I hate Mozart, but he was a good composer, if a bit bland.
Film composers- You guys have to remember that whether or not they are super original is not their fault. Can one blame Williams for 'Star Wars' sounding a lot like Mars? Not really, Lucas was ready to just use Mars, until Williams gave him something to satisfy him. Now, whether or not one can blame him for 'Star Wars' sounding like Stravinsky is something else.
My vote for worst reputable composer is a tough one. I really like Tchaikovsky, but he's not the best composer, as form and such go, from what I've seen. He's good at coming up with fun material, but it's not always displayed the best.
