Tron 2. Daft Punk without lyrics is perfect for me.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a good one.
A few of my favs, in no particular order:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- Tron: Legacy
- Oblivion
- Gladiator
- Star Wars (especially Episode I)
- Interestellar
- Cosmos
- Blade Runner
Vangelis, enough said.
- Conan The Barbarian by Basil Polidouris
- Aliens by James Horner
- The Good The Bad And The Ugly by Ennio Morricone
Trainspotting
Hackers
Atomic Blonde
Go
Grease
The Big Lebowski
The Crow
Mary Poppins
2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I love it.
A few that spring to mind...
Vertigo
Psycho
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive
All 3 LOTR films
Star Wars OT
Indiana Jones (especially Raiders)
The Sweet Smell of Success
Oh yes, I remember the Twin Peaks movie having the Cherubini requiem. Awesome stuff
Ah, I never knew what that piece was. It's fantastic though, a perfect fit along with all of Badalamenti and Lynch's music.
My particular favourite is the weird drone of The Pink Room, turned up loud, but it's all good!
Dune (1984)
The Fifth Element
Toto’s Dune score is objectively amazing, and also that one Brian Eno track was perfect. Good pick.
Either Pulp Fiction or Judgment Night.
Judgement Night is awesome!
Fuck yeah. Soundtrack is better than the movie. Lol
Ah, I've always had a soft spot for Emilio. He was just in so much stuff I watched back in the day. Anything he's in gets an ok from me, even if it isn't that great. 😉

- Lock stock and two smoking barrels
- o’ brother where art thou
- tron (daft punk)
- Tron by Draft Punk
- Lord of the Ring
- Interstellar
- The Graduate
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.
My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.
Koyaanisqatsi
Solaris (the remake)
Whiplash
Broken Flowers
The Fountain
Pirates ot Caribbean
Props for Koyaanisqatsi
I too like subjecting my neighbors to hours of Philip Glass albums.
I feel like whiplash is cheating but you right lol
Escape from New York.
Oldboy.
Highlander
The score for Star Trek II: the wrath of khan is absolutely amazing
James Horner nailed the starship motif. I enjoy the various other composers' works as well, but Horner is my top for Trek.
Howard Shore for all the Tolkien work. His music alone will paint the image of Middle Earth in my head.
And Hans Zimmer has some stuff I love, like Time, but he did his best job imo for Dune.
Already lots of LOTR & Tron: Legacy here. Not seeing much love for animated film scores, so on that note & in no particular order:
- How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, 1 is personal favorite
- Kung Fu Panda trilogy, 2 is ~~so fucking good oh my god~~ personal favorite
- The Lion King (1994)
- Spirited Away
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
- The Super Mario Movie
- Finding Nemo
- Up
A couple of these have great soundtracks, too, but I do love a good score.
Nausicaa!
Pump Up The Volume
Not sure if "favorite", I can't recall every soundtrack I've heard, but definitely one of my top favorites and the first I thought of.

To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn't been mentioned yet
Animatrix. It's been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good
Into the wild
Haven’t seen anyone mention Cinema Paradiso or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Both are wildly different. Ennio Morricone is a genius.
There’s also The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino
The Greatest Showman - Various Artists
Saving Private Ryan - John Williams
The Prince of Egypt - Hans Zimmer
The Gospel of John - Jeff Dann (great middle eastern vibe)
Tron Legacy
The Crow
Shrek 2
Sucker Punch
Last Samurai is super chill
Spawn The Album. Such great collabs! https://tidal.com/album/33972202?u
Also
The Horse Whisper https://open.spotify.com/album/5TkEej0XgyiQyWHfXwrE9w

Gross Pointe Blank
Bad Company (Trevor Rabin)
Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris)
Star Trek 2009 (Michael Giacchino)
The Mask Of Zorro (James Horner)
Tron Legacy.
One of the few soundtracks I can listen from front to back.
The crow
Lately, I've been listening to The Martian. I'm kind of a sucker for synthy orchestral compositions and that soundtrack is just so hauntingly beautiful.
Scream 3
Django unchained
American pie
Spiderman into the spider verse
Velvet Goldmine
Clerks
