And not just the reworking of "The End", but all the atmospheric ethereal stuff, too. Wow....gotta dig that out, now.
Rhythm Devils- Apocalypse Now Sessions- (Rykodisc)
All the Mickey Hart/Bill Kreutzmann & Co. atmospheric stuff, at full length.
Tasty.

Another plug for Badalamenti, Morricone, Elfman, etc. (so many great talents).
However, I'm a complete sucker for anything from Thomas Newman. As mentioned by others previously: American Beauty, Shawshank Redemtion, Road to Perdition. I also love his score for the Horse Whisperer. The list goes on.
I also really dug the way Spike Lee used Aaron Copeland for "He Got Game."

Jerry Goldsmith- Poltergeist- (somewhat cheesy with the "la la la" girls choir but everything else was rockin') just saw it last night
El Maquinista (the Machinist) - composed by Roque Ba?os "lots of theremin"
just like PSYCHO, and The Day the Earth Stood Still!
ditto Requiem for a Dream, Clint Mansell
Elmer Bernstein - responsible for the classics like Animal House and Ghostbusters!

Jon Brion's work is always great (Hard Eight, Eternal Sunshine, I Heart Huckabees, Punch-Drunk Love, Magnolia) and the soundtracks to Wes Anderson's films are always great (Mark Mothersbaugh and a good selection of pop/rock music). Air's music on Virgin Suicides is great too. That Bjork musical "Dancer in the Dark" was interesting, but I guess it's not exactly a film score.

I dig a lot of what's been mentioned already (Morricone, Goblin, Wendy Carlos, Jon Brion, Mark Mothersbaugh, Danny Elfman, Air, Kevin Shields, The Holy Mountain...), but one that nobody's mentioned so far is Tobe Hooper's score for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There's barely a single melody in the whole thing and it's totally effective. Another one I like is the original Night Of The Living Dead. As the situation in the film gets worse and worse, the score degenerates into primitive synth madness.

Good stuff all around, I really love all the Stanley Kubrick ones.
I got an unusual one for ya'll:
The Akira soundtrack.
Track 1: HUGE taiko drum orchestra and chorus
Track 4: Incredible sampled/sequenced balinese gamelon orchestra, chorus, and organ thing!?!?
Track 6: Buddist chanting somehow made musical through the miracles of modern technology
Track 9: Traditional Japanese Noh theatre?!?!?
Somehow it all works and sounds awesome, although it does have a very digital 80's grainy converters kinda sound.

Lynch/Badalamenti - Fire Walk with Me, Twin Peaks, Elephant Man, Dune(toto), Lost Highway, Wild at Heart!! etc.
Jim Jarmusch - Deadman!, Ghostdog(RZA), Mystery Train, etc.
Ill second Jojimbo, the last fight scene that just comes in on the highhat is so fukn good. Infact all the Kurosawa movies Ive seen have great soundtracks.
Wes Anderson movie sountracks are like really cool mixtapes.
tis all I can think of.
Lachie
PS. If anyone has vinyl copies of said sountracks Id love to trade/buy from you!

"The Hot Spot". Dennis Hopper film with a young Jennifer Connelly and Don Johnson. Jack Nitzsche score with Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal, Earl Palmer, and more. So low down. I lost my copy but just found one on the ebay. The cuts with Miles and Hooker are bad ass. The movie is pretty good, too.
