Clint Mansell's score for The Fountain is incredible

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihF_aXi-Huk
As are all of his other scores, I guess

I love Mychael Danna's score for Tideland:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOED_RP4nT4

Popol Vuh's music in Nosferatu (in fact, pretty much all those classic Herzog scores, especially Aguirre and Cobra Verde):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiEwnhVwzy0

This is kind of cheating as it's existing songs rather than score but the addition of the character voiceover on this World's End Girlfriend track from the film Air Doll is wonderful, especially when you read the translation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX8f6TJaryo

Jon Brion's Synecdoche, New York score is lovely:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXRI6Cx-S98

And this is another that might be cheating but the Max Richter/Dinah Washington track from Shutter Island slays me every time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmBMls_Sxas

Toru Takemitsu created some creepy, ahead of its time music for Woman In The Dunes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2rOFDmfpNg

Also, the big hitters like Argento's psych wigouts with Goblin in Suspiria and John Carpenter's awesome synth scores, or Morricone's score on The Thing.

The John Carpenter scores are great..

I really liked the Hired Hand OST (even though its difficult to find a physical version) and Yo La Tengo 'They shoot, We score' album is great. What about soundtracks made for films that don't exist or weren't included in the original movie such as DROKK!

- I think Boris wrote Mabuta No Ura as a score for an imaginary film
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91da9XpRupI
  
  Some of it ended up in Jarmusch's Limits Of Control, along with a bunch of Boris stuff. I'd not heard of The Hired Hand, really liking what I've heard so far. May have to check out that film based solely on that

Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack for Twin Peaks

I thought Mark Isham's soundtrack for Crash (not the J G Ballard adaptation) was pretty good

Really nice pad-y/choral/ambient stuff. Then some idiot decided that Stereophonics' 'Maybe Tomorrow' should go on the end of it, ruins the whole fucking thing.

Here is the album: http://store.isham.com/album/crash-original-motion-picture-soundtrack

U-Turn is a combo of bespoke film music

and C&W hits, along with one of my favourite ever songs:

This one by Stefano Liberati is a classic

http://www.discogs.com/Stefano-Liberati-Pericolo-Negli-Abissi-Colonna-Sonora-Originale-Del-Film/master/386011

Never seen the film but bought it because I thought any track called "shark jaz band" must be good. I was right.

Koyaanisqatsi's soundtrack by Philip Glass is incredible

The Grid is probably my favourite piece of classical music of all time

Thin Red Line by Hans Zimmer

His others for Gladiator and Inception, TDK are also good.

My favourite soundtrack is

for an Australian film called 'Praise'. Some original material by Dirty Three, a bit of flamenco, some old scratchy folk and country. It's great!

It's pretty much:

1. Everything John Williams ever did
2. Someone else (probably Danny Elfman or Hans Zimmer)

Howard Shore's work for Lord of the Rings (and now The Hobbit)

is my favourite... by a million fucking miles

Drokk by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury

A soundtrack to Mega-City One and the world of Judge Dredd.

Not the actual soundtrack to the Dredd movie released last year, but it's awesome!

Showing my age

or at the least the age I was a teenager, but we're missing

Natural Born Killers - Trent Reznor produced fella
The early Tarantino soundtracks

(suffering from the mixing in dialogue thingy that no doubt annoys people)

Oh yeah and Trent Reznor did Lost Highway too

and grunge-tastic Singles sountrack...

Riz Ortalani's soundtrack for Cannibal Holocaust is phenomenal.

Another vote for the Singles soundtrack

I love O Brother Where Art Tho too.

West Side Story for musicals.

Lost in Translation

And the Beach are both good, even if they are compilations of existing songs mainly.

Agree on Solaris and Clint Mansell's work, all good.

Purely for it's driving techno soundtrack that compliments the film's fast pace perfectly.
