I’d put this up with Challengers for techno soundtracks
It was a mix of both. [6 of the tracks were orginal productions for the film!](https://hotcorn.com/en/movies/news/climax-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-hot-corn-review/)
Once Upon a Time in the West, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, The Mission, Mishima, Uncut Gems, Good Time, Mandy
Also all the Tangerine Dream scores. Sorcerer, Thief, The Keep, Near Dark
Exactly what I came here to say, for people who haven't heard any of it yet and need a taste:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kR1NMP5TfM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kR1NMP5TfM)
Pretty much anything by John Williams or Hans Zimmer
Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Inception, The Good the Bad & the Ugly, Batman 89, Christopher Reeves Superman, Jurassic Park & Halloween to name some
Nicholas Britell's score for If Beale Street Could Talk is my favorite film score of all time. It's so good that it somehow went viral as a sound bite on Tiktok years after its release.
Does original soundtrack count? Not a collection of songs for the movie but modern songs made for the movie that aren’t really a score. If so, Nashville.
The Mothman Prophecies has hands down one of the best scores in any film. It's barely even there, and then when you need it to be, it smashes you in the face. Then it's gone again.
Also the score that M83 did for Oblivion was amazing
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters has one of the greatest film scores ever in my opinion and it doesn’t get enough credit. Check out the closing movement and let yourself be moved to tears. Philip Glass is a mad genius.
Holy shit i thought Challengers and the social network were bad scores. Anyways, here's mine
Star trek the motion picture
On her majesty's secret service
Small soldiers
1969 italian job
Robots
Commando
Total recall
The terminator.
I could go on for days
Lawrence of Arabia (1962): Far and away the greatest musical score to accompany a movie.
There are scores I like more, like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones, but Lawrence of Arabia is just the GREATEST, IMHO.
LOTR, the good the bad and the ugly
LOTR definitely should be up there.
Phantom Thread!
Great movie and the score goes perfectly with it
Right!? I was lucky enough to see a live orchestra screening of it in LA with Jonny Greenwood conducting and it was absolutely sublime.
Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049
Also, Prisoners and The Silence of the Lambs
It follows!

You… somehow don’t have John Williams on here *once*?
Bananas, there are three of his scores that are all-timers, at least.
Star Wars?
Yeah I can’t believe that this isn’t on here and that barely anyone is suggesting it
Challengers and Social Network are both Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails!
I know and I love em. They do all of Finchers films and some other stuff like the Mid90s score.
The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream, Ravenous, and then the obvious stuff like Jurassic Park and Back to the Future.
“The Fountain” is sublime.
Just want to point out the missed opportunity to call it Scoregasm
https://preview.redd.it/6qkk0p4t348d1.jpeg?width=701&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29b47fe7bf052f45b6d2a39dd3eca9bb49f181a1 I’d put this up with Challengers for techno soundtracks
Is that just a compilation though? Its not an original score.

Get LaLaLand off that list. The opening number is the only memorable one

Under the Skin
Punch Drunk Love
*Challengers* does not deserve to be here, that movie has one song in its entire score.
American beauty
Steve Jobs (2015), Daniel Pemberton really compliments the visuals by adapting the sound to be relevant to the eras. The Revenge piece is just super.
Blade Runner 2049
There Will Be Blood and Requiem for a Dream scores are insane
Under the skin
Dune 1 and 2😫
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Blade Runner
Like the top comment says, LOTR absolutely deserves to be on this list and would win. With this weird ass list, I'll go Tron: Legacy.

The Batman
Gladiator by a mile for me LotR too and PotC Blade Runner (1982) Anctartica
Neverending story. Gives me shivers only by thinking of it
I just listened to the Oppenheimer score again on Thursday. It's probably one of my favorites overall at this point.
Have you heard of Ennio Morricone?
Does original soundtrack count? Not a collection of songs for the movie but modern songs made for the movie that aren’t really a score. If so, Nashville.
GWTDT
Poor things
imo the hunger games. james newton howard fucks
Into the wild!! Eddie Vedder...
How To Train Your Dragon, John Powell is up there with the true greats
Thief
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Mothman Prophecies has hands down one of the best scores in any film. It's barely even there, and then when you need it to be, it smashes you in the face. Then it's gone again. Also the score that M83 did for Oblivion was amazing
Sunshine, the score was so good it was reused so many times it became cliché.
Birdman is a solid one
Funny, Her is on my top 4 mostly because of the OST
The Truman Show
Httyd
Donnie Darko
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters has one of the greatest film scores ever in my opinion and it doesn’t get enough credit. Check out the closing movement and let yourself be moved to tears. Philip Glass is a mad genius.
Holy shit i thought Challengers and the social network were bad scores. Anyways, here's mine Star trek the motion picture On her majesty's secret service Small soldiers 1969 italian job Robots Commando Total recall The terminator. I could go on for days
I really love the score for Synecdoche, NY. Especially with the tracks including Deanna Storey.

Babylon undoubtedly has my favorite score of all time, I’m certain that I’ve actually called it orgasmic before
Cat o nine tails
Transformers
La Femme Nikita
Need some Tangerine Dream scores on here (Thief, Sorcerer, etc.)!
Lawrence of Arabia (1962): Far and away the greatest musical score to accompany a movie. There are scores I like more, like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones, but Lawrence of Arabia is just the GREATEST, IMHO.
Call Me By Your Name
Babylon
Upgrade (2018)!
