I just like anything that has some kick-ass, rauntchy, balls-to-the-walls heavy metal music in it. There's nothing better than listening to a bunch of angy kids thrash out the tunes in a good movie. What they are angry about, I have no idea? :D

Since the topic is scores AND soundtracks....I guess I'll add my two cents. Besides loving the scores for Star Wars, all of them, I also like soundtracks with actual songs and stuff. Some of my favs are:

Lost Highway
Twin Peaks (TV show, not Fire Walk With Me)
A Life Less Ordinary
Kill Bill, Vol. 1
The Crow
Pulp Fiction
Snatch
Singles
Spawn
Judgment Night
Fight Club
Requiem For a Dream (I guess this is more of a "score")
and for some strange reason, Resident Evil rocks!

Except maybe for Spawn and Resident Evil, most of the music on these soundtracks are featured in the movie. I HATE when soundtracks are made and advertise, "SONGS INSPIRED BY THE MOTION PICTURE" which means you're just getting some compilation of songs thrown together by someone that has nothing to do with the movie. It's just a way to make more damn money. And most of the songs suck. Anyone else feel the same way, or even disagree?

-Dave (as he listens to The Empire Strikes Back score) 8)

The best scores are:

Star Wars (John Williams is the best!)
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Titanic
Gladiator
The Village
Music Box
Battlestar Galactica
Annie
Victor/Victoria
My Fair Lady
Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Disney)
Nightmare Before Christmas
Batman
Top Gun

Seriously, is there a better score than Last of the Mohicians? The answer is no...

Tony

Last Samurai
Mission Impossible
Requiem for a Dream
Pi
Once upon a time in the west
SE7EN

And especialy House of Sand and Fog which has breathtaking score.

Definitely Once Upon a Time in the West.....Once Upon a Time in America has an excellent Morricone score as well...

I would also add Bernard Herrmann's score to Taxi Driver as a favorite of mine, as well as Jack Nitzsche's brilliant saw and glass One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest score
