Danny Elfman is the red haired Devil of Hollywood. He's the guy that could convert any lame, standard movie into an extraordinary, thrilling, stirring experience for the watcher.

He made the score of such great films as Batman, Men in Black, Spider-Man, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

And who doesn't remember the main themes of Mission: Impossible, The Simpsons or Desperate Housewives? His compositions are fast, intoxicating and you will whistle them even two weeks after you heard them the first time.

To me, he is simply THE composer of this century. I don't think there will be anyone within the next 100 years who is as talented as Danny Elfman.
