Sustained Denial of Service attacks. Paid for botnet. Service will continue to be disrupted until I can contact other providers and arrange a fix.
I'm pretty cool with the Donnie Darko score. Something about the piano is just so minimalistic and nice.

Also, obligatory "Ice Dance" love mention.

I so come off as an edgy teen with this selection, but hey, nice music is nice music. :mrgreen:

I absolutely love Jon Brion's work in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I have a HUGE collection of soundtracks, mostly Danny Elfman because I have a raging lady boner for almost everything he does. I'm going to post stuff by other great composers though:
[youtube]esn6yRqrt6Q[/youtube]Shirley Walker's Main Theme to Willard. Took me forever to track down the complete soundtrack.
[youtube]il7cQ8OZj5I[/youtube]I love me some Jan Hammer.
[youtube]pzRU9bCJto[/youtube]Beyond The Mind's eye is an amazing soundtrack and this one's my favorite track.
[youtube]VQTQSCka5Hk[/youtube]Aaaaaaaand something super obscure. The opening theme to Traders, a 90's Canadian comedy/drama about Bay Street stock traders which, despite what I just described, was a really good show.

Nankyoku Monogatari scored by Vangelis. If you like Japanese films I can't recommend Nankyoku Monogatari (Antarctica) highly enough and please do not go near the shitty Disney remake that ruined the original story. This is the only film that made me cry. If you don't cry at the end of Antarctica you don't have a heart.

The soundtrack to The Crow -- the original -- is something I've been hunting for. While the movie inspired a decade of mall goths, and LEE FAMILY CURSE! theories, the soundtrack is well put together and has a surprising A-list.
The overture to Star Wars is a severe nostalgia thing for me. I saw the first one in the theater when I was way too little to see Han shoot first.
The entirety of Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings soundtracks.If you've read the books and you know a tiny bit about the different peoples, you just feel that the Shire Theme is total, perfect Hobbit music, and the haunting spike fiddle in the Rohirrim scenes is perfect for a culture that's basically Old English/Germanic with a bit of Celtic.

Oh the agony of choice.......
Shawshank redemption's score is one of the very, very few scores capable of making me feel uplifted in my cynical early 20s old age
The Thing/Halloween/Fck it, all john carpenter movies (with good scores) have scores that while simplistic are both utterly memorable and manage to convey a sense of horror and isolation
28 days later also has an awesome use of music to highlight the horror and tension
Star wars obviously has arguably the most memorable score in history which as noted above is pure awesome nostlgia fuel
Once upon a time in the west/The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, seriously ennio morricone is a god of soundtrack and manages to give each of the "Dollars" trilogy and OUATITW a highly distinct and memorable score, and alltogether I think these constitute the best movie scores in history
but of course the single best theme in history has to be....

Along with the sound track, I really love the score to Heavy Metal, its very epic (I know the internet over uses that word) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYxdhpHCixA
Enter the Dragon,and the original Dawn of the Dead, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has a great one too, it gives the movie a lot of atmosphere

Angelo Badalamentis work in The Straight Story
The Rock, especially this one

Fight Club's soundtrack by The Dust Brothers is iconic.
And of course.

I really idealized this film. Eddie Vedder writing the whole album for the movie always stood out.

Some osts are great on their own a, you can enjoy them without having watched the movie, others become truly amazing because of the movie, like this one, i cannot listen to any of the songs without dying of feels because of the scenes in the movie, it just goes so perfect
My favorite is the Tangerine Dream score to Risky Business, but any of their movie scores are great.
