I'm still digging the recent release of Rain Man and to a lesser extent Thelma & Louise though it has it's moments. I'm familiar with Zimmers action adventure scores, can you suggest scores he's done for smaller films, probably in the drama/romance genre?
From that time period you've got some hidden gems like The Power of One and A World Apart (the score that turned Levinson onto Zimmer in the first place). The House of the Spirits also seems to be quite well regarded, though honestly I'm not as familiar with that one. Perhaps I should be.
