Requiem for a dream
Lore

crossroads


special mention tv show- the leftovers

Shouldn't you be tossing a coin somewhere :p;)?

What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss?:drevil:

Air I think :D.

I must confess that I'm not big on noticing musical scores in non-musical films but there are few films where I think the music is a standout element:

The Road to Perdition

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Young Frankenstein

Hannah and her Sisters

Manhattan

Driving Miss Daisy

The Godfather

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

Birdman (The music was almost all percussion and was awesome)

ONCE UPON A TIME IN WEST is the first that comes to mind!

Also:
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Interstellar
Pulp Fiction (:) it's not an original OST I know)
Mean Streets

And my favorite composer "Joe Hisaishi". I can't imagine A Scene at Sea, Hana-Bi or SONATINE without his hypnotic music. Joe Hisaishi and Kitano = Perfect!

"Drive"
Hell yeah!

Re: Perfect Film Scores
 

Taxi Driver
Blade Runner
2001: A Space Odyssey
Apocalypse Now

All of these movies are made so much better my the score. I can't imagine these movies without the scores.

Just got this back during record store day. So freakin amazing.

Listened to bits of Toto's score again today. Impossible to imagine the film without it. It's an extremely emotive soundtrack and I particularly like how awesome and menacing Frank Herbert's future sounds, with that underlying note of tragedy.

Goodfellas

I had a class on "Film Elements" and this soundtrack was used to show how the music can set the pace and mood of a movie. I also thought it was great.

Lost Highway

My icon is an indicator that I also thought "Lost Highway" had a good soundtrack.

Re: Perfect Film Scores
 

I might be obsessed with Hans Zimmer lol

Interstellar
Hacksaw Ridge
Dune (Part One and Part Two)
The Creator
Skyfall
Blade Runner 2049
Spirited Away
Oppenheimer
Tenet

Re: Perfect Film Scores
 

Star Wars
Terminator 2

The music works hand in hand with the movie and is impossible to not think about when you remember these films.

Re: Perfect Film Scores
 

There are a lot of film scores which are simply great music and would likely work for more than one movie. But perfect for a single movie?

The Ghost and Mrs Muir
The Big Country
Lawrence of Arabia

While I would not endorse the entire film score as being "perfect", this 18 seconds certainly is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAHaRDlUrLw
