I forgot all about Heavy Metal and The Crow. I love "The Big Empty" by STP.

From a purely technical and musical standpoint, my favorite film score of all time is 'The Lord of the Rings'. Epic, at times surreal, mysterious, and beautiful. The music IS the movie. The rest of my top 5..

2. The Red Violin
3. Departures
4. Braveheart
5. Sherlock Holmes

No-one's mentioned THE FOUNTAIN by Clint Mansell - breathtaking stuff.

Morricone deserves a nod for GOOD, BAD and UGLY

Top Fives are really hard, but the other three I'd add are Ry Cooder's PARIS TEXAS, Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen's HOMEBOY and John Williams STAR WARS - EP 4.
