williams said that the movie needed a better composer than him to which Spielberg replied "I know, but they're all dead."

Was watching Back to the Future today and said to myself that the music weirdly sounds like Predator. Sure enough this composer Alan Silvestri has done a lot of major stuff including Speilberg produced projects.
