Too bad. I thought his soundtrack for Wrath of Khan was the best one of any Star Trek movie. Glory was another moving soundtrack.

“Field of Dreams” is one of my favourites. As an aside, a while back I looked at peoples’ comments about that movie on the IMDB site and was quite taken aback at some who made really rude remarks about it. I certainly do not expect a particular film to be everybody’s favourite, but some commenters struck me as needing a life in that instance.

What a shame. People often don't realized how important the music/scores affect the feel of a movie. Horner was a great composer along the lines of John Williams. Without their compositions, many movies would be boring no matter how great the direction, acting, story-line, cinematography. Music can make a mediocre movie better, but also make a good movie mundane.
Example: Texas Rising on HBO. Their music was right out of old TV westerns like Bonanza and the Big Valley. I stopped watching after the first episode. Even my wife commented, "What's with the old 60's 70's western music?"

Though some of his music was sometimes derivative, he did produce some score which really lifted their movies to another level. Besides Braveheart, I really liked his score for Glory. His sweeping music as the 54th readies itself for the assault on Battery Wagner is one of the most stirring moments in movies. RIP, Mr. Horner.

Very bad news. This guy was in the exclusive class with John Williams and Rachel Portman and perhaps 2 or 3 others. I already miss the great music that he will now never compose.

The crash site is a scattering of small parts. Looks like he went straight in.
