People do seem to still enjoy listening to Hans Zimmer style BWAAAAAAAAH stuff so maybe its not totally in decline.

  For that reason, I find that the Romantic composers (Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, et. al.) are a great segway, since their compositions are highly dynamic, powerful, and emotional.

  Time by Hans Zimmer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxabLA7UQ9k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxabLA7UQ9k Powerful stuff. Maybe Beethoven would've been a movie composer if he was alive in the modern era.

    Given that symphonies were something of mass entertainment at the time Beethoven was a movie composer, just without the moving pictures.

    Given that most classical composers also wrote operas, they pretty much were movie composers.
