o/t best movie soundtrack of all time?

[Nogbad]

As music that both fits with and enhances the film, I could support Jock's nomination of Paris, Texas, but in the same light I'd nominate Local Hero (Knopfler did really well here with his first soundtrack), and as Kubrick gets a mention above for 2001, I'd suggest Barry Lyndon (who he?) as a better Kubrick example.

[Scum-Triumphant]

There Will Be Blood

[Lolmorgan]

Duelling banjos (Deliverance)

[Lolmorgan]

Lawrence of Arabia (Maurice Jarre)

[CTMilller]

Measured in terms of tunes that I still like to hum I would add:

The Great Escape and Bonnie and Clyde.

I think the Ennio Morricone scores for the Sergio Leone films (Good, Bad and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More) are absolutely brilliant. In fact the music makes the films.

I've also gor a real soft spot for Laras Theme in Doctor Zivago.

[BigLadonOS]

Jaws is a very iconic tune and still one of the best ever movie tunes.

[monty_rhodes]

Oh Brother Where Art Thou (as per Wrinkly above), A Clockwork Orange, The Draughtsman's Contract, The Devil's Violinist, Once Upon A Time In The West.

[Pocket rocket]

The funeral. American sniper.

Birdy

Birdy is a great shout - Peter Gabriel at his experimental best. For me, I’d say it’s a tie between ‘Pi’ and ‘Blade Runner’, with a special mention for ‘Event Horizon’. Simply great experimental electronica.
