Zimmer produces some great coloring but I find his music lazy and directionless. Williams was just a talented plagiarist.

Williams was just a talented plagiarist. It's not unusual for composers to be inspired by other composers, and even quote from them. Yes, I know about the E.T. theme and Dvorak's Dumky Trio. So, what? In his 15th Symphony, Shostakovich quotes both Rossini and Wagner.

By the standard of originality and cohesion, I'd have to vote for Ennio Morricone.
