Best of 1993? What were the other notable scores that year?
Let's see...
The Joy Luck Club (Portman)
Much Ado About Nothing (Doyle)
Once Upon a Forest (Horner)
Warlock: The Armageddon (McKenzie)
Sommersby (Elfman)
Free Willy (Poleoduris)

I may be missing some... and of course, the two Williams scores and Kitaro I mentioned earlier.http://unsungfilmscores.blogspot.com/ -- My film/TV/game score review blog -

- Sommersby (Elfman)
- Demolition Man (Goldenthal)

I think we like to make out there's a 'best' score in a given year, but I tend to find there's always a handful that show their composers on top form, and the above list is pretty good. I'd find it hard to resist praising Zbigniew Preisner though, who had Secret Garden and Trois Coleurs: Bleu (one of the greatest of all films and film scores).
Purely as a listen on album I'd pick Sakamoto's extraordinary Little Buddha above all else that year!
Trois Coleurs Bleu is also great!

Because the first thing I wanted to writte was " I love him (Powell) even more , now" but then I changed my thoughts (yeah..Usual in me) and I wanted to writte " I love her even more now, and I love powell more too"
NP:Horton Hears a Who
Now I Understand all the music he showed to us in Ubeda.
The man theme is not so great like Happy feet, for put just an example, but I really think is his craziest score ever ( and talking about powell, this is say very much).
From track 20 to the end is explosive!!! -

NP: Rambo - Brian Tyler.
I just love this score. It's like a darker, more militaristic and action-oriented version of Partition, also by Tyler and one of my favorite scores of 2007. But it definitely the kind of score that you must see the film (and enjoy the film) to appreciate, so I understand it's not for everyone. But I love it.
I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

The louder, aggressive parts of it are highlights for sure; but on album, it has a lot of dragging underscore that ruins the whole. I guess you could always edit what you like into your own playlist for sure, but once the magic is spoiled....Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I don't mind the underscore, it's pleasant for the most part and it provides a nice break from the louder parts.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

I obviously forgot MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (Doyle) and THE PIANO (Nyman) as well. I think it's a bit generous to include some of the scores listed in other posts, THE FUGITIVE, FREE WILLY, and ONCE UPON A FOREST for example, as the 'year's best'.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

True, but at least this one is pre-chosen for you. It takes but a few seconds to make a playlist on iTunes, and hey presto you have a better album.

An absolutely wonderful score, it has just the right amount of everything to make it a truly diverse listening experience. Cues such as The Egg Travels, The Courtship, Raptors / Stand Together and Breakout remind me why this album is always in my top 3 JNH efforts. I want another Disney score from this man!

Indeed. Have you noticed that every single theme in it is based off his previous scores? -

Edit:
Horton's is based on the motif that I keep going on about (it's been in Pluto Nash, Cody Banks, Ice Age, X-Men and Happy Feet).
There's another theme (Whoville's?) that seems like it's based off the ''aliens'' theme from Happy Feet.
And have you detected Magneto's theme for the Kangaroo?
