@Brijesh,

I would suggest drop mentioning the 70th birthday, since it is a month past the date. He also collaborates with directors, not actors, on his film scores. Also, the tense needs to be changed for the Cornation ceremony to past tense. If it were my poll, I think I would add other options for The Emoji Movie (2017) and Artemis Fowl (2020) that better fit the acclaimed scope that you state the movies fall into.

FYC,

Patrick Doyle is a Scottish composer who has over 60 feature film composing credits over a career that has spanned the past fifty years. He has collaborated frequently with Kenneth Branagh, Robert Altman, Ang Lee, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, Brian De Palma and other renowned directors. Most recently, he was honored with the royal commission to compose the Coronation March for the King and the Queen Consort's ceremony that took place at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 2023. 

Which of these select acclaimed and popular film scores do you think is his best one?

@Brijesh​ I think it looks better and seems very timely with the cornation a couple days ago. I would guess he is semi-retired now, as I don't see any listed projects in the pipeline. So, a fitting send off, as a career retrospective, IMHO.

A difficult choice between Brave and Cinderella. In both cases I think the music was the best of the film.

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."
