Actually when I was in elementary school I loved the music I heard in Planet of the Apes, Logan's Run and Capricorn One (and was terrified of the music in The Omen), but I had no idea who Jerry Goldsmith was.
I was knocked-over when I eventually learned they were all composed by the Star Trek guy!
Slightly related -- as a kid, one day when I was finished watching Lost in Space, I noticed in the end credits that the music was by "Johnny Williams". I laughed and thought "Wow, that guy has the same name as the real John Williams!"

I'm of the generation that grew up with the George Reeves Superman series. There was one piece of music which stood out and thrilled me on the few recurring occasions when the show used it in one of their action sequences. Years later, as a very young man who had by then come to know and love Miklos Rozsa's film scores, when I stumbled upon my first LP of the composer's concert music, I was delighted and thrilled to discover that that passage I'd always loved on THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN was in fact the 7th variation from Theme, Variations and Finale, Op. 13.

I was obsessed with Ratchet & Clank music as a kid before I ever thought to look up this David Bergeaud chap.

Thomas Bergersen is a recent discovery for me. I'm not a fan, in general, of the Two Steps from Hell corpus, but Bergersen has written some beautiful orchestral works that are in a more classical/traditional vein that I love. Some of these cues are production library music put out by ScoreHelper, including "The Hidden Rainforest," "Serene Savanna," "Passage to Greatness," "Exaltation," "Award Ceremony," and "Maybe Next Time." I'm also a fan of his album "Heaven Anthology" which has a number of perky and heroic orchestral cues that really surprised me, and the cue "Spirit of Moravia" from the Two Steps From Hell album Classics vol. 1.
