Guess the Score XVI -- Water, water everywhere [Finished]

It's summer and what better way to cool down than to make a splash and get wet. All the 20 clips in this game have some sort of water theme to them (perhaps the movie or its setting). For each clip (#1-18) you get 1 point for identifying the composer and another point for the movie. The two bonus clips carry double points; hence you play for a total of 44 points! (18*2 + 2*4)

Submit your guesses via a PM. I'll let this run for about a week.

General hints:
The 18 clips are arranged in chronological order and span 66 years. Bonus clip #1 is from 2004, and #2 is from 1996.
Each composer appears only once.
There were 3 instances of 2 films belonging to the same year. I followed no particular order for sorting those.
Two of the movies have a connection to a certain big ship
Some of the settings for the other movies are: sea adventures, stranded in an island, dangerous waters, the search for water, and sea animals.

I'll add individual cue hints later this evening. The idea is for folks to have fun and not worry about 'tough' cues.

Hints
#1 The original swashbuckler in the seas. From a period where wall-to-wall music was very common. This received a spectacular new recording last year (album paired with another score by the same composer)

#2 A historical event (in 1789) was the subject of a number of books and movies. This film received multiple Oscar nominations (but no wins). Many would consider the lead star as the greatest actor of all time.

#3 Someone has a unique way of returning home from a party. It involves getting wet at every home along the way. This composer has won a whole range of top awards.

#4 One of the many unsuccessful attempts in escaping imprisonment in this movie was by observing a pattern in the sea currents and trying to take advantage of it.

#5 No one should need a clue for this. If in doubt listen to only the last 2 seconds of the clip

#6 One of my favorite composers (sadly very few seem to like him around here, I guess) provides an ethereal atmosphere to the opening scene set in a shower room. Some girl is having her first .

#7 A game about the waters would be incomplete without this composer. The lead star in the film was married to a popular tennis player in the late 90s.

#8 That big ship. There's a lot of work to be done once it was discovered in the ocean floor.

#9 There could not be a more depressing film about wanting water. A city-smart character's attempt at farming gets thwarted.

#10 Many would agree that this score was robbed of an Oscar award.

#11 From a composer who was also in my last game. He has won a number of BAFTA awards.

#12 Rain plays a spoilsport in this charming comedy, wrecking what the townsfolk have 'built'. The movie title is quite a mouthful.

#13 A passionate theme for a story of love with that big ship as the setting. Very elegant, very European.

#14 This should be an easy one for the Media Ventures fans.

#15 A lush theme from a composer who's more known for his moody and mysterious scores. One of the stars in that big ship movie is in this one too.

#16 There's hardly much music in this film, hence no full score release. This end credits cue is from a compilation. From one of the top director & composer collaborations of our times.

#17 From a TV series on the history of the oceans! The production team reunited for another successful series in 2006.

#18 My favorite cue of that year. It captures that feel of having been through a long journey, full of charm, magic and hope for a better tomorrow. This composer's collaboration with this director have seen his scores go from strength to strength. Alas, the director's career graph is simply plummeting.

Bonus #1 (from 2004)
Obscure French film. This composer has only two commercial score releases so far and both are simply stunning (Demetris will agree). Afflicted by severe drought this African tribe belive that they will have rains only when a certain lion is killed and send out a group of their young boys on this mission.

Bonus #2 (from 1996)
From an Oscar winning composer! I'm not sure about the water theme in the movie but there's 'rain' in the title (translated).
