Satu tahun setelahnya, dia bertemu produser asal New York producer, Scott Rudin, yang mengundangnya untuk menyusun komposisi musik untuk film Reckless (1984).[6] Tahun 1992, Newman menyusun komposisi musik untuk film karya Martin Brest berjudul Scent of a Woman. Tahun 1994, merupakan kali pertama namanya masuk nominasi dalam Academy Award untuk film garapannya, The Shawshank Redemption dan Little Women.[5] Dia juga mengerjakan untuk film The War. Tahun 1996, dia terlibat dalam proyek film karya Diane Keaton, Unstrung Heroes, yang juga masuk nominasi lagi dalam Oscar. Pada tahun 1998, film karya Robert Redford The Horse Whisperer dan Meet Joe Black pun dia kerjakan. Sedangkan tahun 1999, Newman menyusun komposisi musik untuk film Sam Mendes, American Beauty, dengan memasukkan unsur musik perkusi secara dominan. "[7] Ini merupakan kerja sama pertama dengan Mendes.
