This is part of a series.
- Here’s the last post ranking John Powell’s scores - https://www.filmtracks.com/scoreboard/forum.cgi?read=123204

The Hans rankings cover all scores that I’ve heard where he’s credited as the primary composer or co-composer, or where he wrote some notable material like a recurring theme.

I’m not covering anything where he’s only credited as a producer, or where he wrote a main title theme that didn’t factor into the episodic scoring, though there are some primarily “in name only” compositions listed below - stuff like Millennium, the Madagascar sequels, and Spongebob.

Don’t expect this to be comprehensive. There are some gaps thanks to works I skipped over in the early days of the rundown - Black Rain and Thelma & Louise most notably.
