Composers that created music for the purpose of being used in a film, either as a main occupation, on a regular basis, or for an important film.
Not included are those composers whose music was used for films, but was not specially written for that purpose.
It is sometimes hard to tell when to call a composer modern, as opposed to Romantic. In general you can say that the Moder Eara in music started around the year 1900. However, many composers continued to write pieces in a romantic fashion long after that.
