terminator 2
Tron Legacy
The Crow
Shrek 2
Sucker Punch
So many good ones, I don't know how to choose.
- Interstellar 55555 (slightly cheating)
- Perfect Blue
- The Green Knight
- The Girl With All the Gifts
- Dune (the original)
- Densha Otoko
- Spirited Away
- Dark Knight
- Interstellar
- The Last of Us (game and show)
- Innocent Venus
Tron 2. Daft Punk without lyrics is perfect for me.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a good one.
Fight Club.
X-files.
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
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)
Trainspotting
Hackers
Atomic Blonde
Go
Grease
The Big Lebowski
The Crow
Mary Poppins
The crow
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is my absolute fav.
- Conan The Barbarian by Basil Polidouris
- Aliens by James Horner
- The Good The Bad And The Ugly by Ennio Morricone
- Cosmos
- Blade Runner
Vangelis, enough said.
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
- Lock stock and two smoking barrels
- o’ brother where art thou
- tron (daft punk)
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!
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.
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good
- Tron by Draft Punk
- Lord of the Ring
- Interstellar
- The Graduate
My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.
Tron Legacy.
One of the few soundtracks I can listen from front to back.
Into the wild
Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).
Pump Up The Volume
To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn't been mentioned yet
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.
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.

Highlander
Amélie
I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)
Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.
The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.
Animatrix. It's been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.
Escape from New York.
Oldboy.
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.
Queen of The Damned' soundtrack is the GOAT. That cd was far better than the movie.
